WARNING: THE PROGRAMS IN THIS SUITE DO *NOT* SUPPORT SHADOW PASSWORD FILES!
UNLESS YOU USE PAM.
WARNING: THIS COLLECTION CONFLICTS WITH SYSTEM V INITTAB.
UNLESS YOU CONFIGURE IT NOT TO.
WARNING: USE GNU TAR -- OTHER TARS WILL FAIL SILENTLY!
WARNING: DO *NOT* INSTALL WITHOUT THINKING.
WARNING: The simpleinit and some other programs in this package are
*NOT* System V compliant. These utilities are meant to be
used by people who build their own systems. If you are not
a wizard, do *NOT* blindly install these utilities: they could
prevent you from logging into your system. Have a boot floppy
ready, especially if you don't know what you are doing. It's a
great way to learn though ;-)
To install from source:
1) Get source distribution (see the .lsm file for locations)
2) Untar util-linux-2.9.tar.gz somewhere
3) cd util-linux-2.9
4) Edit MCONFIG
5) make
6) make install
7) If you want to use simpleinit and agetty, then make softlinks from
/sbin/init to simpleinit and from /sbin/getty to agetty, but make sure
that your /etc/inittab is set up right (this is *NOT* the System V
compatible init!), or you will be hosed. If you are using the SysV
init and/or some other getty, they you can keep using those.
If you have compilation problems:
- with -lcrypt: you forgot to edit MCONFIG and write HAVE_LIBCRYPT=no.
- in cfdisk or setterm: you forgot to edit MCONFIG and write HAVE_NCURSES=no
(or you forgot to write CURSESFLAGS=-I/usr/include/ncurses -DNCH=0)?
- in fdisksunlabel.c: change #if 1 into #if 0 if there is no <scsi/scsi.h>.
- in mount/nfsmount.c: change #if 1 into #if 0 if there is no inet_aton().
- in sys-utils/ipcs.c: change #if 0 into #if 1 if <linux/linkage.h> is needed.
- in sys-utils/cytune.c: change #if 0 into #if 1 if <linux/tqueue.h> is needed.
elsewhere: tell util-linux@math.uio.no about it.
If you have runtime problems:
- with non-ASCII characters: perhaps you forgot to set LC_CTYPE or LC_ALL?
(For example, in Norway one can say LC_ALL=no_NO; export LC_ALL and
then various utilities will treat Scandinavian non-ASCII letters as
letters.)
otherwise: tell util-linux@math.uio.no about it.
