QINGY
Qingy Is Not GettY
PLEASE NOTE: You should read the documentation for more/newer
details. This file might be updated slightly less
frequently than the info files.
/---------------\
| On your marks |
\---------------/
Just like nearly every other linux program ;-)
- Unpack tarball and cd to dir
- ./configure
- make
- make install
/---------------\
| Set up |
\---------------/
You have to modify your /etc/inittab file.
You should find in it a section that goes like this:
# TERMINALS
c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty1 linux
c2:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty2 linux
c3:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty3 linux
c4:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty4 linux
c5:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty5 linux
c6:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty6 linux
and modify it as follows:
# TERMINALS
c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/qingy tty1
c2:12345:respawn:/sbin/qingy tty2
c3:12345:respawn:/sbin/qingy tty3
c4:12345:respawn:/sbin/qingy tty4
c5:12345:respawn:/sbin/qingy tty5
c6:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty6 linux
After that you can either reboot your system or use
the following commands (as root):
init Q
killall <agetty>
where <agetty> is the name of your previous *getty.
After this, either logout or change terminal to see
qingy in all it's glory!
I suggest you leave at least one terminal with your old *getty,
so that in case of problems or misconfiguration
(remember that qingy is beta software, so there may well be
some bugs) you have at least one surely working terminal.
/---------------\
| GO! |
\---------------/
Yes, now you are ready to go ;-)
