Alt-F1 brings up the menu but then you need a mouse to use it.

No you don't. The arrow keys can be used.
If the arrow keys on your strange keyboard
dont't work, I suggest you edit .jwmrc and
put in keys that do work on your keyboard.

The arrow keys work (after remapping with xmodmap) if I first move the mouse pointer to on top of the menu. I don't recall if SWM required that.
This JWM appears to need a mouse.

I am trying to test the fs.img mounted as a loop
from within ext2 BL2.

That's not the best way to do it. Some
things are not going to work right.

I chrooted to it
chroot /mnt /bin/sh --login
(I can also mount /proc if I want).

You must mount /proc. Otherwise many things go wrong.
I did this time.


I tried to run /etc/rc but e2fsck is in there
and objected.

It's looking for C:\BASLIN
I suggest you remove that line.

Okay. The system is mounted because I had to mount it to chroot to it. Should I also remove the e2fsck line from rc? Can I e2fsck the filesystem before mounting it to chroot?

Startx works but
rxvt: can't execute "bin/bash"

Why does rxvt need bash when chrooted?

I have no idea. It is weird behavior (that doesn't
happen when the filesystem is booted the usual way).
Nevertheless, I will add a dummy /bin/bash to BL3.50

How can I fix this?

edit /bin/bash
------------------------
exec /bin/busybox ash $@
------------------------

Then: chmod +x /bin/bash

That worked perfectly.


Now I am certain I have only one rxvt, made via the menu, and it is not accessing the aliases such as edit, d, or links. Is this related to chrooting? My path is still that of the BL2 I chrooted from. Profile sets aliases and path. rc also sets path. I had better edit and use it.

ash: edit: not found.

Cheers,
Steven
