So, I finally got a good install disk and it worked beautifully, thanks
Terrasoft folks!
Now, however, I have a bit of oddness that I can't quite figure out... I
was poking around my new install, trying to put configurations back the
way I had them (fstab, ppp stuff etc...). Right off the bat, I fired up
emacs to edit my fstab file (emacs /etc/fstab &), and nothing happened. I
hit return and I got a message like
[2] Stopped emacs fstab
I thought that was odd, but I decided to try and foreground it, so I typed
fg, and it popped up in my xterm like I had no X-server running. So, I
quit out and tried again, this time without the &. It popped right back up
in the xterm instead of making a new window for itself. I did an env for
the hell of it, and saw that term was indeed set to xterm and display was
set to 0.0 . What could possibly have gone wrong that would make emacs not
X aware? I am terribly puzzled...
