      Somewhere between linux98.1 and linux99 there was
      a change in the blk-drv code which affects output

      this dilemma which doesn't involve putting the 
      old blk-drv code from linux98.1 back into 99?

I forgot to mention that the lp device is /not/ a block device, it is
a character device.  doing anything with the block devices won't
directly affect the lp device driver, though removing tthem might make
it a little hard to run linux ;-)

for reference: /usr/src/linux/kernel/chr_drv/lp.c and
/usr/include/linux/lp.h  Read them, if you wish.

Hi, bored with DOS and Windows stuff, I was looking for something useful
and fun to do with my PC (386/33 with 8MB RAM), then I heard about Linux.

So, I ftped to tsx-11.mit.edu and got a copy of SLS, including a, b, c, t and x.

Something went wrong with x stuff, so I just installed Full Base stuff (a, b, c).

I have a few question for you linux experts out there about what to do next.

1.  First, I noticed that Linux has to be booted from bootable floppy disk
    that Linux created during installation.  I tried to install LILO and was
    unsuccessful.  Could you provide me with more detailed step-by-step instruction
    on how to install it?  Instructions in README file was a kind of confusing
    to me.

2.  Secondly, I wanted to create a user.  So I fired up "menu" and chose 
    Create a New User under System Administration.  Turned out that "adduser" 
    command was not found.  What do I do?

3.  Thrid, I also noticed that most of manual pages were compressed.  I found a
    shell script called "doman", which I think is used to uncompress them, and
    played with it but didn't get too far.  What do I do to fully uncompress
    all manual pages.  Additionally, is there any other stuff that need to be
    uncompressed?  If so, how do I do it?

4.  Is there any other I need to do before I install X stuff?


I know, I know.  I am a complete novice when it comes to Unix and being root user.
So, please help me out.  If any one is interested, I will post the summary for you.

Thanks a million.

Hi...

	I'm getting ready to install Linux as a replacement for my
existing Unix OS (its getting old, doesn't have as many features as
Linux seems to have) but currently have a couple of worries :)

	The main one is my comm's card...I have an AST 4Port Board
that I currently have to install FAS to use...I hear that someone out
there currently has an AST 4Port Board running...what's involved?

	I'm currently trying to install it on a Laptop (a trial run
before the big one) and seem to be having a few 'problems':

	- the hard drive is old and has bad sectors.  When I set up a
          partition with my old OS, it does surface analysis and sets
          up a 'bad sectors' map and so on...does Linux have something
          similar? 

	- after I finish the doinstall script, I get prompted to put
          in the formatted diskette (to make a boot diskette from),
          which I do, and which it does...no problem...except when I
          reboot...it goes through the 'Loading.....' part, and then
          the screen goes black...no cursor or anything, just
          black...ideas? 

	Please respond by email, as I currently am unable to retain
news for very long (lack of disk space)...and I have the most recent
FAQ, so please do not send that (but if it is something that I did
miss in the FAQ, please point me to it?)

Thanks...

Marc

P.S. I guess that it might make a difference...I'm using the SLS dist.

Since I didn't receive any responses to my previous post, I'll
rephrase and repost :

I've got ftp and telnet running on my network, albeit only with
numeric IP addresses. 

I've been trying to get a nameserver running locally, but I can't
get the contents of the named.* files right. The named daemon always
boots with 'no root nameserver for class 1'. I've read all README and
FAQ files, but they are somewhat confusing in places.

Since I'd like to know whether I am doing something wrong or something
is wrong with the tcp/ip package I would greatly appreciate somebody
mailing or posting the named.* files for a simple 2-station isolated
network with a local nameserver.

Because it seems more people are struggliling with this, I'll post a 
summary of responses.

Thanks.

I was thinking that a fully implement mmap would allow page sharing and

Is there a chance of getting a full mmap before 1.0?

	Excuse me??  Those of us 'morons', as you so ignorantly put
it, are also those that get it across to Peter that some changes need
to be made, and to which I think he does tailor his changes.

