RE: [Trinux-talk] Console and setup questions....

Yes, video mode.... 
I ran VGA scan and I can't get much more than the 80x34 resolution I already
have. To make better use of the screen, I suppose I'd have to find a way to
load the drivers for the video adapter in the laptop and run X86cfg....So
for the time-being, I guess its good like it is :-)

Yes, you're right, profile, .bashrc, and .profile do seem to be ignored at
the initial "login". I extended ../tux/init/last to copy a modified .bashrc
to /etc/profile and .bashrc with no results after boot-up. But if I
specifically invoke bash after I enter the console, it reads .bashrc and I
get the $PATH other environment changes I'm after. I don't think modifying
and recompiling initrd.gz would help, so that, too, will stay like it is for
now. What's the "issue" with busybox?

Got 'em. Thanks!

Next question: Has anyone successfully compiled and run nessus server on
trinux?
Thanks and best regards,
Sam

I assume you mean video mode selection? If you edit the syslinux.cfg on
the boot disk, you can modify what the initial resolution by
tweaking the vga=x value.



There are some definite "issues" with environment variables caused by
busybox which cause profile .profile .bashrc to be ignored. There has been
some traffic on the busybox mailing list regarding this issue, but haven't
had time to find a workaround.
