Hi,
My problem goes beyond that.
I tried using mulinux 11r2 on my system. But it could not mount the hard
disk, I got an error message that said
"Unable to mount fs due to optional features"
I replaced the standard muLinux Kernel with Linux 2.2.14 Kernel (Very
crude but installation works barring X :-))
It took me a week to Cofigure X on it, but finally what I see is
"aterm: can't open pseudo-tty terminal" in the log file /var/log/startx.log
.
Could you tell me how to go about it, or could you guide me to someone
else.
Regards
Sukhdeep