	I, myself, as one of those 'morons' to which you refer, have
been administering/upgrading/maintaining a commercial variat of Unix
for the past year and consider myself able to get around most
variants.  I have worked at getting software running and have a fair
to good idea of what is missing, if something is.  I hate asking
questions of the net, except for the fact that answers come back very
very fast that way.  There are some questions that I figure out after
I ask them...but if I'm asking them, there is a good chance that
someone else out there is also asking them.

	Go back to your high school days, in a class of peers, and you
need to ask a question but are afraid to because someone might laugh
at you...well...it is the same here, except here, those that think
they don't ask the occasional 'moron'ic question, flame you.

	Those of us that seem to complain about something 'minor'
probably do make a difference (whereas the silent majority
doesn't)...if  find something that seems 'not quite right', and say
something about it, then it is usually something that Peter can fix
for the next distribution...and it is probably something that he
doesn't notice on his machine (quite understandable)...and who does
that help in the end...the new Linux user, setting his up for the
first time...he now has 'less' minor problems to worry about.

	I, for one, am seriously enjoying Linux...and greatly
appreciate Peter's effort towards 'spreading' it by packaging it up as
well as he as done...but, and I think (I hope) Peter will agree, it is
far from a finished product...and that's where we come in...if we
don't give him feedback, how is he going to know there are problems?

	Its 3:30am here...sorry for the ramblings...I'm just growing
tired of flamers/labellers :)

Can somebody help me with the printcap for a hplaserjet.
I have installed the lpr package from ftp-server but when I print a file I get the header and many formfeeds but not the right text.
I think my printcap isn't right, because it's installed for a panasonic printer.

	I had missed that posting, as I just started playing with Linux.
I did get the patch though, and it wouldn't compile after applying it. 
I ended up downloading the complete sources for 0.99p1 and they seem
to be compiling without much except for a couple of warnings.

I agree - tcsh seems to work nicely - I had to get it in order to help
me bring up Radiance 2.1 under Linux.

By the way, frexp seems to be missing from libc.so.4.1, and I am also
getting some unexplained 'division by zero' core dumps. Does anyone
(HLU?) know if this would be fixed if I installed GCC 2.3.3? (I already
grabbed libc.so.4.2 for doc)

Run the rdev command (specifying the boot device, video and -1 as

It depends upon what level of real time you want.  Linux isn't
designed to do real-time, so if you need specific facilities (e.g.  a
scheduler that tries to guarantee latencies) you'll be in trouble.
However some applications probably don't require that.

As you probably know, depending upon your application, real time can
involve latencies anywhere between 1 usec and 1 msec.  Linux has good
enough interrupt latency to handle fairly high speed serial I/O.  I
could do 9600 bps reliably on a 386sx under 0.12.  I can do at least
19200 on a 486 now.  This is with chips that require an interrupt for
each character.  So you should be able to get latencies from several
hundred usec to 1 msec.  I don't think you could do much better than
this.  The limit used to be the hard disk, though I think Linus has
been working on that.  If you configured a system with a RAM disk and
ran entirely from there, maybe you could do a little better.

I'm assuming that the code for which latency is critical would be
linked into the kernel, presumably as a device driver.

Okay, I downloaded all the gcc 2.3.3 upgrade stuff out of tsx-11
/pub/linux/GCC and untarred and put it all in the right directories.

But when I go to type "gcc" it says "gcc: can't load library
'/lib/libc.so.4' Incompatible version

My libc.so.4 is linked to libc.so.4.2 ( -rwxr-xr-x   1 427      242
607236 Dec 30 04:22 libc.so.4.2) and ( -r-xr-xr-x   2 root     system
607236 Dec 30 20:00 libc.so.4)

can anybody help me?

There are sample config files included with mailpak.  Have you run this?

"uucico -r1 -f -s<site>"

then looked in /usr/spool/uucp/.Admin/audit.local?

Or you could do "/usr/lib/uucp/uuchk"...
