Hello,

compiling (loading) XV gives the following error:
gcc -o xv xv.a libjpeg.a libtiff.a -lX11 -lm
xv.a(xvjpeg.o): Undefined symbol _setjmp referenced from text segment
xv.a(xvjpeg.o): Undefined symbol _setjmp referenced from text segment

Any ideas???

Thanks Stefan

Hy Folks,

this day I've installed my smart mailer, and try playing with elm.

But elm in SLS is configured to ingnore From: and Reply-To: lines.
So I've to recompile ELM :-(

But (having horror) I compiles just out of the box (only one problem
in unistd.h with ulimt()).

Linux is great :-)

  I just recently got around to killing off my DOS on my other HD, and then
proceeded to re-lowlevel it, double check the bad blocks etc.
  Then, fdisk in Linux, make a 40 meg part, and then mkfs for the 40 meg.
I mounted it under /u, works fine...until...
  
   When I try to use a large file, like copying a dir structure...it chokes..
with the following messages:
 
HD: read_intr: status = 0x59
HD: read_intr: error - 0x80
HD-controller reset
harddisk I/O error
dev 0302, sector 3104  (the sectors vary....)
 
  And this goes on for a bit and then its done, fsck says its ok..but on large
un-taring and such...it'll do this for ages....any ideas why and how to fix?
 
 Sys config:  486 25mhz (no cache)
	      2 x ST251-1 40 meg MFM harddrives (Both on WD controller).
	      8 meg ram
	      SLS Linux .098p1
 
I never had any problems with the first 40 meg....but once the second
is in place....the second just keeps spitting.  When I used Mtools
to transfer between the two before, it worked great, on huge files and
everything....so I know hardware is ok.  But when its re-formated for
Linux....*gasp*.  :)

This is WRONG.  as86 produces 16-BIT REAL MODE CODE.  Linux uses 32-BIT
PROTECTED MODE.  The two are NOT compatible, you *have* to use gas.

The syntax used by as86 is:

	seg es
	mov dx,(bx)

But, as I said above, don't use as86.  Also, under Linux in user mode,
DS == ES == SS; CS points to the same memory as well but is an executable
segment descriptor instead of a data segment descriptor.  In either case,
you should never need to use a segment override unless you are hacking the
kernel (in which case you use an FS dereference to access user space).

Also, note that writing to the TEXT portion of your program will cause a
segment violation.

Same way it is otherwise.  BIOS is useless under Linux, or any other OS
that uses protected mode (although OS/2 actually lets you access BIOS in a
virtual 8086 session).  Your program needs to be run as root and request
I/O privileges from the kernel.

A label that doesn't reference an address, i.e. is undefined.

It shouldn't be hard at all.  Either use separate modules or use GCC inline
code.  Also, don't miss checking out VGALib... already ann extensive
collection of VGA code to my understanding.

Well for starters, A2 should not be compressed.
a1 is compressed, but if you uncompress it, it should be
the same size as a2 like 1.2 MB.  (At least it was for pl1.)

rawrite both files (uncompressed) to the disks.
The "utilities" disk is indeed A2 as you suspected.

after these both boot, then you can do an fdisk 

mkfs, and then finally a doinstall /dev/hd??

hope this helps.

later,

Alvin...

I recently got an Ethernet card and began experimenting with the
TCP/IP stuff.  Just for fun, I brought home an old NCD Xterminal.
This particular one doesn't have its "OS" present in ROM, but rather
gets it off of a remote machine using tftp.  

Well, needless to say, things worked quite smoothly and I now have 
a decent sized mono display to complement my 640x480 color screen.

Linux has certainly breathed a lot of new life into some tired
old hardware.  I'm looking forward to getting NFS going and
finding a use for an old IBM RT that I salvaged some time ago.
It's dog-slow, but it has lots of disk space. :-)

I've read the README, which tells me about symlinking the

know what that means...

It would be appreciated if I could get a script file containing all the

You need the latest XFree dist. (ie. libX11.so.2.1)
and jumptables 4.1, so get ftp'ing if you haven't...

There is a problem with cconq (terminal / curses based version) in that is 
stuffs up the terminal settings when you exit, but an stty sane fixes it for 
now...(I'll look at it Real Soon Now, unless someone else sorts it out...)

Source is at export.lcs.mit.edu
called xconq5.5.tar.Z

Almost compiles cleanly, jsut a few fixes in the Imakefile and its resultant 
Makefile (to do with your curses libraries, as well as font dependencies)

I finally got the SLS 98.5 version installed and working correctly... 
Thanks to all those people who told me to get the new A3 disk with the 
dev.tar file on it.  That solved most of my problems.

More specifically it solved the problems of no /dev directory, which also
fixes that hanging at boot up.  (if there is no /dev directory, there is no 
/dev/tty* thus, there is no terminal to log into :)  

I also got lilo to install correctly by recompiling the kernel again with 
my configuration.  I.e. change the Makefile to point to my root partition 
and other compile time options, and then move that file to /etc/Image and 
adjust the /etc/lilo/install script to point to that image.  

I believe that the problem that I was having with before with lilo was that I
was trying to run the Image generated from the SLS distribution, and that 
Image was not correctly setup for my machine.  Therefore when I recompiled the
new image and used that for lilo it worked correctly with no problems.

Now for a new set of questions.....

1)  Why is it that things seem slower now than before.  I.e. it takes longer 
to boot up the machine, it takes longer to start Xwindows (a lot longer... 
actually) and in general it just seems to lag a while.   I thought that 
perhaps the disk caching wasn't working correctly, but I couldn't find a flag
or swich in the Makefile for it.  Is anyone else seeing this problem?

Thanks.

Yes, the 2 weeks should hopefully be accurate: I really want 1.0 out
before the end of the year, and 0.99 is meant to be just a quick final
version to make sure there are no obvious bugs... 

I'll be making at least one more pl to 0.98 (mostly the tcp-ip fixes and
some /proc goodies), and 0.99 will hopefully then contain the new SCSI
code (and probably also the CD-rom fs).  I'm also looking into loadable
keymaps. We'll see.

I have just installed Linux a couple of days ago, from hlu's root/base/gcc/
lib disk package and then added Xfree1.1 to it.  Installation was fairly 
straightforward and X came up with the first try!  However, I faced a couple 
of minor problems.  The first one is, man won't work at all.  It seems to go 
through all the right motions, i.e., formatting the man pages etc., but does 
not fire up the pager (less).  This was determined by the man -d command.  I 
compiled man and less from the sources at sunsite.unc.edu.  The other is, 
less refuses to show the help file.  Can anyone help me with these?  It is a

Er, someone a little while ago said that they were working on this. You 
might want to ask on the mailing list. Whoever is working on this, will you
PLEASE get in touch with me, so I can incorporate some of your info into the
Linux Setup Manual? Thanks. :)

	   This should be settable with some DIP switches on the back.

Actually, they are inside.  You can also change this with key
sequences.  In fact, you can program the color keys to these
sequences, and then send the terminal a command to run that key and
change the baud rate.  Read the docs for more info.

   I think you would, but I'm not sure how you'd best go about it.

In the emacs package, there is a good termcap.  Use that.
