A /dev/lp device was not created when I installed the binary distribution. Is it just a simple matter of doing a mknod ? If so, what are the relevant major and minor devices numbers ? 2) Should Mtools work straight out of the box ? If for example I issue mdir a: it produces the message init: open: No such file or directory. Most of the other mtools commands produce similar messages. 3) When I try and use ktrace, it just says Bad System call - core dumped. 4) How do I configure the system for UK local time ? I tried symlinking /etc/localtime to /usr/share/zoneinfo/GB-Eire, but this puts the clock about 8 hours ahead. Any help or (polite!) suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Steve
