Subject: More DOS partition questions...
Keywords: dos, partition
Date: 29 Sep 92 18:21:51 GMT

Ok.  I've read the FAQs and install notes.  There are several things that I
would like to get cleared up regarding my existing DOS partition.

First, _which_ fdisk should I use?  Some of the notes say "use the DOS fdisk."
Others say "use the linux fdisk."  Should I repartition the disk before 
installing linux from the boot disk, or does it happen during the installation?

Next, given that I figure out this partitioning stuff, should I compress/
optimize my DOS partition before installing linux?

Finally, does LILO get installed with linux, or is it a separate package? 

Note that I will be attempting to install the mcc-interim package from tcx.
Thanks in advance,

It has been my experience that clock.exe doen't find all the clocks on
most cards.. on mine, it only found 4 of 15 clocks... 
a better way to determin the clocks of your card is with: 

	startx 2> /usr/tmp/x.clocks


you should get something like the following in the file x.clocks:

VGA256:et4000 (mem: 1024k clocks: 25 28 33 36 39 45 32 38 50 57 65 72 80 90 69)


use *THESE* clock values *IN THIS ORDER* for your clocks: line in Xconfig.
From what I've gathered from the group, the server uses the Clocks line
to determine which clock to use for a given value used to define a mode.

in other words, if you have the above clocks set in that order, then when
you define a mode to use clock 69, it will use the 15th clock.

if instead, you defined the clocks line with 69 first, it would use the
1st clock instead.


Aparently, it doesn't matter what values you use in the clocks line..
you could use "1 2 3 4 ... 15" and it would work just as well.. 

However, it would be harder to keep things straight.. 

If you need more help, I have some more pointers I got from Oren that
I could send you.

File system performance of Interactive is MUCH better

however was a pain because of the mounting of root,
but several 10 MB dummy files shortened the free list

[Why is it always seem to be the case that whenever I post news,
our news system breaks?  Anyhow, this is my 3rd attempt, I hope this
goes out.]

Partly due to my curiosity on how Linux kernel works at the inner most
and partly due to my wish to find out the kind of things 
one has to decide when writing an OS from scratch, I wonder if some
kind soul can answer the following for me:

1. Does anyone still have a copy of Linux 0.01, or is it 0.11,
  when all Linux does was switching two processes printing AAAA, BBBB...?
  Or some very earliest version of Linux?
2. An as detailed as possible description of things that are gradually
  added to  Linux since when it can only print AAAA, BBBB?  And the design
  decisions?  I guess up detailed descriptions would be needed for only
  up to 0.12.  Things after that can most likely be found in textbooks.
3. What are the considerations of in deciding what goes into kernel
   and user space?

I guess what I'm looking for are concrete details, 
using Linux and 386 as examples, not those things one can find in textbooks.
I hope this would be a start of documenting Linux for those of us aspiring OS
writing novices.

Does this mean you are using X with an S3-card. I'm about to buy a new card
and are therefore very interested in this subject.

I also talked to a person at the company which sells this card. He said the
card came with a driver for Unix. He just read it from some spec and couldn't

NNTP-Posting-Host: almaak.usc.edu

Around two months ago I installed a Linux using the MCC interim
release.  It worked ok except for some nastiness by Mr. emacs.
I have trident VGA and hence no X.

Today I tried installing TeX and it only works with "jump tables
4.1".  I don't know what this means, but in looking around tsx-11
I got the idea the file jump41.tar might help (very smart, eh?).
I unpacked the file and found the install script.  (It does not work.
I read it and did the stuff by hand).

Now tex blows up with a core dump.  It must be because I'm older than
.97 pl4.  Presumably if I move to .97p4 with a new emacs and gcc my emacs 
bugs will also go away?

How do I goto .97 pl>4??  There seems to be no MCC interim release
at .97 pl4 or so.  I looked around at tsx-11 and it's a real mess of
a file system.  I looked at SLS and it's v.96.

Help, please.

Try again, and make sure your file type is set to binary, as I download
parts of it all the time and have no problems what so ever with the files.
Also, some of the files are just tar files without compression. These contain
a shell script and another compressed tar file within them.

hi,
i think something called p2c exists; a pascal to c translator.

I don't know if its been ported to Linux or not; i think it has
because a mention was made of adding it to the SLS distribution.

But as of now, it is not available on either sunsite or tsx-11
(i checked).

i found a copy of the original sources on wpi.wpi.edu in /contrib
using archie. perhaps its not too difficult to port.

if someone has a working copy of this, could they please upload
it to sunsite?

thanks,
jem.

Hi Guys:

  I asked a question regarding Ultra yesterday and I haven't got any reply (I
know, I need to give time, but I can't seem to afford much for some technical
reasons from university which is going to pay for this - sort of). Please
reply as soon as you can.

ATI Ultra now comes in two new hyped models Ultra+ and Ultra Pro. I can get
the plain ATI Graphics Ultra for $239 from Gateway 2000 (It looks to me a very
good deal but theirs is a OEM without the mouse port) it has 512K Dram and 1M
VRAM and ofcourse the Mach 8 co-pro. THe person I talked to (in GAteway) said
that it is no different than the Ultra you find in the local store except for
the mouse port.

VERY VERY improtant, I am told that Xv2.0 or a variation of it
supports ATI ultra - please correct me if I am wrong.

Now my question, is the price right or too fishy? Are the other models such as
Ultra+ and Ultra Pro so much better that I should really go for them. 

I have NEC 5FG, a very cabable monitor by normal standards, so  may be this
is a reason to to go for the best. What do you think? 

Please reply as fast as you can.

Thank you very much for your consideration of my problem.

    I doubt that I am capable of designing as much hardware as woulld
    be required for this free graphics card but I had some thoughts.

    I was wondering,  how much are 860's in quantity?    Are people
    thinking of making a card with a graphics processor?  

    I have read that there was a graphics chip made by Inmos for the
    transputer,  it would be interesting to see if it would be possible
    to have a kind of scalable graphics system using T800's.

    Would the graphics card be in the address space of the 386 if the
    card was plugged into the Bus,  I guess that a card made for linux
    would not work in DOS because the card would be better if it could
    be accessed not in 64k chunks?  So,  I guess it would need to 
    co-exist since on boot-up the card would perhaps not operate?


    Anyway,  just some ideas,
