I am not allowed to mount proc.  Device or resource busy.

I commented out the DOS line and the e2fsck line.
I ran rc.

set still gives me the path from BL2, following the path for BL3, and 
environment settings from BL2 (such as pilot for the PDA).

How would I get rid of them and only have BL3.50 settings?

I still don't have aliases.  I thought logging in accessed profile.


It would be handy to be able to run BL3.50 from inside another linux.

I was hoping to use it online after dialing with BL2 but ping says unknown 
host when run from BL3.50 (to which I chrooted).

I will plug in an external modem to test it online if this chroot cannot 
be made to work.  I have a free working serial port on this computer.
