When I finished with extract of the binaries, run the configure
( on the questions about domain name I put something unimaginable), and
mv /.profile /.profile.install, and tried to
ln /root/.profile /.profile , I discovered that system dosn't have the ln.
I didn't understand why and how, but I just
cp /root/.profile /.profile and .... typed reboot.
Uh.. Don't do that.. :-) I'm not sure what effect a /.profile might
have on the boot process, especially the .profile we ship for
installation in root's home directory (/root), but I wouldn't want to
try it!
Boot off the first 2 install floppys again and when it asks you if you want
to install, say `n' - you'll be staring at a "#" prompt.
If you're a SCSI user, type:
mount /dev/sd0a /mnt
rm /mnt/.profile
umount /mnt (may fail, if so don't worry about it)
halt
<remove floppy, reset system>
If you're an IDE user, substitute `wd0a' for the `sd0a' above.
