[Trinux-talk] I need help please ...

[Gavin H. <gav...@ul...>]

Hi folks,

Firstly i am still learning linux/trinux (convert from windoze) so apologies
in advance if this is a stupid question.

Ok i have downloaded the iso image and made a bootable CD and I have got the
ide boot image floppy also.

My problem is when i boot with the ide floppy disk trinux boots fine and
finds the cdrom etc but i am unable to add any other packages.  when i use
getpkg <package name> nothing happens ... it just returns to the bash
prompt.

if i use pkgadd <package name>.tgz it says package added but then nothing
again.

I can mount the cd with mount /dev/hdc /mnt and then cd to it and see all
the packages in the trinux dir

If i just boot from the CD i get the same problems.

I have also added packages to the pkglist on the boot floppy but they just
get ignored during boot.

The solution is probably really easy but please can somebody tell me
what/where/why etc I am doing wrong

Regards

Gavin Hargreaves
