The fixit should really get a copy of /etc/protocols and a reasonable subset of /etc/services. I've always typed in the 3-liner files by hand. :) > Charging right ahead, I decide to put a copy of /etc/protocols and > /etc/services on the fixit disk. > > This does not help. Well, the fixit floppy ain't mounted on /, it's mounted on /mnt1. So you still need to ln -s /mnt1/etc/protocols /etc ln -s /mnt1/etc/services /etc Alas, this is not pertinent across reboots, since the root f/s is a memory file system. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
