[comp.os.minix] ST 1.5.5 report

jack@csmunix.larc.nasa.gov (Jack Dunn) (03/19/90)

I Have completed the 1.5.5 updates for the ST.

Here is what I have observed.

1. I don't have at.c. I think it is missing from the ST updates.

2. The Makedev script does not function. This problem has been
   present since 1.5.3 but was not noticed. In 1.5.3 the mknod
   program was changed to include a size parameter for block
   devices. The Makedev script was not updated to reflect this
   change. The correct form for the /dev/ram entry is

   mknod ram b 1 0 0

   Any other value for the size parameter will result in an error
   condition like the following for df

   df: Can't find bit maps of /dev/ram
   df: Can't find bit maps of /dev/hd4

3. The program tsort.c and term.c should be removed from the
   /use/src/commands directory.

4. The program stterm does not work. However, term does, but very
   slow response times. It maybe that stterm is not at the correct baud
   rate. The LED's on the modem blink, but charters are not echoed
   on the screen.
