   YES!  If your university supports SLIP, just get ka9q from tsx-11 and
   follow the instructions.  I run remote X11 using a 14.4kbps v.32bis
   modem.  The data compression really seems to help with remote X.

And if your university does not support slip, get term from
tartarus.uwa.edu.au:/pub/oriellym/term*  (Probably not exactly the
right pathname, but close enough to get you there).

25MHz and 28MHz, or if he wants the server to take advantage of the accelerated

hello,
I have some questions about EMACS and key-bindings:
 
1) how can I assign the higher F-keys to functions? EMACS seems
   to accept only sequences up to four characters. I have no problems
   to assign F1 - F5, but F6 - F10 send ESCAPE, square bracket, two
   digits and a tilde. EMACS seems not recognize that the tilde
   belongs to the key sequence.
 
2) In text mode, the backspace key deletes a character to the left,
   whereas in X, it invokes HELP. The DEL key deletes a character to
   the left. (in text mode: to the right)
   How can I change this? (I want to change the assignments in X)
 
I hope there is some EMACS / X expert? :-)

Date: 15 Dec 92 16:33:05 GMT

I have used uuencode and uudecode on SUN computers before. But when I
took a look at the versions on linux, I get the following situation:
1) /usr/bin/uu{en,de}code are the same file. I checked using cmp.
2) When I try to use uuencode, I get error messages consistend with uudecode.
Errors included, "No begin line" "No end line" ... Typical stuff if you are
indeed trying to use uudecode, but I was using uuencode.
Is there a problem with my understanding of uuencode or are they indeed the
same file and I need some switches to make it work correctly?
The manual page in Linux only mentions the algorithm and file layout for
a uuencoded file but not any command line options.
Is there a place where I can get a version of uuencode? I find that I can't
transfer files from my SUN to my PC without using uuencode/uudecode. Binary
kermit doesn't work for TAR files (compressed).
Thanks,

Are you using COM1? If yes, then COM1 and COM3 probably use the same IRQ. That`s
not working on a standard PC platform. You have to patch the kernel source AND
make different modifications to your hardware (adding a few diodes and
resistors). Or you have to setup your serial cards to use different interrupts.
Nevertheless you have to patch the kernel anyway.

Or is it just that you forgot to attach the DCD pin? The serial driver may
get a false signal on that pin and send a SIGHUP to getty, which then aborts.

Hope this helps. gero.

Well, I just spent 4-5 hours reading through digests from the last 3-4 days,
and I must say that I agree that there is too much traffic on this group.
The solution is not to split, however, but to make sure that you (we) post
accordingly, X questions to c.w.x, gnu questions to the gnu newsgroup,
etc.  Also, makeing sure that your posts are pertinent or neccessary
helps.  (I know that this is off topic, but I do have relevant info
later in this post.)

Another way to save on the number of posts is to take the discussion
of what is relevant to e-mail, as well as flameing via e-mail.
Also, watching those follow-up to: lines.  ;)

Well, enough babbling... down to business.

Can you believe that I have to use DOS ONLY to use uupc?  I can't get the
latest UUCP sources from sunsite to compile.  :(  I used the new ftpmail
server at sunsite, but it is broken.  It sent over a hundred copies of the
uuencoded sources to uucp.  My uucp feed is upset, but it would take an
act of GOD or Congress to get them(ATT) to delete the spool files.
(Fortunately, after five days, they will expire there.  ;))  I let uupc
run for a day and a half(@2400) before I pulled the plug(ran out of disk space
on a drive with 40 MB free).
Anyway, from this account, the ftpmail doesn't even work. !!  ;)
This is just a note for JEM@sunsite that the address ftpkeeper doesn't
work.(well, I was ignored!)
BTW, I am still at .98.0 with X1.1, and happy mostly!
BUT, it is a shame that I have to spend so much time keeping up with Linux
on the group, that I have no time left to Linux!!!

Probably yes (see below).

I suppose that you forgot to say lilo about the disk on which the root file
system is located. As is obvious from the lilo output you attached to your
posting the kernel tries to mount the root file system according to the
disk device number compiled into it or setup by lilo, which fails because there
is no LINUX partition (default is part.2 which is swap on your system). The
following is a copy of my lilo-install script to show how to tell lilo about
the root disk:

#/bin/sh
cd /etc/lilo
[...]
/etc/lilo/lilo -b /dev/hda2 -c -d 5 -i /etc/lilo/boot.b $* \
	linux=/etc/lilo/Image,/dev/hda2 \
	old-linux=/etc/lilo/Image.backup,/dev/hda2 \
	msdos=/etc/lilo/chain.b+/dev/hda1@/dev/hda

My Linux root partition is on /dev/hda2 and the DOS partition is on /dev/hda1.
I boot directly from the hard disk with a self-written boot utility in the MBR
so I setup lilo to install the lilo-boot block into /dev/hda2. Skip this if you
want another boot policy. The important line is the one starting with "linux="
which sets the active linux image and root disk.

Hope this helps. gero.

Not needed. To have your additions to /etc/inittab take effect you
can also issue the command 
	kill -1 1
This will send the HUP signal to the init process, which will
then re-read /etc/inittab. (you have to be root to do this).

I think you'll find that kermit is changing the baud rate on the
serial port into which your mouse is plugged in to.  kermit does this
even if you use the command line switch to indicate the proper
serial port for kermit.  I have not investigated whether there
is a deeper configuration file that can control this.

Try this, assuming your mouse is attached to ttys1

% stty < /dev/ttys1
% kermit
...
^Z
% stty < /dev/ttys1  # just to see what the story is
% stty 1200 < /dev/ttys1 # assuming your mouse runs at 1200

If you're using a version of LILO older than 0.7, upgrading to 0.7
will probably solve your problem. There are is an incompatibility
between 0.98pl6 and possibly also SLS 0.98pl5 and LILO <= 0.6 that
may cause strange kernel crashes and funny video mode selections.
