I've got a few questions that I'm sure many other people have asked, but I haven't seen a reply to them. So I guess it's my turn. First, how does one go about building 'man1'? So far I've got 3 man entries I'd like to put in, but can't figure out what to put in man1 so it can build a proper index. How do you use a modem for dial-in logins? I know you use getty and modem, but other that 'modem -i2 /dev/tty1' what do you type? When I enter that, the machine works away at something, but it doesn't initialize my modem. Is it 'normal' to get 'before first getreq' each time you start up sherver? And does 'sherver bozo' and 'rsh bozo' actually work similar to a rlogin? According to the manual, it says I should be able to type 'cat /etc/passwd'. Well, if it returns anything, it isn't displaying it to my screen. And I still can't get ps to work in a kernal with Amoeba in it. I've recompiled the kernel with the -s flag on asld to keep the symbol table, I've recompiled ps after running under the new kernel... I've double-checked the paths where kernel/mm/fs are supposed to be kept. And I still get the kernel namelist not found error. Finally, what is 'Advanced Minix'? More importantly, where do I get ahold of it? I have a rather serious need for the TIOCICNT flag, a poll() system call, or something that will let me work with non blocking I/O.
