Hi!

I've put X2.0 on my system, got the followings files:

xbin2.0.TZ#1-2
xfonts2.0.TZ#1-3
xprog2.0.TZ
xman2.0.TZ
xkit2.0.TZ

Reading the ANNOUNCEmsg, i have to uncompress & untar the files
in a subdirectory, but i've done them from the root / .

now starting X brought me this:

xinit: can't load library '/lib/libc.so.4'
No such library.

What's up, got I an incomplete archiv?

my /lib is like:

XawVen.so.2.0* libX11.1.1* libc.2.2.2* libhard.2.2.2*  libm.so.2.2*
XtVen.so.2.0* libX11.so.2.0*    libc.so.2@ libm.2.2.2* libsoft.2.2.2*
cpp@ libXaw.1.1* libc.so.2.2*   libm.so.2@,

right, theres no libc.so.4.
where can I get it?
The other thing happens extracting xkit2.0.TZ:
I've been prompted for another volume/disk to insert for
continuin extraction, but there is no other file/disk/volume!

Please help me  !   ;-)

	I would normally answer this in mail, but it seems to be a pretty
common question (I had the same problem, too).  Try recompiling config.
The source is available in one of the TCP/IP packages on one of the FTP
sites (but I can't remember where).  
	After I recompiled config, it worked fine (until the next time I
booted the computer, but that's another unrelated story).

By the way, will EFS2 support block clustering a la UFS?  I do like the

	Hi all;

   While trying to port MH (beacuse there is xmh & emacs supports it) I ran
into a couple of files that use _ptr & _cnt from the FILE struct. In the
stdio.h file, where FILE is defined) there are _gptr, _egptr, _pptr, and _epptr
but no _cnt entries. What do they do, and what/which should I use?? Also at
the end of the FILE definition it uses 

	struct streambuf *_chain;

  but I can't seem to find the definition for streambuf in any of the header
files. Other than that it looks like MH might compile rather smoothly.

  On the other hand, it someone elase has allready done the port, please tell
me.

Archie couldn't find XFree. (except for a symbolic link to X386) and
all the X386 that I could find is X386 1.2E, which doesn't mention
Trident support, and also mentiones that I should get patches for Linux,
which I couldn't find either.....

Any help appreciated....

While I think X under Linux is neat, and I use it all the time,
Xfree86 on an ET4000 does not have the sort of performance I think is
appropriate for a real X terminal.  I think you need a card with a
blitter (and which is supported by Xfree86), at the very least.  If
you want to recycle some existing hardware for use as as X terminals,
that's a fine idea.  But it's not a configuration I would do by

Organization: Sophomore, Math/Computer Science, Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh, PA


	I think there is a slight bug in kill. Doing kill -0 pid and kill -0
-pgrp never returns EPERM, even when it would were the signal non-zero
(i.e. for real, and not a test of sending a signal). I looked in the
kernel code and the code checks for signal zero, so perhaps it is
intentional (POSIX compatibility perhaps?). Should kill -0 pid or kill
-0 -pgrp return EPERM if you don't have the right to send the signal, or
should it return 0? (i.e. always return zero if the given pid/pgrp
exists.). It does return EPERM on Ultrix (running on a DECstation), and
on a Sun SPARC station and and IBM RT, so this seems fairly standard, at
least for BSD (which is what I know Ultrix is, and I am fairly sure the
other two are also).

	If this behaviour is indeed correct, and Linux is wrong here, the
following patch should fix it (it worked on my 0.97pl6, but it should
work on most, if not all, versions of the kernel).

The rapid changes in the compilers and libs are awkward enough since

Have you tried dos 5.0's fdisk /mbr?  That is what I ended up doing. ;)

Subject: Bug: MSDOS FS under .97p6

Try mounting any DOS partition, cd to the mounted drive, and then do a
du.  Whenever I do this I get a Kernel Panic: FAT error.

If this cannot be recreated by others, it started after I deleted two hidden
files (DOS attr Hidden and Archive) using rm under linux.  After that I did
a du, linux crashed, and on reboot, my hard drive wouldn't boot.  I use a
third-party hard drive security system, so I used it to restore my partition
sector, and then my drive would boot.  However, I still get the Kernel
Panic mentioned above.  The areas I question are the deletion of "hidden"
files and the use of non-standard partition sectors under MSDOS (the third-
party security scrambles the boot sector).  Anyone have any insights into
any of this?

I have a Trident ( sorry I don't have the specific model handy,
though it is a TVGA [something] ).

The card works with the X386mono and X386, however X386 runs
in mono.

Likewise, please let me know. I would love to be able to run X
in color.

BTW - I still have problems with small size fonts looking garbled,
any ideas how to correct them?

Yes there is the command alias...  the sintax is a little different
than the unix version....
Here is an example:

	Alias dir='ls -las'

Hope this helps....
