Error with startx

New MessageError with startx (modified 0 times) Tricky

I have finally got up and running on Jailbait 2.4.17ia on a IA-1. Ran through the config, using a D-Link DSB-650 as a Kawasaki NIC. It hung right after LILO after the first reboot, restarted, can ping over my linksys ok as root. When I try to run startx, I get the following error:

Error -3 while decompressing!
c02dl129c(-1968986506)->c16de000(4096)
xinit: error in loading shared libraries: libxmu.so.6: cannot read file data: Error 21

Looks as if the drive might be at capacity, about 6 bytes left!

Any ideas? This is my first stab at Linux, very encouraged so far....

I had a similar experience the first time I copied over the image to the internal disc. I've been using 'dd' rather than the DOS stuff, but maybe this will give you a clue as to your problem.

The two discs aren't EXACTLY the same number of blocks, (or something) so it didn't seem to close up the write properly or something.

The solution was to make sure I copied the exact number of blocks that the image contained. You can figure this out by dividing the EXACT number of bytes of the img file by 512 (assuming you're copying 512 byte blocks).

i did not have that problem, but i did my install the easy way. i downloaded an image, but it and a clone program (dolly.exe) onto a 64MB CF card (should fit on 32 no problem, including the minimal MS-DOS to boot off it), then i just copied the image onto the internal 16MB CF, it was a perfect fit. the image i used is configured to boot off the internal compact flash (/dev/hda) and can be downloaded from... well, i can't find the darn page... email me and i can send it to you, but it worked great on the first try! got to lilo, fixed root passwd, rebooted, logged in, startx, beatiful (i almost cried). anywho, shadowsunrise42@yahoo.com if you want a copy of the image i used.
dont panic
