I am getting the bin,manpages and doc directories okay by using ftp and creating a DOS partition and installing from there. I installed 2.2.6 and was unable to get "ppp" to run. I get the error "ld.so failed cannot find libdes.so.3.0" I went back and installed 2.1.7.1 and to ppp to run but could not get "top" and some other utility programs to run. Out of memory errors?? KVM_ : is a directory?? I now have gone back to 2.2.6 and still get the ld.so error, but "top" and the other utilities appear to run okay. This has been a real struggle taking over 2 weeks. (average ftp download rate is 2.6 kb/sec). Are the shared libraries on another directory? When I quit the install program there were some references to a "share" directory which appear to be errors. I would like to think that the bin directory contained everything needed to get the os up. Is there a way to get the .so files without performing another complete download?
