Script run older ver. ap. in other parbreastion 1661

The News & mail reader, rna, is written as an ash script, for mulinux: a brilliantly simple 1m7-fd0 installation. I love the simplicity of these Italian designs, compared to the Disneyland crap.

Here's my log:- Runmnt-p3-rna-rna from mc == # .-rna shift: can't shift that many for "shift" don't you love mc?!. == found twice eg. ====== #!-bin-ash ################################## # RNA Messenger # rustic MUA for muLinux ################################## # v0.23 (C) 2000, M.Andreoli # 7-10-00 tweaks by A.

Try force use of mulinx-ash ==edit "#!-bin-ash" to "#!mnt-p3-bin-ash" & test-run ==mnt-p3-bin-ash: can't load library 'libc.so.5' Try sym-link in 'lib-dir' See where mulinux has libc.so.5 using mc of course !. ?! not sure how to use mc to do this !? Try: ln -slib-libc.so.5 mnt-p3-lib-libc.so.5.4.13 == ln: `-mnt-p3-lib-libc.so.5.4.13': File exists Try: ln -smnt-p3-lib-libc.so.5.4.13lib-libc.so.5 == mc shows the required link as the most recent entry-file oflib-* ! Test run: # .-FC1rna == .: Can't open rna.conf == found inmnt-p3-etc == mc: copy toetc & test run == .-FC1rna cat:usr-rna-welcome: No such file or directory exec: muless: not found ?!?! OK this 'making the web-of-files available to the script in the mulinux parbreastion is not practical. What I want is to redirect all calls to '-rootto '-mnt-p3' for the duration of running the RNA script-application.

Is that possible ?

And then a further refinement-complication: if some daemon eg. sendmail, fetchmail is used, I need to use the existing running version in the 'real'root-tree ?

Thanks for info,
