Hi David, When I type 'mt status' I get:
-bash: mt: command not found so it appears I don't have 'mt'? What should I do now? Is 'mt' something I find on distribution cd's? (I searched for an executable file called mt but could only find my character device by that name plus some c++ source directory and a locale directory.)
