[SuSE Linux] setserial broken :/
Ok, tell me not to tinker with certain things. I deserve the scolding. I was trying to edit the file /sbin/setserial in order to see how to make my boot do the following: setserial /dev/ttyS2 irq 11 What I did was hose the file. It can't be used since it is now a binary file. Can I just recompile and restore it? Maybe just make dep? Advice, please. Does anyone know what file I should edit to add "setserial /dev/ttyS2 irq 11" to the boot sequence? I haven't toyed with this in Linux. One other item so I can keep this down to one post: I have wvdial working perfectly. As soon as I ask xfmail to check my mail, the connection breaks. I suppose by the time I get to NS mail (yuk) I won't have this problem, right? Has anyone used xfmail here? Better ideas are always welcome. :) Thanks, all.

Mandelbrot:/kernel/initdisk # rpm -qf /sbin/setserial util-2.6-18 So just do a forced install of package util

Yes. SMACK.

Never touch /sbin/setserial. This is the binary executable (which from what you say may still be valid, but don't bank on it if you have interefered with it) which sets up a serial port according to the parameters in the command "/sbin/setserial <params>". The text file you should edit is (in S.u.S.E.-5.1 at any rate) /sbin/init.d/serial (For explanations, see "man setserial".) This is a script which calls the program /sbin/setserial repeatedly according to the requirements which you specify by editing /sbin/init.d/serial. If you have managed to modify /sbin/setserial by accident, you may have to re-instate it off the CD somehow. Not sure about the best way to do this. Hope this helps, and good luck.

He could just cp it from the live filesystem CD.

<font size=3>Are there any WYSIWYG HTML editors for Linux? I'm getting very tired of W95 crashing in the middle of my work. I'd really like something with a site/project view and more flexibility than Netscape Composer. I don't want to spend all my development time struggling with code in emacs, either.</font>
