[Trinux-talk] (no subject)

[Ben B. <bb...@ce...>]

I just downloaded the newest version of Trinux. I am using the network
image, so I can simply load packages off trinux.sourceforge.net/pkg/ 

I tried to use getpkg but seeming nothing happened. So I looked at the
getpkg script and saw what you did so I tried

snarf http://trinux.sourceforge.net/pkg/vim.tgz - | gunzip -c | tar xvf - 


I added the v option to tar so I could see what was going on. It printed
out all the things I expected to see. . .. it wrote to /usr and /usr/local
and /bin and it wrote to /etc/init.d . But then I looked and nothing was
actually created. There was no /etc/init.d for example. Nothing that it
was supposed to write had actually been written. 

I don't know if this is important, but when booting, it says /dev/null is
mounted at /usr, /usr/local, and at /home

I'm really confused as to how to get network loading to work. What am I
doing wrong??

Thanks for any and all help you can give. I looked around for
documentation on this problem, but haven't found anything, so if there is
a good resource, please direct me to it.

Thanks
