Every comm program I've seen that supports speeds higher than 38400 
will usually support 57600 and 115200... I don't know where the 56000
spec came from, but I suspect that it is incorrect.

MY modem specifies supporting 1200,2400,4800,7200,9600,12000, and 14400
raw speeds with DTR rates of the above with 19200,38400, and 57600 added.

Summary: postscript TeX transfig fig2ps2tex fig2dev psbb



In the Linux man-pages it mentions a program "psbb" to extract the 
%%BoundingBox of a postscript file.

Has anyone got the binaries or knows where I can find the binaries?
-- or the sources?

On Suns, there is a "desk-calculator"  called "dc". Has anyone ported it to 
Linux? If so, where can I get the binaries from, and if not, has someone got 
the sources?

(I am trying to use transfig, tex and xfig. In order to leave enought space in
a TeX file, I need to know the size of a postscript picture. To avoid 
calculating the dimentions by hand, I would like to use fig2ps2tex, which in
return uses "dc" - which I don't have!)

Any help (real help!) is greatly appreciated.

Hi guys.
Being new to Linux - I am having a couple of problems.
I have just recompiled tcpip into the kernel (I am using the SLS distribution)
and now when I reboot I get the following errors for the 3 config commands
in rc.net.
     socket: protocol not supported

The first two use loopback and the third uses eth0.
I don't understand this because the kernel compiled ok.
I have a WD8003 card in the PC and it is connected to the network.
I also have its IP address, router address etc. - these are all fine.
Can anyone help me?

thanks

Subject: Problem with sysinstall seeing diska4 during install
Organization: Unisys Corporation SLC
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 1992 05:51:22 GMT

While attempting to install the SLS 0.98 version of linux I have
run into a problem loading disk a4 which displays as follows:

error: you may have inserted the wrong disk, try again (y/n)?

I go through the retry attempts with no resolution.
I downloaded the SLS version from tsx-11.mit.edu in binary mode
on 02 November.  The a1 and a2 disks were copied to diskette via
rawrite, and a3, a4 were put onto diskettes via the dos copy
command.  I did this from a unix file system mounted via PC-NFS
to my pc.  The error occurs after "diska3" has loaded, when attempting
to load "diska4".  I have set up my second disk, /dev/hdb, with the
first partition being a linux swap partition of 8 megs.  The second
partition, /dev/hdb2, occupies the remainder, approx. 62 megs,
of the drive.  I have tried to use both a linux/minux type and now
an extended linux type 83.  In viewing the sysinstall script that
is called by the doinstall script, I can see that for whatever reason
the file "diska4" on the disk is not being seen.  When I break out of the
install and manually mount the disk "mount -r -t msdos /dev/fd0h1200 /tmp2"
and view the contents, I not only see the file, but can also cat its
contents.  My questions to the community are, has this problem been seen
before, and if so what resolution(s) if any is there to apply against
the problem?

Thanks in advance for your help with on this install problem.

No.

Using the harddisk with MCA is different than using it with ISA, and
it seems that there is no documentation available on how it is done.
Which means that people with MCA machines who wish to use Linux

   No it is not.  You will have to recompile the kernel.  There is a readme
(README?) in /usr/src/linux that may help you to get started - this is the
stage that i'm presently at - but there are some other changes that also
have to be made.  You should also get the source for the tcpip stuff and
I know of at least one change that had to be made to config.c there may
be others ... I'll find out when (or if) I actually get the tcp working!

	Oh yeah.  One especially important file is in /usr/src/linux/net and is
called Space.c.  Here you can set the settings for your ethernet card (irq,
io address, memory ...).  I wish you luck.

One thing is that the maxtor is a new drive design, and may not

ReHi,

as X uses another model for getting the values for the keys it is not
enough to compile the kernel for a German keyboard.
After trying some time (including compiling and using xkeycaps - a nice
tool to fiddle around with the keyboard settings, available from 
export.lcs.mit.edu:/contrib) we finally got a working modifier map
for X with a German keyboard. As it consists of only 54 lines I include
it here. Put in in a file and load it with 'xmodmap <file>'

I hope this helps

I haven't tried 0.98 yet, but I'm surprised at the reports of problems
with 0.98pl4 caused by increasing the number of open files.  The
select interface was designed so that you could increase the number of
open files without messing up old programs.  That's why select takes
the number of file descriptions as an argument.  Even if the kernel
now supports 256 files, if a program calls select with 32 or less, why
doesn't it behave in the old way?  If such programs really break, it's
going to cause all kinds of compatibility problems.  Is it really
necessary?

Here's the rub, however. 

Using segments (as Intel hoped they'd be used) results in an OS which is
slower and bigger.  They add significant complexity which is (realisticaly)
not needed (or desired).  You really only _need_ them on a i{3,4}86 if
you want to have a 48-bit address space, as opposed to a 32-bit.  And
since 2^32 = 4gigabytes...even being really optimistic about the future
of desktop computers, 4GB is probably too much to think about exeeding
in the (relatively) near future.

Hi;

I just decided to remove my Linux partition for the time being till I get
a better machine or bigger harddisk. Well when I repartitioned my harddisk,
reformatted it then rebooted I noticed that shoelace is still on it.
ie. it would display the partition table. Well my question is how do I get
rid of it. It's a bit annoying since there's only one partition to boot from.
It wouldn't be too bad if it defaulted to booting partition 1 but apparently
by using edpart, partition 1 becomes 3 and 2 becomes 4 so now partition 3
is the default but it doesn't exist.

Subject: WYSIWIG available !

  Not to many realize this, but there is a WYSIWIG word processor available.
Get Roger Scott's patches for InterViews 3.0.1, get the 3.0.1 sources and use
the alpha gcc 2.3 (or 2.3 when it is out soon).  It works. If there is enough
interest, I can upload mine.
   This is an older version of InterViews. The newest one is IV3.1beta3.  It
also compiles, (almost out of the box), but there is a small bug in doc that
keeps it from working. (Any C++ experts out there?)

Salute,

a couple of days ago i compiled xtex. It was said to be better than xdvi,
but everytime I start it, it first tries to build some fonts and than
hangs up the hole system (not nice without a second terminal to get him
back :-( ).
 
xdvi instead works very fine. O.K., i also had to compile it new after
installing .98, before I got floating point execptions.

back to xtex, has anyone any ideas ?
 
        Chris

	I've been working with 0.98pl4, and I've managed to get the
kernal to detect that there *is* and ethernet card out there, but it
insists that the card is a wd8013 when in fact it's a wd8003.

	I've been told that there's a way to force it, but I don't know
how.

	Any ideas?
