Subject: SLS update: ghostscript fonts, and mailpak.
Date: 13 Dec 92 20:51:02 GMT
Organization: University of Victoria, Victoria, BC, CANADA


The latest upgrade of SLS is up on tsx-11 (except for b5/smail.taz, which
I uploaded to sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/Incoming/smail.taz, because
tsx-11 ran out of space again).   Except for adding the afm fonts for
doc to the 'x' series, all the changes are in the 'b' series.

The main additions, are mailpak (thanks to Vince S.) and the ghostscript
and afm fonts.  I was really against bulking up SLS with Megs worth of
fonts, but now that it is done, you can finally do WYSIWYG composition
using SLS (X11, Ghostscript, Idraw and Doc).  

As usual, I reorganized, so some packages got moved to different disks.
This is a hazard of trying to keep the distribution floppy based.
This time however, I documented the moves and deletes in the HISTORY  file
which follows.


921213: b1/syslogd.taz:  updated version
	b4/syslogd.taz:  [rm]
	b5/man.taz: [mv] to b6
	b5/man2.taz: [mv] to b4
	b5/*: GS, fixkbd, smail, uucp
	b6/elm2_3.taz: [rm]
	b6/uucp.taz: [rm]
	b6/install.end: [rm]
	b6/tin1p4.taz: 
	b7/*: Ghostscript fonts
	b8/*: News and mail stuff (and new elm)
	x5/afm1.taz: Fonts for Doc/postscript
	x8/afm2.taz: Fonts for Doc/postscript


It looks worse than it is, because I explicitly indicate when I moved
something ([mv] to dest) and when I deleted something ([rm]).  I will
be following this convention rigorously in the future, so it should
even be possible to use a script or program to do the updates for
you, depending where you are.

The next update will probably be in the next few days, but will just be
the kernel upgrade to .99, as I am anxious to rid SLS of a patched kernel.
Also, we could be seeing a new version of Doc, and hopefully the rest of
the Interviews package, after shared jump libs are generated for X and IV.
After that, SLS will stop adding new features, and concentrate on fleshing
out what is there, and making it better.

As he make clear earlier, emf has not been reading long enough to 
even know the reason that things are being cross posted.  Which
is also the reason that split was voted down (when the Senate doesn't
vote by a 2/3 majority to override a veto: its said that it was voted down).
That is that not everyone is reading this by way of usenet. Most people
voted against it in *courtesy* to them. Courtesy. Think about it.

You know this article made me so angry that I decided that this
rather endearing chap is correct: screw the rules.  The guidelines

As the first step in ignoring the "ignorant administrative slobs" I

I am having trouble with running ghostscript from the latest SLS
release.  Actually, now that I think of it I have the new a,b,c
disks, but an old version of x.  Since I am not running x, I just
used the libX11.so.2.0 that gs needs to work.

Anyway, I finally got lpr to work, so this is what I was trying to
do.

	gs -sDEVICE=epson -r180x180 -sOutputFile=\|lpr chess.ps

and I get an 
	
	initializing...done

message, and then it gives me an 
	
	error: /undefined <garbage goes here>

and about two screenfulls of 

	-stringtype -stringtype -stringtype...

and a few stack messages, and then a prompt.
Any suggestions?

     you seem to have forgotten that to read mac disks with spectre,
Dave had to include some pretty funky hardware in the cartridge to
handle the variable bit rate comming from the drive.  the happy
cartridge (i think it was called the discovery cart or something, from
happy systems) could also read mac disks if i remember right.  the
idea here is that instead of having a fixed bit rate and a variable
speed drive, you have a fixed speed drive and a variable bit rate.  i
really doubt that stock hardware in a pc would be able to handle this,
considering that they can't even handle amiga format disks.  there
have been a couple cards for the pc, like the Copy II PC option board
that can read mac disks, maybe you could write some sort of software
to use it under linux. =)

Subject: Installing SLS package with SCSI drives
Date: 15 Dec 92 17:56:46 GMT
Organization: University of Waterloo

Hi, please forgive me if this question has been asked a hundred billion times
but I looked everywhere for an answer and this is my last resort.
I have a 386-25Mhz w. 387, 4 meg ram, DTC3280 SCSI host and Connor CP3200 and
ST-296N SCSI drives. I have tries many many times to install the SLS package
found on wuarhive.wustl.edu but I cannot get the boot routine to recognise
the DTC host or any of the drives. (0 SCSI hosts, 0 SCSI drives... )
I heard of so-called 'SCSI distributions' but I have not been able to locate
and such thing. I believe it's the same package except that the boot/root disk
contain SCSI drivers.
If anyone out there can point me in the right direction, I would be most
grateful. I would prefer to have the latest SCSI version.

