Hi all;
As I was reading this morning, I saw several questions (and a few answers
to thoughs questions as well).
1.5.10 IS 1.5PH We should start calling this 1.5 and forever
more call it as such. That should prevent such confusion in the future.
1.5 can be diferentiated from the first beta release of 1.5, because
that was called 1.5.x not 1.5
sync?? Mostly answered. But if youre file system was damaged
during this, you can repair file system damage with fsck. This will not
recover lost data that was in the buffers, but it will prevent you from
having to re-mkfs.
login on /dev/tty2. I don't know exactly what you mean by channg
COM2 to be your default but, what you want is a getty not a login from
init. Read the code for init, as it tells you what the numbers and
letters in /etc/ttys means. In short, the 1st number tells whether
it is 'on or off', and which proccess to run getty or login. The letter
tells the initial baud rate. Getty needs a file called /etc/gettydefs
which helps getty figure out what baud rate your terminal is running at.
/etc/passwd As stated, remember to update your floppies.

PS if you're stuck without a gettydefs I could mail you
one.
