[pocket-linux] RedHat 9 and the Pentium

[phil]

I am trying to build up a system on a Pentium 133 computer that I dug 
out of some pile. I am on chapter 3. Everything works okay until it gets 
to Bash. Then the computer just becomes a terminal. I can type and the 
characters appear on the screen but there is no # prompt and no 
functionality.

I used the root disk images from the Pocket Linux website and everything 
worked fine. Then I started copying files from the root disk image from 
PL onto my image and the problem went away when I copied the libraries. 
My Bash and David's Bash did the same thing but the libraries fixed it. 
Should I recompile the libraries? It worked in chapter 2 when Bash was 
statically linked but no joy on the dynamic libraries. I figure RedHat 
libraries are compiled for a higher processor than the P133 that I am 
trying to boot, is this a reasonable assumption?

Godspeed,
Phil
