It is now running Gentoo's bash. Bash has so few commands that I am feeling helpless. When I try a BOOT from DISC to my gentoo liveCD. The machine just ejects the disc.
bash has very few builtins. most everything is an external command. i think you're confusing these things.
I have eth0 working, but bash does not have a ssh command. Nor is there a demon sshd lying around. There is no 'locate' command. There is no 'find' command.
these programs are either not in your $PATH, or they arent installed. bash really has nothing to do with it -- it largely just searches your $PATH for the command you typed. Gentoo installs a busybox rescue shell by default which includes a lot of networking type commands. you can access it by running `bb` or `busybox <command>`.
I am very much missing something. What?
i really dont know what you're trying to do. if you're having sparc troubles, there's a Gentoo sparc e-mail list and irc channel where sparc peeps hang out. -mike
