I've made some changes to Inessential Linux-Athena, to document how to
change your /etc/inittab to pull up xlogin, to explain a few things
about mail (e.g. that mh doesn't work right now), mount options, and
so forth.
Some people have had trouble with the following command:
cd /; gzip -cd /tmp/attach.tgz | tar xvf -
Likewise for some of the other larger packages. Apparently, it fills
up the pipe and breaks. I changed the procedure to
cd /; tar xzf /tmp/package.tgz
And added a note that it assumes Gnu tar. This may not be quite
optimal, but it does work with large package archives.
This is in /afs/sipb/project/doc/linux-athena/linux-athena.tex
(checked into RCS, of course) and
/afs/sipb/project/doc/current/linux-athena.dvi.
