Hello Netland!
	I would like to know how to setup bootmanager (that came with os2) so
that it can boot any of the 3 OS's that I have.

	Dos and OS2 already boot nicely, but I need to know how to set it up
for linux.

	Also - Is there an os2:fsfilter for linux ?  (or vice-versa??)

Please reply via e-mail only:  I cannot read all of this group all of the
time.
	I can be reached at:

		djohnson@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu

Thank you,
Dennis 

ps: I know quite a bit about os2, dos, and being a unix-user.  No flames
please.

Organization: Bell-Northern Research, Richardson, Tx.

I retreived 0.98 and tried it out, and it failed when I started X.
It turns out the failure to detect a MS busmouse turned off the
logitech busmouse.  The following is a quick hack to fix it.  I
could not think of a more elegant way without changing the include
file.  Apply this patch in linux/kernel/chr_drv.

Hello people..

I've just one question... So let's begin with my configuration:

i got mcc-interim version linux 0.97 pl2.. and upgraded from there to
kernel 0.97 pl6. After doing this i upgraded my ps utilities...
and everything worked fine.

Now i got x11 2.0 and installed it like the announce file told...
then i typed ./xmkmf in dir /usr/X386/lib/X11 and it told me:

                 /lib/libc.so.4      --  not found....

when i type startx the same error message appears.

i got a look in /lib... there's a file called  libc.so.2.2 ...

So i think this is a compiler shared library -- is this right ?

And, if so... is mine older or newer than .4 version ????

And, last but not least, where can i get a version of this *right*
version to run x11 on my machine.... or must i get a fully new compiler 
distribution??????

Thanks in advance , Jorge

You are definitely using an older version of linux - try upgrading to
either 0.97.pl6 or 0.98 (which will probably need the mouse-patch that
was posted a day or two ago).  The Stack overflow message is part of an
older kernel (0.96c? something like that), and was fixed in 0.97. 

Note that 0.96c (which at least the current version of SLS seems to be
based on) was a pretty stable release - but it is a bit old...  Keeping
up with the absolutely newest versions of linux may not be very safe,
but there are problems with keeping to old kernel versions too.  After
all, I don't make new releases *just* to annoy people.

Hello.

Anyone have a solution to this?  Is there another printing program

Hi.  I want to connect a number of dumb terminals to my linux box.
Without having seen anything to the contrary mentioned in c.o.l
I am assuming that I need an AST Fourport board for this.  I have
two questions:

Are there any other boards that are compatible with the AST Fourport?

What should an AST Fourport set me back.  I have found them here in
Vancouver for CAN $595 (around US $475).  They call it an
AST Fourport/AT Plus.  Is that what I want?  I heard that the
cards were cheap ($600 seems a bit much for a few UARTS).  I
have also found a board called a Bocaboard/4 for $239.  They
are from Boca Research (never heard of them).  That sounds more
like it, but will it run with Linux?

As allways, many thanks in advance.  (Maybe I should send a Bacaboard 
to Ted from Christmas?)

Is anyone out there having trouble porting the X11 contrib stuff?  I think
that so far the things that did work were xantfarm, xdaliclock, and
unclutter.  I have tried vtwm, ctwm, xfishtank, olvwm, p3d and more.
Could this be a problem with kludgy source (the contrib stuff) or a

Wouldn't it be reasonable to cut number of cards. I think it is suffient to
group similiar applications to ONE card like:

	1) Network card running ether, 
	 	RS485  synchronous and asynchronous and/or RS322
	2) Mass storage IO : Floppy (ST506/412), IDE and SCSI
	3) Videocard[s].

What's expensive are not the actual controllers, but their support chips.

A reasonable network card for a multitasking system needs a kind of 
micro controller anyway. Servicing RS485/RS323 is  virtual free .

Same applies for mass storage I/O.

Date: 4 Oct 92 20:03:32 GMT
Article-I.D.: pdxgate.6177

I am at a stopping point now with work on _fully_ networking a linux
box.  Problems are as follows:
telnet related problems:
  -login is broke, and I am still unable to get the poeigl package
   to work (atleast the 1.6 package)

ftp related problems:
  -ftp (in our out from linux) is broke
    -ftp in:
      -I get simply nothing when I ftp to linux box
       (yes, I got ftpd, read docs, updated services.. etc)
    -ftp out:
      -the same problem as when I telnet in to linux (after prompt
       for password, echo is off and does not return)

Now, I know that with the ftp out and telnet in that the main problem
there is a broken getpass() in the gcc library.  I have gcc2.2.2d and 
tried (failing miserably) to install the new 4.1 libs.  
QUESTION 1:  is there a new release of gcc that includes these libraries?

I tried to recompile the ftpd package (it requires the 4.1 libs) and this 
obviously would not work either (old libs).

So, the question stands:  Is there a new release of gcc that utilizes these
libraries?

BTW: system configuration:
386dx-16
8M RAM
ESDI contoller, 300M hd

Note that QIC-36 is the *low-level* interface between the controller and the
tape drive, e.g. an Archive 5945. QIC-02 is a *low-level* interface too
(although a little bit smarter), the Archive Viper 2060L and 2150L use it,
but is a *command* interface (to give commands to the tape drive) as well.
This is somewhat confusing but as long as your controller understands the
QIC-02 commands it doesn't matter how your tape drive is interfaced
physically.

Since both the Archive SC499, having a QIC-36 low-level interface, and
SC402 (or VP402), having a QIC-02 low-level interface, controller cards are
supported by the device driver from Hennus Bergman this means that tape
drives having a QIC-36 or QIC-02 *low-level* interface can be used with
Linux. I don't know what kind of low-level interface the Wangtek/Everex
cards have but I don't expect this to be anything else than QIC-02 or QIC-36.
Yes, this QIC-XX stuff sometimes really gets confusing :-)

This is probably your problem.  The bus mice generally use interrupt 5.
Therefore, when you enabled your bus mouse interrupt, it probably disabled
your hard disk controller interrupt.  Remember, you can't have two things
on the same interrupt in a PC.  Also, it probably works OK under mess-dos
since the ST-02 DOS drivers don't use interrupts.

I know I shouldn't, but...

I don't think so, because a split-up would probably just mean that
people would cross-post to several groups in order to get more
sighting. After all that's what's happening in other sub-trees,
and I don't find it very managable.

If you intend to read all the groups and handle crosspostings, then
why split up??? (No fl*mes intended :-)

   As far as I have heard USL is going to charge 300$ for "Destiny" and
   that is advertizing+coding+debugging+media+... you name it.

Well there is nothing stopping anybody from distributing it less
expensively, is there?  So, nobody is going to get *rich* on this :--)

What good is a standard directory structure if anybody can just walk
in and say "Ah, I see we have a standard describing the directory
structure. Could we have another one, please?"

No wonder the standards mailing list has died out...
