I have a 486-33 running 0.99 right now. I could have sworn I didn't compile 
in the FPU support. I will try recompiling and get back to everyone about
this. Otherwise the kernel runs fine and I have had no problems.

Summary: Help me get it to work.
Date: 17 Dec 92 05:12:04 GMT
Organization: University of Pittsbrurgh

I have been enjoying linux greatly, having fun watching things progress. We
recently received a new gateway ATI PRO 66Mhz machine, which I immediately blew
away the disk and installed a linux partition.

I installed the sls distribution and updated to 0.99.  Has anyone taken
this configuration and gotten any of the tcpip stuff to work with an SMC card?

I just got and read the new NET FAQ for 0.99 and still can't get anything
to work.  During bootup I get the syntax for /usr/etc/inet/config displayed
twice during boot up.  I am fairly sure I answered all the 
/usr/etc/inet/install.inet problems appropiately.  I know that the IRQ and I/O
address's are right, (IRQ 5 And i/o 280) becuase dos uses them and works.
Also the memory address were right stock (D0000).

One other strange thing is when I soft boot into dos, the tcpip there doesn't
work, but if I hard boot into dos it does.  (this is reliable).  Seems that
linux is locking up the ELITE SMC 16 card somehow.

Any ideas appreciated, all commands come back with network is unreachable.

Please reply to address below or POST.

Summary: How to connect Novell networks of 286s to linux/386bsd servers
Date: 16 Dec 92 12:27:56 GMT
Organization: Centre de Recherche Informatique de Montreal

Hi:

I sent linux to friends of mine in Romania. linux on 386s runs fine,
thank you, but they have the following difficulty: most of their PCs are
tied up in Novell Netware networks and those PCs, except for the
servers, are 286s (which cannot run linux/386bsd).

They would like to have linux/386bsd on the server and have dumb terminal
windows (for emacs or vi for example) or even X windows on the 286
slaves. Of course the point is to have access to the rich Unix
programmming environment available on linux/386bsd.
I have to mention there are several (not just one) 286s connected to a 386
server. In Romania, there are hundreds of 286 running just dos/windows,
and I'd like to change that...

I wonder if any of you has any experience in this area? I would
appreciate learning first of all about public domain tools, but if that
is not possible,...

I'd like to mention that Philip Copeland (Sys Admin)
<p_copela@csd.uwe-bristol.ac.uk>, the resident linux  comm guru, has
informed me about the existence of a package from CDC, called 


        Vista-eXceed from control data

        described as an X Window Server

which allows one to open X windows on the slaves running Windows. But I
would not mind at all having acces to some other experiences and
preferably referring to public domain stuff..

The network cards seem to be ne1000/2000, if this makes any difference
(I intend to suggest them to use the drivers by D. Becker on the
server).

Please mail or post.

Cheers and thanks,

I have just tunred on NFS and rebuilt the kernel.

Mounted an NFS file system from a SUN and lo and behold it works great

I do a cd and have a look around and all is fine. Do a dd and about
half way through I get could not do paging request and before I can
read the rest the machine cold boots.

I am using the 3c503 drivers, but they seem to work great using telnet/ftp
but with NFS up and running bang. This seems to be quite repeatable,
but the timing and exact behaviour vary. Except that the machine always
cold boots.

Any one got any bright ideas before I dive into the kernel, or sink inside the
kernel.

Has anyone written a version of ps that uses the proc file system?  I
couldn't get my old version of ps to work with linux 0.99, so I wrote
my own ps program.  It uses the proc file system, so it should work
with any version of the kernel which includes this file system.  There
are a few major disadvantages of my program.  Because I wrote it in a
hurry, the output is kind of non-standard and there are only 3 options
(a, u and x).  I may fix it later if there is any interest.  There
were a few fields that I couldn't figure out how to get out of the
proc system.  These fields include MEM%, CPU%, MEM% and TIME.  I also
don't do nearly as much error checking as I should.  All that aside,
it does just about everything I need it to.  So here is the code

I would say if it isn't broken, don't worry about it.  If you are having
problems, someone recently posted echo.c; also, I think that an echo program
was ported (from SYSV?) and is probably available on one of the Linux ftp
sites.

All work now with linux, the original development was done on an Acitix s3
P86c911, but Actix did a swap for a s3 P86c801 which I now use.  the 801/805
will be by far the fastest they also support 2MB of video ram, so when the
support is added will be able to make use of a bigger cache and possibly
larger screen resolutions.  I've had one report of problems with a 805 local
bus card, but I don't know if this was a one off. If you buy an Actix card,
the company is being very helpfull and I'd expect that any problems can be
sorted out.  Actix will be releaseing a 928 based card early next year, this
should be much faster than even the 801 based cards.

Well, having seen Jon's card in operation (and an Iris Entry/4000),
the Iris hammers the S3 into the ground in interactive performance...
The moral of this story is:  xbench is not a good benchmark test :-)
Believe me, the S3 card is nowhere near the speed of a Silicon Graphics

I'm running SLS .98p5.  Everything works OK when I run xdm -nodaemon

I then tried xdm -nodaemon at the bottom of rc.local.  I first
commented out the first getty in /etc/inittab.  After rebooting,
the xlogin window comes up, and I log in as root.  Cool.

Then my .xsession executes, setting the color of the root window
putting up xclock, putting up two xter... WAIT... WHERE ARE MY TWO
XTERMS?  So I try the Xterm selection in the twm menu.  Nothing.

Later, I check my .xsession-errors file, and it looks like I have a
line for each failed attempt to start an xterm.  The line reads:

    Xterm: Error 19, error 14: no such device.

(I'm away from home, so this is from memory.  I'm quite sure those
are the error numbers.)

Somebody out there must have xdm up and running from rc, rc.local,
or wherever.  I'd appreciate if you could fill me in on what you
had to do to set things up.  Thanks in advance.

mkfs only makes Minix filesystems, but the limit is 64 megabytes.
In order to make larger filesystems, repartition your hard drive and make
the large partition type 83 which is Linux extended filesystem, and then
use mkefs to create your filesystem.

Better to use LILO rather than Shoelace.  Shoelace was designed mainly
for Minix, and I'm told it will only work with Minix filesystems.
LILO does a bang-up good job of what I want it to do, plus it can boot
other operating systems, not just Linux or DOS.

Good luck and welcome to the fold!

Sun's East Coast Group provides the PCNFSD daemon in source form that should
be available at bmc.tmc.edu.  I believe that the latest release that Geoff,
Sun's Engineer, released was pcnfsd.92.11.05.tar.Z.  If you have problems
getting one that should compile and work, let me know and I'll try to get
it to you.
