Two questions:
1) Why, when I type, "tar -x /usr/local/bin/bash-2.0.tar", do I get
"tar: can't open /dev/rst0 :No such file or directory"? I have even
tried to do a "./MAKEDEV rst0", but it won't make the device, and I can't
untar the archive.l
2) In the FAQ, it says to first "rm /etc/localtime" before sending a
"ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/myzone /etc/localtime". Why not just command,
"ln -fs /usr/share/zoneinfo/myzone /etc/localtime"? The "-f" flag
dissolves the previous link. Is this a guru thing?
Regards,
Sean. (Again.)
