Re: Linux vs. DOS

Matt,

I tried manually entering as you suggest and what is happening is I get a
"segmentation fault" error message when I enter the line "insmod -v
/usr/local/nist/emc/plat/rtlinux_09J/lib/steppermod.o
SHMEM_BASE_ADDRESS=0x3F00000 PARPORT_IO_ADDRESS=0x378"

If I do a lsmod I see steppermod as used by [uninitialized] and stl_sched as
used by steppermod just like from the script.

I have to do some work around the house to keep the better half happy, but
if you will be at the number listed in your message in the early evening I
will try giving you a call.

Thanks,

Tim
