I am in the process of building my own linux system. I have a bootable linux kernel ona minimal ext2 filesystem and midnight commander. That is all. Now I want to add software, and do not have the make command. What software package would I need to install first, in order to run make? I thought it might be bin86 or gcc. Any suggestions. Also I have two kernels which I boot between. One displays the boot sequence and the other appears to be directed to a /dev/null. I have not been able to locate where I would change this. It must be in the kernel itself. Thanks In Advance Brian R. Barnholtz -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
