And if you're looking for cheap, the Seagate ST-01's 
can be found for ~$20 mail order.  Electronically,
they seem to be SCSI. Some BIOS's have problems
talking to certain drives.  Under Linux, that isn't 
a problem, and it should be a cheap way to get a supported
CD-ROM drive.

This is probably a limit in the rootdisks - I think the /dev/hdaX
entries only go as far as /dev/hda8.  The fix is very simple: just
create the needed special files with mknod:

  # mknod /dev/hda9 b 3 9
  # mknod /dev/hda10 b 3 10

etc.  By doing a "ls -l /dev/hd*" you see the device numbers, and the
setup should be pretty obvious when reading them.

The problem is the default number of rows that linux uses: I have
stupidly set the value to 25 instead of the normal 24 for a vt100
terminal.  The fix should once more be very simple: do a

  # stty rows 24 columns 80

or

  # eval `resize`

on the line before staring up.

The man-pages for most GNU things are in the sources - for some binaries
(like fsck) no man page is available, and you have to read the actual
source files.

This is usually a mark of a bad compile of the shell, but I haven't seen
it (but I use my own port of most relatively simple things). Don't know
of any simple fix.

Its even easier than that.  When you install the timesrc stuff, you get a  
bunch of timezone files in /usr/lib/zoneinfo (or maybe you have to move  
them there by hand, I forget).  Then all you have to do is make a link  
from the zone you're in to localtime, such as
	cd /usr/lib/zoneinfo
	ln -s Canada/Eastern localtime
and everything is hunky-dory.

This way, you don't need to set the TZ environment variable at all.

You may have to rip out the code that sets the TZ variable from login.c,  
where it doesn't belong in the first place.

Actually, I deliberately left it out, since I at least usually try
things out when I compile programs, and if we can't run programs from a
compressed filesystem...

Besides, I suppose that one would have sources in /usr/src only during
compilation of a program, and the rest of the time they'd be in
/usr/lib/cvs.

On my friend's 486 50 Mhz, with Adaptec 1542, we got a similar problem
when we attempted booting using the 97.1 boot/root floppy images from tsx-11.  
The boot from the 5 1/4 " floppy A: never got to the "insert root floppy" point;
we got rolling screens full of the error message from line 305 of aha1542.c

	  printk("aha1542_queuecommand: Two concurrent queuecommand?\n");

and had to reboot.  At the same time, we could smell something getting hot
(coincidence ??), so we stopped trying.  Under NT and Windows, his machine
continued to work fine.

The same disks work fine with my 386 33Mhz and IDE drive.  I also 
re-downloaded the boot image and compared to the one we used; identical.

Help!!!
Would appreciate any ideas.

There should be instructions for this in the same directory that you found

A single-server is a traditional kernel has been modified to run as
a single process on top of a microkernel.  This goes against the design

environment.

What the h*ll do you mean "fishy"?  You make it sound like it is some
underhanded deal.  The GNU Hurd is based upon Mach 3.0.  It is supposed
to be a group of cooperating servers providing services.  Yes, in the
long run it would be good to reduce the functionality of UNIX to a set
of well defined (and easily optimized) servers for different functions
but that takes time.  It is very *useful* to have the single-server
(i.e. a fully operational system) up and running while developing
those servers.

NET/2 has been called into question by USL [not AT&T].  If USL is successful
in its lawsuit then any programs based on NET/2 may require a USL UNIX source
license.  [If you want to discuss this use the newsgroup alt.suit.att-bsdi]

The goal of the GNU project is a freely redistributable UNIX compatible
operating system.  Thus using NET/2 code at this time would be dangerous.

Linux did not start with the NET/2 base and therefore has a lower risk of
becoming entrapped.

Free software [Linux] helping free software [GNU] is a wonderful idea.
Just look at the compiler and many of the tools that Linux use [GNU].

Good Luck Roland!  Go FSF!

I had no problems compiling the 0.97 kernel with gcc 2.1 and a 0.95c
kernel.

The subsequent attempt to upgrade to gcc2.2.2d (skipping gcc2.11, and
every other gcc2.2), however, was header hell.

On the other hand, the precompiled kernel ought to be available at an
ftp site near you.

The install-2.2.2d doesn't say that you need to say /foo/src/linux.  It
says that in the example it gave, /foo/src/linux is the directory where
the kernel source code is located.  This is usually /usr/src/linux for
most people (the recommended place).  If you don't have the kernel
source code, get it, as the release-2.2.2d clearly says.

I think what we really need (for the DOS emulator but on other grounds
as well) is fully indepent VC's that utilize all of the features of
the video card installed.  This means that one VC can be in graphics
mode, another in 25x80 mode, another in 43x123 (or whatever), etc.
The code for storing and restoring the entire state of a VGA (SVGA?)
card is available from CMU.  

Surely this is the way to do.  Then the DOS emulator could do what it
liked with the display (as DOS programs do), another VC could be
running X, and root could still be logged in on a text terminal.

Hi,

   Just recently gotten back into Linux (am running 0.95c+ currently) and
wanted to upgrade to the most recent version.  Downloaded the boot image
for 0.97 from tsx-11, but when it boots it "hangs" on the SCSI part.  My
machine has 2 IDE drives and one SCSI tape drive.  It senses the tape drive,
as a host, and then seems to hang.  Read in the FAQ that this might happen,
but I have never come out of it.  Does anyone have a boot image w/o the
SCSI code compiled into it?  Tryed compiling the new code, but gave up after
to many configuration errors (make depend + .s.S not working with pmake).

   Also, noticed a few posts about a MSDOS filesystem.  Can someone forward
me some info on this?  Noticed the usual Mtools info. in the FAQ, but haven't
seen anything pertaining to a filesystem.  Thanks!

Thanks to all who replied (personally as well).  As far as "\" doing

During the installation script linux says to make a partition.  It

for the last cly (says "enter last cyl or +size +sizeM +sizeK
(1-820)") and I tell it 820.  It says "Warning: partition 1 has an odd
number of sectors".  It says this no matter what I put for the last
cyl.  What can this be?

Subject: ET4000 v. 8514/A X server speed comparison
Date: 28 Aug 92 13:50:07 GMT


I've received several requests for speed comparisons between the 8514/A
and other graphics cards (ET4000, ET4000 localbus, S3, and S3 localbus).
The S3 cards are not currently supported, but I've heard rumors that some
people are trying to get them to work (if anyone can confirm/deny this,
please let me know).  Thus, comparisons between the S3 and 8514/A are not
possible at this time, but ET4000 comparisons are possible.

I can borrow a friends ET4000 (not a local bus), and run some comparisons,
but the problem is that I would need to have the correct Clocks and ModeDB
for my system.  The card I would borrow is a Diamond Speedstar+, and the
monitor I have is the Gateway 15".  If anyone has the setup, please e-mail
me your Xconfig, so that I can run some tests.

I'll post results once I run the tests.

Thanks,
Kevin
