I have just finished installing LFS 5.0-PRE2. Everything seemed to go successfully (for once)
However, man pages don't work. When i try to use man command it says nroff not found. Methinks (or knows) this is a problem with the groff package. None of the files from groff seems to be installed. But I remember installing them
Also, why is everything black and white. I was under the impression that because we installed ncurses, the ls command would be in colour. I suppose i could use ls --color but how can i make this the default? If i remember correctly I can put this in ~/.bash_profile as
alias ls="ls --color -al"
Which would make my ls command perfect, but would it work?
Another thing, when booting, there are lots of boot options which seem to say not found etc. but they travel past very quickly so i cannot read them properly. I was wondering if this is normal (i guess not).
I did have problems at first with my eth0 not working because I forgot to compile support for my 3COM 3c90x into the kernel but I've done that now. Compiling the kernel is easy
One last thing, my commandline appears as
root#
On my host system (RH9) it appeared as
[root@walder:/]
which I like better. Anyway to change this?
Any help is appreciated...
