Tar does support multi-volume backups.  Multi-volume archives are not
compatible with compression because tar pipes it's output through
compress and can't tell where the volume boundaries are.  I'm not 
sure I want to compress my backups, because a single glitch renders 
the whole thing unusable.

If you really want multi-volume compressed tar backups, you can pipe
"tar -c -Z -f -" to a simple filter that reads stdin, writes the floppy,
and prompts for a new floppy when appropriate.  Things like this have
been posted several times over the years.  The Minix archives probably
still contain one and there are almost certainly other implementations
sitting in other archives.  Here's a clue that will help you to create
your own.  The dd command can be invoked as 

	"dd bs=1024 count=1440 of=/dev/PS0"

It will return an exit status from which you can determine whether or not
it copied the full amount.  (At least, the Sun version does.)  Put this
inside a loop, and you're set.  (Well, plus or minus some hacking.  :-))

Another approach would be to compress the individual members of the
archive, but not the headers.  I remember seing somebody post that they
had hacked GNU tar to do this, but I don't remember seeing any diffs.
The advantage of this scheme would be that you could rely on GNU tar's
ability to skip over damaged portions of an archive.  The disadvantage
would be that your backups might not be portable.

If you can use fdisk to *write* to the bad disk, and you have a hardcopy of
your partition information, you might be able to run fdisk, repartition your
HD *exactly* the way it was before, reboot, and everything shoudl be as it
was.  Trouble is, when a HD goes like this, usually the whole track (0) is
gone.  :(  That means anything else that was there (including your boot
sector, and part of your inode table as well) might be gone.

I have the same computer.  I like linux on a notebook.  I solved the
"NMI received" problems by looking through the source code for linux
and commenting out the code that prints that message.  I left in the

I had a similar problem setting up Linux with my old modem.  Look in
your modem manual for the S register (I think it's S25) which controls
how long the modem waits after DTR drops before hanging up.  Often
the factory default is quite short, so any tiny glitch on the DTR
signal will cause hangups like the one you see.  Set S25 to a larger
value (20 causes it to wait 200ms; 50 gives a half-second timeout) and
I'll bet your problem is solved.  Don't forget to save the value into
the modem's NV RAM.

Hello there,

as a lucky owner of an used 20" color monitor, I am *very* interested

Does anybody know an ISAbus video card which can be used under MS*DOS,
but can also be used for running X11 with being set up to the following:

  60Hz	horizontal
  62kHz vertical (!)
  up to 110MHz pixel-clock

What a pity, this monitor (Panasonic/Matsushita TX2002, if *you* use this
model, please drop me a line!) scans a resolution of up to 1280x1024, but
it is *no* multisynch.

I would be very glad (and surprised) if one of you could tell me
if there is at least one card, and maybe if it is possible to get
an ET4000 running with this frequencies !  :)

less often since now I keep only little-used files on it - however, the hd
I had been using was only 20 meg, and I've outgrown it, this one is a 40,
and I'd like to use all of it. I'm about to edit the kernel to have it
ignore this particular status/error level, but am nervous about such a
kludge since this could be a real problem, although I've never had any
problems with the hd except this annoying message:

I've already had problmes with wait states, so I son't think I need to slow

work. Any help anyone can offer would be greatly apprechiated, thanks much!

Keywords: struct fdset changed but macros not ?

A few kernel releases before the max number of open
files changed to 256.

This influenced the select sys-call. The type fd_set is
now defined as

typedef struct fd_set {
	unsigned long fds_bits [__FDSET_LONGS];
} fd_set;

where __FDSET_LONGS is 8.

There are a few macros to handle this type (FD_SET, 
FD_CLR, ...).

But I think these macros havn't changed ! They still
use a single 386 machine instruction to clear/set bits.

I think this is wrong.

   How about the opposite: install the file in the target directory,

You can do the same thing with a text file per each package
describing what was installed where, just as SLS is doing.  Why
waste inodes?

First, please don't append include files that all of us have available. this
just make your post a pain to respond to, since I have to delete the include
file then.

Second, please read the FAQ, as I am sure this was answered there.

The answer is, is that libg++ is not included in the standard jump table's,
and is only able to be compiled in with the -nojump option on the command
line.

I'm using ka9q to do SLIP (linux .99p2 kernel) ftp. is there a way to have
ftp indicate its downloading progress as it goes along, in dos (which i dont
use anymore) i could set it so a # was printed for every 1024bytes.
  i'm using 19200bps with a mss of 1024 and window of 3072..works fine so
far, havent tried to get any really big files. 
  where is doc for some version of ka9q?
