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 Before that I used to use RH9(it is quite out of date for my newly upgraded PC) as my host environment to work on embedded systems.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, Jarod Wang ---- Oracle Asia R&D Center, Shenzhen, P. R.
