|From: lrnamrca@ix.netcom.com (D. Duke Smith ) | |Hi - | |I'm having some difficulty getting loaded from the |Walnut Creek CD: | |1) It looks for a CD at 0x300; my SoundBlaster 16ASP | can only be at 220, 240, 260, or 280. How can I | change the I/O @ of /dev/mcd0? | |2) I was able to get most of the system by putting a | DOS (Yecch!) partition on the disk & copying the | distributions to it, but I can't create a directory | called xfree86-3.1 due to the filename length res- | trictions of DOS. Is there any hope of ever getting | X on my system? Anyway, the directory name on the CD | is , but the install routine looks for the | other name. | |3) Once I have gotten some of the system loaded, how | can I install additional packages without going | through the install procedure which newfs's every- | thing? Sysinstall didn't seem to want to let me | do this either. You can also simply unpack all of X yourself using: cd /usr for i in /dos/..../XFREE86_/X31*.tgz; do tar xzf $i done or in 'csh' syntax: cd /usr foreach i (/dos/..../XFREE86_/X31*.tgz) tar xzf $i end Then remove the manifest file if you like: rm /usr/MANIF* Rich
