 Subject : mulinux: about FAQ 3.9

 Hi Robert,

 I recently downloaded the _fantastic_ mu-linux (vers. 12r2,
 called 'Babilonia' ... I don't know why ... due to its meaning of
 confusion!) and found a trouble on reading (.exe) files loaded
 in a mounted floppy. The FAQ 3.9 shown underneath hasn't be clear
 enough to solve the problem and then I'm asking you the courtesy
 to help me.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
 Question:
3.9 I have compiled (gcc) a hello.c application under my Red Hat 2.0.36
kernel host environment, but I am not able to run it on a muLinux 10r2
!?!?!?

Answer:
The kernel is not the problem. You must check with ldd what are the required 
shared C-Libraries: libc5? libc6? Furthermore: did you set the executable
flag (chmod +x command)? Is the command in the path?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

 Let me tell you what I've done:

 1- Booting mu-linux: floppy #1, called BOOT (2 addons: X11,GCC)
 2- Executing: mount /dev/fd0 /mnt  (well done)
    (file spline.exe, coming from a previous gcc-compilation,
     resides in the floppy)
 3- Executing: cd /mnt              (well done)
 4- Checking:  ls *.exe             (right, spline.exe detected)
 5- Executing: chmod +x spline.exe  (well done)
 6- Executing: ./spline.exe

    Result: Some _ human unreadable_ characters appear on the screen
            along with the most of Unix commands. The only way to
            proceed on is ... rebooting !!!

 End of story ... up to now, Robert. Please, be kind enough to let
 me know something about.

 Thanking in advance, I remain
