tty1..6 are usually the serial ports. I guess that the kernel didn't find

pppd and chat man pages. You will need to do your own scripts, wich are
specific to your isp.

I don't think. But you can find a f77 f2c translator, or compilator (g77).

/etc/rc and /etc/rc.local.

xdm.

tcl is an interpreted language. tk is a front end graphical interface for
