yes,... I'm running olvwm with X386 2.1 shared libraries although there seems
to
be a very small irritating bug where it doesn't always 'clean' overwrites

According to the FAQ,
 


QUESTION: What SCSI hosts are supported?

ANSWER: The Adaptec 154x, Adaptec 174x in "standard" mode, Future
Domain 16x0,  Seagate ST0x, Ultrastor 14F, and Western Digital
7000FASST  are supported.  Various Adaptec clones from Bustek
and Future Domain are known to work, in both ISA and EISA flavors.

There is an ioctl() call that sets the IP addr of your machine for
each network adapter, including the loopback. The named program does
this... I personaly wrote a small program that just sets up the loopback
and nothing else and use that to run TinyFuge and NetMuck 2.2FB4.1

I tried installing SLS .98 recently.  After some initial problems (due to
the fact that I'd written to some diskettes using both DOS 3.3 and DOS 5.0)
I did manage to get it to complete the "doinstall" procedure.

I couldn't find the LILO files "boot.b" nor "chain.b" either.
...and of course, without these LILO is rather *useless*.  Cxu ne?

Overall, I found SLS .98 to be 'scrappy' and the scathing responses from
Peter to my queries didn't help much either.  (His responses in summary
came down to, "Bang your head for ten hours, *then* ask."  What a guy.)

The Posix Way involves no ioctl's. It uses 

#include <termios.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int tcgetattr(int fildes, struct termios *tp); and
int tcsetattr(int fildes, int options, const struct termios *tp);

instead. 

Is the behavior of TIOCGETP/friends the same as TCGETA/friends?

No, you aren't dead. Get Lu's rootdisk. You can boot that and then mount

Lu's rootdisk is a GREAT thing to have for those 'OMIGAWD' type mistakes.

You can find an S3 server on ftp.robots.ox.ac.uk in /pub/linux/S3

It would be very practical if there is somebody who would copy

Dear Linus,

	For a novice of linux like me, I am confused by SLS and
MCC-INTERIM versions of linux. In some of the README files in many sites
recommend to install SLS or MCC-INTERIM for the first time. But what is
the different between these two versions of linux? Are they the clones of
the "real linux"? 

	SLS seem to be more compete and welly organise. Is it better
than MCC-INTERIM in performance and portability? Could anyone advice me
which one should I start with and what would be the advantages?

	Thanks and appreciate in advance.

Or 'rc' for a good shell, and you'll have the 'whatis' command that

Also, using

doesn't expand shell functions or aliases....

on a similar note, I have a wd8013 clone which I have specified to 
FORCE_8BIT (the define is in the beginning of /linux/net/tcp/wereg.h 
to answer the original question) but the kernel *STILL* identifies it
on boot as a wd8013... 

it gives the correct ethernet address and such and all the error messages
I ever get identify it properly... is this a harmless little printk
or is there more likely something more serious wrong?

While trying to figure out the swapfile bug, I discovered that
the source code for 'mkswap' isn't at tsx-11 or sunsite.
