Found and fixed. Check out the ALphaLinux FAQ at the following URL for
the answer:
http://www.alphalinux.org/faq/FAQ-1.html#ss1.3
The specific question that gave me the answer is the "vi handles
keystrokes in batches of four." The solution was to put stty in /bin and
add "stty of '^a'" to /etc/profile. I am now officially pressing my luck
on the rootdisk size issue.
This fixes the following:
- elvis not working on rootdisk
- nfs intall getting all messed up
- root password prompt getting all messed up
- dead terminal once setup is done
It'll get sunc out later tonight/early tomorrow, as I usually do. This is
one major barrier to a public FTP release out of the way. I want to do
that soon...
