[Plex86-devel] VGA font error

[James Labarre]

OK, so I tried figuring out Plex86 without the documentation. I loaded the kernel module, installed the VGA font, copied a disk image over that I had been trying out under Bochs 1.4CVS, and tried running Plex. Running it each time gives me the following results:

==================================================

===================================================

I verified the font was copied to where Plex wanted to put it. The installer script fails when trying to update XFS, so I manually ran "mkfontdir ." in the misc directory where it copied it, then ran "xfs restart" for the font server. I even tried rebooting the system, then reloading the kernel module. Still the same result. I can't look in "docs-html/install.html", as it doesn't exist in my installation (compiled from the 20020502 tarball).

What's my next step?
