Subject: How to make a bootable Linux floppy

Here's a script I hacked to make a bootable floppy.  It requires lilo 0.7,
as well as the new mount (0.97) and init (the one that will do singleuser
mode).  Have fun, kids... :)

Enclosed is a simple patch to get the dos emulator working again.
It had been broken since the 'writable-strings' kernel change in
0.98p5 due to segmentation fault in boot(). Lotus 1-2-3 is now working
on my system, but the necessary patches are not really ready for 
public consumption... I'm having a hard time getting information
on the *correct* response to various inb() and outb() calls.

ok, thanks once more the helpfull advice. After examining the responces of my
last post, it seems this may be a mouse problem.

1) This is a B29-Mouse from Taiwan and some of the specs are as follows:
    1200 Baud
    2/3 button mode selection
    Microsoft and PC mouse compatible
2) Even after considerable experimenting with the different mouse settings in
   Xconfig, the server (Xfree86 1.0YA/SLS.98pl5) won't take respond to the
   mouse. The same things, i.e., xclock and then the bash icon and the xterm
   frame. When the frame happens, the server stops.
3) My mouse is on ttys2, modem on ttys1 as stated in Xconfig.

Has anyone out there had any similar experiences with this mouse or know of the
fix for this problem? (Maybe it would be a lot less headache to buy a mouse
named in Xconfig).

thanks,

My 486DX/50 also with 8Mb RAM completed the same compilation in only

   I had the same problem, but there's a command called 'useradd' which
   seems to perform an identical function, and has a man page to boot.

adduser is in in the Fixes-directory/disk. Be careful: you have to install
a[1-5], then Fixes/zafix.taz, then b[1-8], then Fixes/zbfix.taz...

The reason is: the b-set installs the shadow password suite, the a-fix
fixes the original (non shadow) /bin/passwd by installing a new one.
If you install all fixes after having installed [a-x], you get a login
that looks up your password in /etc/shadow, and a /bin/passwd that changes
it in /etc/passwd.

[other stuff deleted]

The solution seems to be much simpler - the last command in .xinitrc
should ALWAYS be a foreground task. Removing the '&' after twm should
keep your session alive. Anyway, olwm (or olvwm) might be a better
choice (IMHO, it is).

Besides that, $HOME/.xinitrc is a *replacement* for
/usr/X386/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc (right path?) and should have the same
functionality - e.g. load $HOME/.Xdefaults, start the window manager
and/or an xterm etc.; just copy the system xinitrc to $HOME and modify
it but don't create your own one from scratch if you don't know
*exactly* what you're doing. Doing so should also solve your font
problems, I think.

BTW IMHO these questions definitely belong to comp.windows.x.i386unix
(not a flame, just a hint).

Yep, tcsh is the only csh available for linux

Nope.  Get the latest version (0.7) and print out and read the docs.  It is
not hard to figure out with just the brief instructions and some
experimentation, but now that the full instructions are available in
PostScript form, there is no need to flail about....

I've been trying to receive mail with the Linux port of ka9q (from
tsx-11 I think), and so far I've been unable to.  I've got the spool
and mail queue directories set up properly AFAIK, but the remote mail
client reports an error '452 can't open temp-file'.  I traced back
thru the code in smtpserv.c, and put a few printf's in there, and
eventually tracked the problem to the routine where the incoming mail
is processed.  It's at this point that the error occurs.

So my question is, where should the 'temp-file' be?  Should I have
the NETHOME environment variable set?  At the moment it's not set,
and I'm running net from /home/root.  Is this the problem?  i.e. is
the application trying to create a temporary file in a directory to
which it doesn't have permission?  If this is the case, what should
the NETHOME environment variable be set to?

Thanks,

Alan.

I have two IDE hard drives, but linux's fdisk doesn't show any information

fdisk only shows DOS and Boot Manager under the partition list.
anyone have any ideas as to why? I'm clueless, as usual.

I'm not a Linux user.

I understand from Emmet Gray there is a Linux version which uses links, instead of lots of
programs...

Where can I find it from?

Linus recently posted that a number of 0.99.2 compile problems were caused
by bad include files.  I would just like to say that a number of people have
asked me for assistance compiling some code (not kernel) and the fault has
often laid with strange files in the linux include files from SLS releases
(Old ones Peter!)  Please make sure that all the files in
x/y/linux/src/include are from the latest kernel release and there is a
symlink from /usr/include/linux to x/y/src/linux/include/linux.  And from
/usr/include/asm to x/y/src/linux/include/asm

Hope this helps
