I finally got around to installing it. It started up perfectly
and I was able to instantly start using X, etc.
I don't think it is very much of a bother to go download
plip when plip involves some setup anyway.
I notice that you have alias dir='ls -Al' set in profile. I
changed it to alias dir='ls -Al | cat' and now it behaves
more like DOS dir (no color).
ls seems to check stdout's filetype and add color if it
is a terminal.
I just now noticed that BL3.32+ has busybox fdisk
instead of cfdisk. Sindi, did you try this fdisk? It should
work better than cfdisk on a disk with a bad partition
table.
lynx 2.8.6 (static) works perfectly. The LTmodem driver
than I mentioned earlier does not work. Fortunately,
the 2.2.26 kernel is newer so there is a better chance
of finding a driver. I will try more add-ons later today.
In the 'mail' program, when you are composing a new
message and you are prompted for a subject line, the
Backspace key does not work in rxvt but it does work in
command-line mode. Is this an old bug? The backspace
and delete keys work perfectly in other programs with
rxvt.
I will do some more testing. I should try to get my two
wireless network cards going with BL3.4.
Steven, thank you very much for sharing all of these
BL versions with us.
David
