Ok, there seem to be a couple of problems with the configuration stuff:
they are minor, but they can get a new user pretty confused. Here is how
to fix them:

 1) fs/isofs/inode.c tells you that it needs CDROM support when you
    pre-process it during running "make dep". 

    this one has two different solutions:

    - remove the '#ifndef CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR ...  #error ...  #endif'
      test in fs/isofs/inode.c
or
    - use "make config" to include all the SCSI support: you can remove
      it later by doing another "make config" after you have your
      dependencies up-to-date. It's a problem only for "make dep", as
      a real make won't even enter the isofs subdirectory unless you
      have asked for the isofs filesystem (and then you do indeed need
      the CDROM support, so the error is valid)

 2) linking the net/ subdirectory gives a "tcp/tcpip.a: no such file or
    directory" if you don't include the networking stuff in the config.

    simple solutions:

    - do a "ar cvs net/tcp/tcpip.a" to create an empty archive to get
      the linker happy (alternatively you can once more reconfigure with
      the tcp/ip support to get the archive created, and then configure
      it out again and re-making the kernel. That's essentially how I
      never saw this error when I tested the configs out..)
or
    - edit the net/Makefile and just dike out the 'tcp/tcpip.a' (or put
      it behind a "ifdef" like the NET_SUBDIRECTORY..)

Also, if you get the "unable to make cdefs.h" or similar, it probably
means you haven't done a "make dep".  Alternatively your installation
has some problems. 

Sorry for the silly problems with the config stuff and hope that's the
biggest problem with this release,

		Linus

Okay everybody... You know the plan!  Linux 0.99 really *is* 1.0... but it'll
need some bug-fixes before we *call* it 1.0.  So now is the time to concentrate
on BUG FIXES.  I would even go so far as to suggest that the folks with other
stuff they're doing under Linux (like everything other than the kernel) should
concentrate on making their packages work with Linux 0.99...

When the 1.0 kernel comes out, it would be a shame if stuff on the archives
wouldn't work with it... Let's make the next few weeks a time for getting all
of the old stuff up and running with the new kernel.

Subject: ANNOUNCE: Sound for Linux 0.99 (Sound driver v 0.4)
Originator: mdw@db.TC.Cornell.EDU
Keywords: SOUND
Organization: University of Helsinki, Department of Computer Science
Date: Mon, 14 Dec 1992 01:18:47 GMT

The version 0.4 of the Sound Card Driver is available at nic.funet.fi
(pub/OS/Linux/xtra/snd-kit/snd-driv-0.4.tar.Z)

This version contains support for the ProAudioSpectrum 16 card in
addition to the previously supported cards (AdLib, SoundBlaster and SB
Pro). Other ProAudioSpectrum models are not supported yet. File
snd-kit/snd-util-0.4.tar.Z contains additional utilities to be used with
the driver. 

Installation:

- Install linux 0.99 sources.
- Install files in the snd-driv-0.4.tar.Z
- If you are using nonstandard IRQ setting for the card, you have to
edit the line containing macro SOUND_SUPPORT in the linux/Makefile.
Standard settings are IRQ7 for SoundBlaster (SBC_IRQ) and 
IRQ5 for ProAudioSpectrum (PAS_IRQ).
- Continue installation as for standard Linux 0.99.

It is also possible to use the version 0.3 of the sound -driver with
Linux 0.99. Just follow the instructions above and don't try to apply
any patches provided with the driver. You have to make manually the
following change to the linux/kernel/chr_drv/sound/Makefile before
compiling the kernel. NOTE! The following is not necessary for the
version 0.4.

---- Manual patch for version 0.3 ---
.c.o:
	$(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(SOUND_SUPPORT) -c $<
                               ^
                               |
			Insert this macro
-----------

Completion:

The AdLib and SoundBlaster part is almost unchanged from the previous
version. It is in late beta or early production phase.

The ProAudioSpectrum part is in early alpha state.

Subject: ANNOUNCE: tinymush 2.0.8.p9 + tinyfugue 2.0.b2 binaries
Keywords: tinymush, tinyfugue, mud, tcp
Organization: University of Helsinki
Date: Fri, 18 Dec 1992 00:06:16 GMT


I've uploaded a binary version of tinymush 2.0.8.p9 to both tsx-11 and
sunsite.  Included are: 

	tinymush 2.0.8.p9 binaries and runtime text files.
	tinyfugue 2.0.b2 binaries and runtime text files.

tinymush-bin.tar.Z has been uploaded to:
	tsx-11.mit.edu:/incoming
	sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/Incoming

This is a binary distribution of TinyMUSH 2.0.8.p9 and TinyFugue 2.0.b2.
Both work on Linux 0.98.1 with TCP built into the kernel.

All programs were built with the jump table 4.1 libc and the 4.0 libm.

Caution: make sure that the hostnames option is set to no in the netmush.conf
file, or mush will hang for about a minute whenever anyone connects.  For the
same reson, use numeric IP addresses with tinyfugue.  The included netmush.conf
file already has this change.  If the gethostbyname bug gets fixed (or you
don't mind the wait) you can turn hostnames back on.

Each connect generates two error entries in the log: 'NET/FAIL : (linger)'
and 'setsockopt: Protocol not available'.  Neither seems to affect the mush
in any real way.

tf was built to install into /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/lib, the tf_install
script in the fugue-2.0.b2 directory does this.