PS The DTC3200 is a host by Data Technologies Corp. Will this work with Linux?

Thanks in advance!

Subject: TCP and TIOC questions
Organization: The Voice of Fate
Date: Mon, 14 Dec 1992 06:34:35 GMT

    I'm starting to do some fun porting, and since I haven't done too much
porting on Linux before (at least, not hard stuff) I have decided that as I run
into problems I'm going to post to c.o.l about them. I figure it's either a bug
or something that people should know about anyway. :)

    First of all. My stuff tries to use the TCP business a little. It
complained about the lack of sin_zero in /usr/include/netinet/in.h. The only
other thing that looks like it would fit instead is the __pad thing, but I was
looking at include files on other systems and they all seem to have sin_zero.
So why is Linux trying to be nonstandard here?

    Second of all. I see this kind of thing posted about a lot, but I guess we
all have to have our turn at this. My code is looking for things like TIOCGETP
and TIOCSETN. They don't appear to be declared anywhere, though linux/termios.h
certainly has a lot of defines with names that come pretty close. Are there
some equivalents from that file which I should be using in place of the
TIOCGETP and TIOCSETN? One thing that made me suspicious about whether or not
this "right" was the fact that curses.h makes a reference to TIOCGETP, which is
certainly out of place on a system that doesn't define that in any other
include file.

    Anyone wanna field these?

The auto-detecting floppy devices (/dev/fd0 and /dev/fd1) don't know
the format after a media change and fdformat obviously has no way to
"probe" the format.

You either have to:
  - access the floppy after inserting it but before formatting. This
    only works if the floppy has already been formatted and you want
    to re-format it in the same format.
  - use setfdprm to define the desired format after inserting the
    floppy.
  - use the fixed-format devices (/dev/fd0H* etc.)

Yup, there is a simple way.

You didn't set the root device of your kernel to /dev/hda1. You should use
rdev aka setroot to do that and then run /etc/lilo/install again.
Alternatively, you could add the root device to your LILO configuration,
so LILO will take care of this from then on:

Old-style: append ,/dev/hda1 to the image description of your kernel, e.g.
           /linux,/dev/hda1
New-style (0.7): add  root = /dev/hda1  after the image = ... line.

By the way, you should upgrade to LILO 0.7 to avoid possible problems
with 0.98pl6.

Sounds like a problem I've had a couple of times resulting in the partition
table looking something like:

hda1    1   1   250 ...
hda2  1276321924649%90
hda3  1920809809 903 90
hda4  500 500   600

deleting the last three partitions and creating them with the original
figures again fixes it, then fsck (with -av because you get screens and
screens of 'block xxxxxx marked busy is not in any file') brings the
filesystems back. Like you, I could see no reason for it and everything
seemed to work ok afterwards - hasn't happened to me for a while now so
I assumed it had gone away (I still make a paper copy of the partition
table though!)

Hello once again,

E-mail bounced, and I lost the original article, but I just wanted to thank
the person who posted in reponse to my problem getting the snd-kit 0.4 to
work with my PAS-16.  The problem was indeed an IRQ conflict, although I
still haven't found out what other piece of hardware is using the other
IRQ (I compiled the kernel with PAS's IRQ as 10 and now it works...)

Does anybody know of a good way to find out what DMA's, IRQ's, etc are
being used under linux.  Obviously, some are displayed at bootup, but others
are not, and some devices use different interrupts than under DOS.  Just
curious -- this might come in useful again someday.

Again, many thanks for the help, and for an incredible operating system!

Happy Winter Solstice! :-)

Jean.
