One way of dealing with the volume of this group is to do what I do:
read the subjects and see if there are any articles that interest
you. If so, read them and junk the rest.

With some newsreaders like rn and gnus you can also scan articles for
patterns. For instance, if you can't get your PS/2 mouse to work with
X, you can (or should I say 'should') first scan the unread articles
for the string 'mouse'. This way you can with little effort find out
if somebody else has had the same problem recently, and need not waste
energy and net bandwidth by asking the same question again.

Subject: non-blocking read(): return vaules?
Newsgroups: comp.os.linux
Date: 4 Jan 93 07:06:00 GMT


Here's (roughly) something I read in "Advanced C Programming for
Displays" by Marc J. Rochkind:

On System V, a non-blocking "read()", when no data is ready, returns
zero.  On BSD4 systems, "read()" returns -1 and sets errno to
EWOULDBLOCK.

On Linux (System V, right?), it seems to be returning -1 (like BSD),
but without setting the errno as BSD does.

Can someone tell me a little more about read() on Linux?

Thanks in advance.

to compile, GCC required around 24M of memory. try increasing your
swap space. You may want to swap to a file (not a perminant partition)
for this time only. 

I can generate the .o file for you if you want, drop me a note.

Subject: The backup problem (was Re: tar won't do multi-volume archives)
Organization: Jupiter Technology Inc. / Waltham, MA
Date: Fri, 8 Jan 1993 15:49:34 GMT

Among the DOS utilities I gave up in order to run Linux was 'FastBack'.
This is a program which does multi-volume compressed backups in a hurry,
and it puts of the day one has to give in and replace the 3.5" diskette
with a tape drive.

Tar doesn't support this feature.  Among all the contributors to Linux,
has anyone solved the backup problem using any technology which can be
had for <US$300?  Byte for byte, tape drives are more expensive than disk,
and worse, tape media and formats have diverged wildly in recent years.

My current idea is to just buy a big disk drive and leave a scratch
area on it for holding compressed filesystem images which can then be
dumped to diskettes.  (Or even copied by modem to a remote system.)

No. I just used -O2. And as I've mentioned before plp was not the only

I have also tried to use the -static option during compilation but ld 
complains about an unknown option '-static' (I have tried -nojump with

But I am definitely using the newest binutils version from tsx-11

Argh.  I really wish this would get fixed.  This is a problem for
many people that get the SLS release, and then try to upgrade the
kernel.  You lucked out more than I did, however.  My kernel compiled
but died in strange ways at boot...  I've known a few other people
with this problem, too.  I've mailed the SLS maintainer, but got
no reponse, so I don't know what he thinks about this.

The problem is the include directories are backwards under SLS.

These should by sym/soft links:

/usr/include/linux -> /usr/src/linux/include/linux
/use/include/asm -> /usr/src/linux/include/asm

Yes, I know they are directories with files in them.  They're
not supposed to be.  If you looked before you hacked, they
are made the opposite direction.

Adjust the paths as needed for your source.

You can ftp into my server, ftp.rahul.net, anonymously, to

[IP 192.160.13.1]

and grab some animation programs.  I've compiled all of them and they work

the pixmap, the author knows, and a fix is being attempted.  So please
ignore that file.

Remember, you need to have X installed (duh..) :-)

Here's a brief synopsis:

mpeg-1.2.tar.Z : mpeg player
xgrasp:  GL (grasprt) player  

NOTE: I couldnt get xviewgl to compile on my 386-25/8meg, it ran out of
memory!  Could someone try it and see what happens?.. Maybe I wasn't using
the right includes.

xdl:  DL player

I believe those are the important ones.  Now, go to
alt.binaries.pictures.erotica and GO GET THOSE GL/DL FILES.. :-)  

toe.cs.berkeley.edu has a slew of MPEG files available..  in
/pub/multimedia/mpeg/animations (I think that is the correct dir).

Enjoy!    

P.S.:  If you have problems loggin in,please send email to
support@rahul.net along with a capture of your ftp session.  It will help
us improve the site.  Thanks.  You can ftp in any time of the day, but
there is a limit of >6< concurrent ftp sessions, so it may be best to use

These are standard releases for X, I didn't modify them in any way for

I don't know of any software problems.  But Linux (as well as all
versions of Unix) is more sensitive to substandard memory than DOS is.
So you could have a slightly marginal SIMM, or SIMM's whose timing
isn't quite fast enough for your system.  I haven't seen the problem
with Linux, but I have seen it with SVr4 and Mach.

You are right in what you say, but there's even more - SCSI-disks never has
a visible geometry, and the sectors/track count might not be the same every-

real partitioning program wouldnt deal with trachs and sectors. SUN for

SB>Like I mentioned earlier, I'm just learning Linux. I know that the
FAQ
SB>could help a lot but I can't seem to get it going. I only installed
the
SB>"A" series of the disks.

  I had a permission problem reading the FAQ.  I still haven't taken
the
  time to fix it yet, but when I log in a root, I can use the menu
script
  provided by SLS to read the FAQ.

  HTH,
  Chris Lincoln
