I recently reinstalled 1.0 on my system (had to repartition my root drive)
and I remembered 2 things that I had a problem with while installing. It'd
be nice if these are fixed for the 1.1 release. I don't keep up with -current
anymore, so these may be fixed, but I thought it was worth the mail anyways.
the Load_tape() function in /.commonutils is broken. It has:
$TAR xvpf --unlink /dev/$which
It should probably be:
$TAR --unlink xvpf /dev/$which
next, the /dev/MAKEDEV doesn't make the non-rewinding versions of wt0.
I had to dig through some kernel sources to find the minor numbers:
crw-rw-r-- 1 root operator 10, 4 Oct 9 21:13 nrwt0
brw-rw-r-- 1 root operator 3, 4 Oct 9 21:13 nwt0
hope this helps...