The source to tinymush is available on:
	caisr2.caisr.cwru.edu(129.22.24.22):/pub/mush
	primerd.prime.com(129.122.132.150):/pub/games/mud/tinymush

The source to tinyfugue is available on:
        ferkel.ucsb.edu(128.111.72.60):/pub/mud/clients
        ftp.math.okstate.edu(139.78.10.6):/pub/muds/clients
	primerd.prime.com(129.122.132.150):/pub/games/mud/clients

The only change needed to get tinyfugue to compile under Linux is to add
-DSYSVTTY to FLAGS in the Makefile.

Hi Jeff,

> It seems to work fine.. you mentioned that you did not have FTP access,
> did you want me to put it at tsx-11 and sunsite?

Yes, could you do that for me? I would appreciate it *very* much.
That was the reason it hasn't been updated there in a long time.
I am going to sign up with holonet but since that is untested I would
think it best to trust you to move it to the FTP sites. You might
want to make a mention of it in comp.os.linux and I will post a 
message also describing the changes. 

Basically the changes are:

a) bug fixes, 
b) clean-up of the code, 
c) correction of the buffering problem with stderr (a fault of GCC 2.x), 
d) fixes to the dialing directory to not choke on the DEL character, 
e) improved dos_mode for displaying high-ascii characters and line graphics 
   (the latter by mapping them to vt102 graphics sequences), 
f) proper parsing of dos-type "ansi" (?) sequences which differ from the 
   vt102 standard.
g) *selectable* trapping of the DEL character and mapping it to backspace. 

It should be noted also that the internal xmodem protocols are considerably
improved and faster than stock XC. I should get around to submitting my
patches ..... :-)

If you have any suggestions, just drop me a line.

Thanks again, 

Thomas

this archive (/pub/linux/packages/TeX/epoch42.taz at tsx-11.mit.edu)
contains a epoch-4.2 binary and misc. support files.

  the binary was compiled with gcc-2.2.2d7 and linked shared with 4.1 libs 
(and 2.1 xlibs). i have not included any files that are also available with
emacs-18.59 (eg, lisp files).
  essential files from R. Marlet's viewer package are included (the complete
package is avail at babar.inria.fr, dir pub/emacs. it also has lucid 
support and lots more fonts); only the math-courier fonts are included.
 if u want to change the default font size used for math-mode's wysiwyg
TeX support --the main reason i've included epoch in this package--, change 
the default near the end of math-mode.el.
  the viewer files unpack to subdir of /ext which should be on an ext fs.

i've included /root/dot.emacs, which is my default .emacs file for both 
epoch and x11emacs.

to install:

  1  unpack this archive from the /   dir (note: /ext is expected to be
      on an ext fs.
  2  cp /root/dot.emacs to ~/.emacs
  3  cd /usr/X386/lib/X11/fonts/misc;mkfontdir

  4  restart X, epoch /ext/viewer/doc/math-mode-help.tex
       page down till u get to some funny symbols and press F8 to 
       toggle math-mode. M-x math-mode-help  for more info on math-mode.

WELCOME TO COMP.OS.LINUX.ANNOUNCE!

Comp.os.linux.announce (which has a nifty acronym: "c.o.l.a") is a 
newsgroup for announcements, important information, and software patches
for the Linux operating system, a free UNIX clone for i386 and i486 based 
machines.  This group is a moderated companion to comp.os.linux, which is 
the group for discussions, questions, and general information about Linux. 

This group has been created to provide a seperate group in which to crosspost
important information about Linux, since these postings are often lost in
the heavy bandwidth of comp.os.linux. In general, postings to c.o.l.a will
also be posted to comp.os.linux, for those who receive c.o.l over the FidoNet
gateway and other non-USENET sources.

The moderators for this group are myself (Matt Welsh, mdw@tc.cornell.edu) and
Lars Wirzenius (wirzeniu@cc.helsinki.fi). We will be sharing the moderator
duty, and backing each other up to make sure that postings to this group will
be approved as soon as possible after they're submitted.

Submissions to this group should be mailed to the address:
	linux-announce@tc.cornell.edu

If you have any problems or questions about c.o.l.a, please send mail to the
moderators at
	linux-announce-request@tc.cornell.edu
Or simply mail us directly. 

A seperate posting details the guidelines for submitting to this group.
I plan to approve just about anything that's posted to this group, except for
questions or discussions about Linux. So, please, post away.  :)

Plans are in the works for having this group archived at one or more of
the Linux FTP sites; more on that later. I also plan to start a mailing
list channel for those without USENET access (when the linux-activists
list is going again).

Look in Jeff Duntemann's articles in Dr. Dobb's Journal for most of 1991.
I think the first issue was around March.

He describes, in much detail, about interrupt-driven communication using
UART's on the PC.  His set of articles are much better than any book I've
found which claimed to be "the bible" on PC communications.

 I have gotten Linux .98pl5 up and running but cannot seem to get X to work.  The problem seems to be in the video driver. In various places in the many README files, reference is
made to drivers for ET4000,ET300, which I do not have.
I do have a "clone" card using  trident 8900.  after trying
numerous Xconfig settups, a message popped out on the
console mentioning tvga8900.  Is there actualy one? and if
so, why does my screen turn black when I try calling it out
in the Chipsets section.  Failing that, is there a generic
VGA or SVGA driver that I can configure. I would settle for
mono at this point. 
   If any Kind Soul has actually gotten the above to work
I would greatly appreciate any help (or a look at your
Xconfig )..
	Thanks
