linux-lp FTP sites



Ok, thank you all for the patience and cooperation in providing linux-lp144
(beta 0.0) a ftp home. The following ftp homes are confirmed:

ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/Linux/distributions/linux-lp144*
ftp://ftp.pet.ac.il/pub/mirror/linux/linux-lp*
ftp://ftp2.linux.org.il/ftp/contrib/local/linux-lp/linux-lp*

The following bugs are known to exist in linux-lp144 0.0beta:

1) minicom comes up in mono mode. This makes it work well with mono screens
and is deliberate.
2) minicom cannot be suspended (CTRL-A-J) as it hangs the machine (with the
terminal working). Remedy: Reboot by pressing RESET. This will also hang up
a modem if connected.
3) the command df is missing. Will be added in the next version.

Please spread the linux-lp. You can download it, put it on a diskette and
give it to someone who wishes to try linux at home without installing to
the hard disk. Also send opinions etc.

regards,
  Peter (plp@actcom.co.il)
