Hi all

I am a newcomer of this ML. And I installed CentOS a
couple of hours ago on my i386 box because it is said
that CentOS is a community based binary distro of
RHEL. Before that I used to use RH9(it is quite out of
date for my newly upgraded PC) as my host environment
to work on embedded systems.

The installation procedure went smoothly and after
that everything looked functional, however, I found
that the minicom had a problem -
When I started it in GNOME terminal window using
“minicom -s” for the time, the program halted like
this: 

[root at localhost ~]# minicom -s
minicom: WARNING: configuration file not found, using
defaults

And then I could not input any commands, I had to
close the GNOME terminal window manually. I can
remember it clearly that this command(minicom -s)
should start the configuration procedure of minicom in
RH9.

Then I tried to reinstall the minicom program by using
“yum remove minicom” and then “yum install
minicom”, but the problem remains.

Could some tell me how to solve this problem? Any
hints would be highly appreciated.

P. S. the version of my minicom program is:
[root at localhost ~]# minicom --version
minicom version 2.00.0 (compiled Feb 21 2005)

Best regards,
