0.96 (boot) and mcc-interim, shell problem help.

Post by rat.. » Fri, 15 May 1992 06:20:18



I am having a strange problem with 0.96 linux-boot image
and the mcc-interim root and other binaries.

In the login shell the command
   ls -l /dev | more
does nothing prompt comes back.

If a subshell is spawned using the command
   sh
the command
   ls -l /dev | more
works as expected.

BTW, the following commands
  cat file | more and
  pr file | more
work as promised. Any pointer to the problem will be
greatly appreciated.

With thanks,

Are you using bash? And is ls redefined as a function? I find I have to put
functions in a subshell to work, eg -

(ls -l /dev) | more

1. mcc-interim 0.96?

I noticed an announcement a little more than a week ago that the update to the
mcc-interim release of Linux (from the .uk ftp site) was "just about done"
and was expected out around early last week - but the /pub/linux/mcc-interim/
0.96/ directory at ftp.mcc.ac.uk is still empty and I haven't caught any
announcement on it's status.

Anyone know of the status on the release?

Thanks,
