re wvdial with Build-ix86-1.0-rc6-r12.iso. |
| 2 |
While proceeding through the instructions "Gentoo Linux 1.0_rc6 'from |
| 3 |
source' (build) CD Installation I included wvdial as follows: |
| 4 |
#chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash |
| 5 |
#env-update |
| 6 |
#source /etc/profile |
| 7 |
(config network as per instructions if required) |
| 8 |
(cp the following files from the gentoo-i686-excl-bin-1.0_rc5 CD) |
| 9 |
#cd / |
| 10 |
#tar -xvjpf /tmp/wget-1.7.tbz2 |
| 11 |
#tar -xvjpf /tmp/ppp-2.4.1-r1.tbz2 |
| 12 |
#tar -xvjpf /tmp/wvdial-1.41-r3.tbz2 |
| 13 |
#ldd /usr/bin/wvdial (cannot find libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3) |
| 14 |
#tar -xvjpf /tmp/gcc-2.95.3-r1.tbz2 (to obtain above library) |
| 15 |
#ln -s gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.95.3/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 |
| 16 |
(borrowed conf files from earlier linux system: |
| 17 |
options,pap-secrets,host.conf,hostname,hosts,wgetrc,wvdial.conf,modules and |
| 18 |
adjusted where necessary) |
| 19 |
#mknod /dev/ppp c 108 0 |
| 20 |
#chmod 600 /dev/ppp |
| 21 |
#touch /var/log/ppp.log |
| 22 |
#chmod g+w /etc/ppp |
| 23 |
#chmod u+s /usr/sbin/pppd |
| 24 |
(ALT F2) |
| 25 |
#wvdial |
| 26 |
(ALT F1) |
| 27 |
#emerge rsync |
| 28 |
(continued with instructions) |

I would appreciate any comments /improvements as I am a newie. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
I would also like some help with: |
| 33 |
I copied (cp -R) a whole root partition from a sda disk to a hda disk then |
| 34 |
restructured the sda disk using fdisk then copied (cp -R) the partion back |
| 35 |
to the sda disk. When I tried to reboot the system while the kernel was |
| 36 |
being uncompressed, I got a message stating that the compression type of the |
| 37 |
file had been changed. Any comments. Have I used the wrong method? |
| 38 |

Many thanks, |
