Configuring Ambrose's Netwinder
How to get started
I got my replacement NetWinder from CCC a couple of weeks ago.
Now the next job is to create a workable environment
that will survive a disk image upgrade.
I don't know if anything here would be useful at all.
They probably will be of some limited use,
but perhaps not.
RCS
The first thing I did is to RCS-control every system file I edit.
Hopefully, I will be able to back-patch my edited versions
if I need to overwrite my /etc directory during upgrades.
Use the empty partition
The empty partition ought to be used.
It seems that the most logical place to mount it
is to mount it on /home.
Installing binaries
One of the annoyances of the NetWinder's factory settings
is that there is stuff in /usr/local.
This is real bad;
the stuff should probably be put into /usr/ccc or some such other place.
Following my own bad habit, I decided to follow Waterloo's xhier convention
and place stuff under /software.
In this case, /software would be a symlink into /home
because the empty space is in /home.
