[linuxdc-dev] New to this list, many questions

[Starman <st...@ma...>]

Hi all,
  I just got a DC a few days ago to replace the one I sold a year ago
which I thought I'd never need again. I accidentally found out about
this project while looking throught the XBox Linux project mailing list
archives.
 
Some questions:
I downloaded an iso and it boots almost perfectly. I got it from
dcemulation.com. It has X and it works fine with my kb and mouse.
However, ps doesn't work. I've been using UNIX for over 15 years and ps
has always been the one and only program to check the process list. This
version of Linux (kernel 2.4.something) has something else as ps.
Something about symlinking I belive (I could be wrong). Anyone know why?
 
Is the BBA supported in the one I downloaded, or in the latest snapsot?
 
Anyone get Apache to run? The folks at the NetBSD DC project have Apache
running.
 
The documentation/article gives no details about a development
environment, just the tools to use. Is Cygwin OK? Anyone using Windows
as their development platform? I don't use Linux on a regular basis, and
making a Linux box would be a serious pain in the neck right now the way
I have my machines set up. How out of date is that article? Is there a
diff/update for it in CVS?
 
Why no iso bootable images?
 
Why is the CVS repository dusty? I see items that look important that
haven't been updated in over a year, yet the mailing list is active.
 
Is it possible to save settings in the VMU? Not secure, but this isn't
server farm material now, is it? :)
 
Thanks. I hope to start fiddling with this more.
 
Mike
