When it trys to run dev_mkdb it gets a not enouph memory error but I have 8 megs of RAM and am not running X so there should be lots of memory. I also don't load any network daemons which should also free up some space. It seems neccesary because 'ps' keeps warning me the file dev.db does not exist. Also, in the master.passwd file I don't know what half the fields are for, my own personal account cannot use 'gcc' because permission is denied 'cpp' for access to some file /tmp/cc232930. I have been doing all my 'C' work with 'root'. How do you set privlege level?
