[time-nuts] Trying LinuxPPS - can't get 'git'

[Keith E. Brandt, M.D.]

I've run into problems on setting up linuxpps and need help.

I've got a 900 mHz PIII Dell set up with Debian 3.1r4 and updated the 
kernel to 2.6.20. I then went to look for the patches for the 
Linuxpps and that's where I'm stuck. It requires cloning the 
repository using git. I installed git, but when I follow the 
instruction on http://wiki.enneenne.com/index.php/LinuxPPS_support, 
using the 'git clone git://
git.enneenne.com/linuxpps' I keep get a 'chdir: permission denied' 
error. I also get that error with any git command except a naked 
'git' command, which brings up local files. I tried the git tutorial 
on git wiki, and I keep running into the same error. The 'git config 
--global user.name' command gives me an 'unknown option' error.

Any suggestions/pointers?

Keith

   there's cleaner space out here to roam
Put my feet up on the moons of Mars-
   sit back, relax, and count the stars
