WLUG folks-> I got my ULTRA1 Creator up and running. I accomplished this by taking my original (Aurora) hard drive out of slot 1 and reinstalled the hard drive that had been there in the first place. When I had the Aurora in slot 1 everything booted and looked perfect for X Windows, but then in the last step it crashed. 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. 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. I am very much missing something. What? I now feel challenged. Ken

bash has very few builtins. most everything is an external command. i think you're confusing these things.

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 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
