Hi Digital Man

Re: Rasberry Pi unix help with install

secondly I have been on wiki.synchro.net/install:nix and just having
a bit of troule following it

There are step-by-step instructions specifically for the pi here: http://wiki.synchro.net/howto:raspbian_install

Thank you for this link, make thing easer for me, will try this out and see how I go.

drwxr-xr-x 23 root root 740 Oct 6 09:18 run
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Oct 7 10:58 sbbs -> /home/pi/sbbs/

Sure, assuming that's an ls output of the root directory.

knowing me probably not ie

if I go to terminal emulation
ls
I have desktop downloads sbbs
cd /
ls
I have bin dev home lost+found root sbbs sys usr
----

but if say it should be in the root dir

then I may not have it right.

Thank you

Hi Deon

Re: Rasberry Pi unix help with install

with installing unix sbbs please i not much good with unix but I would like to try.

Hi Sneaky,

I've installed fine on a Raspberry Pi. I found on the wiki a howto for Raspberry Pi, and I followed that (sorry cant give you a link, I'm

that's fine, it has been passed onto me so that's cool.

travelling to the US and at LA airport the synchro.net website is "blocked" (?)

Okay.

My install is actually in docker using the debian:stretch container
(plus the pre-reqs on the wiki) - and it compiled no problems. In
theory it should work on Raspbian directly.

Okay cool.

I will build a Pi docker container, which will make installation as
simple as "docker pull ...." but that might need to wait until I return home.

Not sure what Pi docker container is, but sound good to make things easyer for me,
but no hurry just when you have same spear time when you get home thank you.

No, you have it right. '/' is called the "root directory" (same as with DOS and Windows). "/root" is different (the home directory for the 'root' user).

That looks right. '/' is what's called the "root directory", so the symlink is in the right place. /root is known as either /root or root's home directory.

You might get a bit more information if you ls -l

This will give you a long list and you can check if your symlinks are
correct.

bbs@bbs:/$ ls -l sbbs
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Dec 4 2017 sbbs -> /home/bbs/sbbs


I can see that I'm properly linked. If you have colors set, a bad symlink
will usually show up red.

I think that was directed at the wrong person, but you are correct. :)

May I ask how and were you did this

sudo nano /etc/profile
type the above command in bash then goto the bottom of the file
and you will see it.
it's the last line
export SBBDCTRL=/sbbs/ctrl

Okay thank you, I will check that out in the /etc/profile you did.

wrong binary... copying the files into the tree doesn't have this problem but there is the (minor) additional drive space usage...
