Another consideration in determining root size is whether or not you
will try to stay on the bleeding edge of Linux development.  Remember,
/lib will generally have to be part of /, not mounted, so you have to
allow for two or three incarnations of the shared libraries!

Since no one answered my questions about serial lines, I went ahead
and bought a two port 16550A compatible card.  It looked to me,
from examining serial.c, like the driver supported IRQ sharing on
COM1 & COM3, and COM2 and COM4; however my attempt to do that failed
(locked up my serial mouse on COM1).

So now I have the first port on my card using IRQ5, and the second
port is disabled.  Can someone please tell me what the "right" way
is to get four serial ports?  Is there a way in Linux to find out
which IRQs are in use?

Barry,

	I had a similar problem with my Logitech Bus Mouse.  The cure - for me 
- was to change the "Busmouse" line in Xconfig from /dev/ttys2 to /dev/mouse and un-comment that line.  I left the "Logitech" line commented out, I think. 

	I presume you have the bus mouse device driver "mouse", in /dev and 
are seeing the "Bus mouse found and installed" message during the boot up?
This happened auto-magically thanks to the famous "soft-landing system"
installation package - what a wonderful way to do it: Thanks Everybody!


Hope this helps,
Regards,
Andy.

Select is overkill for this type of application.  UNIX has allways had a 
simple way to manage full duplex communication, and in fact it is the way
kermit and the tip program work. 

The problem is that the read system call blocks if there is no data 
available.  Try it this way...

   if ((pid = fork()) == 0)          /* creat a second process... */
      { while(1)
          {read(modem,buffer,...);      /* Child can block ...*/
           write(terminal,buffer,...);
          }
      }
   else
      { while(1) 
          {read(terminal,buffer1,...);  /* Parent cab block ... */
           write(modem,buffer1,...);
          }
      }

The idea here is that you can manage full duplex communication in two
processes,  each of which handles a single direction.  Clearly you need
some termination condition as well, but this should help you get started.

Summary: It worked before, but not now...

Organization: Illinois State University

Hi,

   I was just wondering if anyone else came across this
problem.  I was trying to use kermit today as non-root
(something I and others on my machine have done in the
past without any difficulties) and I got the following
errors:

fatal: kermit setuid root
fatal: kermit setgid root
...

Anyone know what might be causing this?  I tried setting
kermit to r-xr-xr-x, but then couldn't access a lock on
/dev/ttys2 (com2), even though I had just cleaned out /tmp
as root.  I set it back to r-sr-xr-x, got the same errors
again.  Then I tried r-sr-sr-x, also to no avail.  All of
my tty's are set crw-rw-rw.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I am running the
SLS distribution, with the kernel upgraded to 0.97.4, gcc
upgraded to 2.2.2d, and X11 2.0 beta.  Otherwise I haven't
made any changes to my system.

Thanks in advance!

Jean.

Did you use binary mode when you downloaded it?

BTW, please wait for gcc 2.3. Linux is in there. RMS said it would be out
in one or two weeks.

To use gcc 2.3, you have to do two things first:

1. get my Linux Base System. you need disk 3 for the latest ld and ar.
2. put the shared lib stubs in /usr/lib. and need jump table ones as
   libfoo.sa and classic one as libfoo.ca. I just made a new symbolic links.

If you don't want to bother with these, please don't use gcc 2.3.

It has been a while since I have investigated VCR backups, but from what

What I would like to see is a DAT-based audio/backup system.  Maybe a DAT

The reason that I ask this is that there were some filesystem bugs in
the early 0.97 kernels, which could lead to filesystem corruption.
As a matter of fact, anyone using an early version of 0.97 should probably
upgrade to 0.98 ASAP.

I use LILO and mboot for my HD. They work great. LILO is just used for
boot sector for my Linux partition. Please do

1. install mboot. I just pit it on tsx-11 under pub/linux/GCC/rootdisk.
   you have to install it under DOS. Use msdos filesystem to transfter if
   you want.

   a) down load mboot.tar.Z and put it on Linux partition.
   b) unpack it.
   c) mount -t msdos /dev/hda1 /mnt
   d) cp mboot.com mboot.doc /mnt/foobar
   e) reboot DOS and run mboot.

2. Get my bootable roodisk from tsx-11 under pub/linux/GCC/rootdisk. Also
   get README.rootdisk.

3. boot it and install it on your Linux partition. read README.rootdisk
   when you do it. I just installed LILO in the bootsector on my
   Linux partition.

4. Reboot. Now you should be able to choose DOS or Linux to boot.

A couple of things:

1) Are you using the beta x11v2.0 that orest put up about a week ago??
	If not, then the trident won't work no matter what you do.

2) Are you specifying a chipset in Xconfig?
	If I remember correctly, don't do this, as X will find the card
	on its own and can't seem to find it with the chipset specified.

If you can't get it to work, follow up, and I will post my Xconfig for

Not really, and I very much doubt that he wants to be the 'one person'

Owen LeBlanc and I have tried to confer on various things we thought
it was important to keep uniform among the releases, but that's about

There might be an official 'Linux 1.0' with all sorts of goodies and a
sane distribution, and there might not.  People are trying to organize
things, but it is a giant undertaking.

The biggest problem, as always, is time.  Most of us have jobs or go
to school.  Linux is just a hobby.

>.97p2, is this a problem or not?

	All you need to do is edit the file /etc/issue.  This is just a text
file that contains the one line that linux prints on the login screen, and can
say anything you want it to (you could just as well make it say "VAX/VMS" :-).

That's normal if you logon to a unix system in upper case it assumes that
your terminal can only support upper case and thats all you get

I have been seeing some interesting ideas floating about on this thread.

I may have time to do some design work on this hardware after the first of 
the year.  What I would like to see before I start though is some coordination
and detailed specifications.  If there seems to be a consensus by the time
I get started, I will probably design to it.
