Reports of uucico hanging seem similar to problems I've seen, although
mine are with a PC-direct-to-Linux w/null modem cable.

When I call Linux from UUPC, the g protocol works just fine to send
stuff into the Linux work, but it doesn't seem to reverse from Master
to Slave correctly, so anything queued under Linux stays there.

It may be the version of UUPC, so I'm going to try Waffle next.
Anyone with experience or interests in making DOS PCs talk to Linux
when direct connected....pls post or e-mail me.

I really doubt its a bug in cpp or anywhere in the compiler for that matter.
You didn't say which compiler you were using, or if you have updated your
binutils lately. I believe this can occur by having an older version of
the assembler. I compiled gzip-0.8.1 yesterday with absolutely no problems.

You can grab a new version of the binutils from tsx-11.mit.edu in the 
/pub/linux/GCC directory.

Change that to /dev/ttyS0 (capital "S"). I think they changed this in .99p2.
After that, it's a matter of some tweking to get your display to look right.

Steve is right about the fix but wrong about the reason. Using gcc -v
will show that the -lm does get passed through to the linker.

Specifying -lm is exactly the same as writing /usr/lib/libm.a at that
place on the command line. However linking with a library only
extracts those parts of the library which supply definitions for
symbols which have been used but not yet defined. _sqrt hasn't been
used yet, as it is in test_sqrt.c (ie cca001331.o in the quote above)
which the linker hasn't seen at that point.

Hi All!

I just added a 2nd ST296N to my configuration:

- ST-01 jimpered to zero waitstates
- 2*ST296N / sda1 == sdb1 == one primary partition
  formatted with interleave 2
- 386dx-25

After booting, mkefs-ing and mounting sdb1 to /user, I tried

   (cwd==/user)  tar clpf - / | tar xvpf -

Some minutes of work on both drive result in a coldboot (yes, with
memory check)...

This happens with kernel 0.99.2...

First it happened with sda being formatted with interleave 2 and sdb
with interleave 1. Since it failed, I formatted sdb using interleave
2...

Any ideas, what's going wrong ?

Bye,

Ok, my *OTHER* problem is getting the networking to work correctly.
I've gotten as far as having my loopback work.  It fails in the named

Also, even though my machine is defined in /etc/hosts (which is a link
from /etc/inet/hosts) and the file is world-readable, I can't refer to
it as "wefunk", only as 128.0.0.1?

So, can anyone explain what I need to do to allow these two to talk
together via telnet?  I'd be using the advanced telnet package for the
PC, by the by, on my other box.

It should be safe now.

When the compiler and libraries are upgraded like they just were,
the ripple effect bounces from one end of SLS to the other. 
Even the RAMDISK has to be upgraded to the new library.
Plus, many things broke and had to be recompiled.

Add to this the gzip upgrade.

Anyways, usually a week or two after the upgrade, it is pretty safe.
But it is a catch 22.  The longer you wait, the more refined it becomes,
but also the more out of date it gets.

I think what you want can be done directly from C.

Sample code (mostly stolen from the kernel):

#define SLOW_DOWN_IO __asm__ __volatile__("jmp 1f\n1:\tjmp 1f\n1:")

...

if (iopl(3)) {
    fprintf(stderr,"%s: iopl failed (must be root!)\n",argv[0]);
    exit(1);
}

...

void inline outb_p(char value, unsigned short port)
{
__asm__ __volatile__ ("outb %%al,%%dx"
                ::"a" ((char) value),"d" ((unsigned short) port));
        SLOW_DOWN_IO;
}

void inline outw_p(char value, unsigned short port)
{
__asm__ __volatile__ ("outw %%ax,%%dx"
                ::"a" (value),"d" ((unsigned short) port));
        SLOW_DOWN_IO;
}

unsigned int inline inb_p(unsigned short port)
{
        unsigned int _v;
__asm__ __volatile__ ("inb %%dx,%%al"
                :"=a" (_v):"d" ((unsigned short) port),"0" (0));
        SLOW_DOWN_IO;
        return _v;
}

unsigned int inline inw_p(unsigned short port)
{
        unsigned int _v;
__asm__ __volatile__ ("inw %%dx,%%ax"
                :"=a" (_v):"d" ((unsigned short) port),"0" (0));
        SLOW_DOWN_IO;

}

I noticed that there is not very simple to have the classical Unix 
passwd field when using SLS. Indeed, if one installs shadow package
he has shadow passwords (which I don't need), and if one doesn't 
install it no /etc/passwd file is created.
 
Is it a general Linux choice, or it could be possible to split the
package... Security does not mean too much on a one-user system :-)

Hello,

I would once like to speak up with a suggestion on how somebody else should
do something (never thought I would :-)

It's this:
I want to encourage everyone who plans to upload any of his works to
ftp-sites to use a file system that is NOT the minix one. The reason is that
while names like "page-up-window" match the request "page-up-window.h" when
used on that fs, it is a nightmare for everybody using a fs with long names 
to rename all the files with truncated names.
I would strongly suggest that you use efs or maybe xfs, because the problem
is not given the other way round - a long filename untarred into a minix-fs
will be shortened and still matched.

Thanks to everybody who did a great job so far. This
  is not meant as criticism, but as a suggestion. And
  yes, I did rename everything several times, but I
  just think it isn't necessary that hundreds if not
  thousands of people do this...

Bernie

There will be no xiafx (xfs in short) patch against linux 0.99.4
because l99.3-x6.tar.Z works with linux 0.99.4.
For those who have applied l99.3-x6.tar.Z to 0.99.3, you can upgrade
to 0.99.4 by apply Linus' linux-0.99.patch4.Z.
The upgrade is strongly recommanded. The bugs in 0.99.3 crouch 
my system when compress is run, and dump core when gcc is invoked.
both compress and gcc work nicely under 0.99.2 or 0.99.4 with
xfs build in.

These is a buf in xfsck in l99.3-x6.tar.Z. Here is the fix.

No, it's not a known problem, and you haven't given enough details for
