Hello world,

I finaly installed a complete Linux-system and now I want to do some
(La)TeX-stuff. It works very fine, but when I try to compile a german-text
no hyphenation will be done. So I built a new format file using the
german hypenation called ghypen which is included in my lplain.tex.
The initex lplain.tex produced  a new lplain.fmt. No errors were 
reported. But what a suprise, when I use that format no hypenation
seems to be possible. I'm no TeXpert but under DOS all went fine 
(slower of course!).

Does anybody  know, what I have to do to use german hyphenation rules in LaTeX?

Lot's of thanks in advance

Well, you can, but you just have to avoid using <>, the line input

Dunno if this includes source, but RFM0310.ZIP is available for XA file

elsewhere if not in this archive, and I've seen the package around

Netmail's on it's way. I'm not a very experienced programmer, but I'm
an
experienced mail software alpha-tester and moderator of ECHO_TECH, so I
figure in my hubris that I really understand the specs. :-)

Hi, 

In the config.in file that comes with the new Linux version (.99) there are
the following lines (I have deleted some that I don't mean to talk about):
##############################################
SCSI support
.
SCSI support?
CONFIG_SCSI y/n y

SCSI low-level drivers
.
Always IN support
CONFIG_SCSI_ALWAYS y/n y
##############################################
It would appear to me that the SCSI card Always IN2000 is being referred to
here as the SCSI_ALWAYS or Always IN, what I would like to know is
1) Who wrote the config file and included the above ?
2) I have such a card and can't install Linux on my Hard Disk, what should I
do ? Please help me somebody.
I have previously asked for help even privately using E-Mail to people I
thought could help but all to no avail. I am not the only one, there is quite
a number out there and we need help. 
My configuration is: 486DX, 8Mb RAM, 200Mb HD, IN2000 SCSI Controller.
Any help will be appreciated.

Subject: XS3 gives 'Unknown S3 chipset: 82'
Organization: The Chinese University of Hong Kong
Date: Tue, 29 Dec 1992 02:02:26 GMT

I have a no brand S3 911 VGA card, and I got the following error 
when I start XS3 0.3.1 (on SLS with 0.99 kernel) 

Unknown S3 chipset: 82

Any clue what's the reason?

Although X seems run smoothly and fast (compare with the damn
Open Desktop).

I've also grabbed Xfree86-1.1 from ftp.robot.uk.ac, but it never
reports the clock setting of my VGA card, I use the following
command line:-

startx -- ./Xfree86-1.1 >& out ; sync ; sleep 1 ; sync

But Xfree86-1.1 reports that no supported chipset is found and die!

Moreover eventhough I run XS3 0.3.1, the startup message said it's
0.2 alpha, is it normal?

If you read c.o.l over the last 2 weeks you would have seen Linus note the
problem, and the fact that he announce patch level 0.99.1 that fixes this
problem, amongst others.
Please upgrade to 0.99.1

I've upgraded my linux to .99 with the 2 line patch - I compiled from
the sources after answering the config questions and tweaking the
Makefile in /usr/src/linux.

Everything seems to be working fine ( I did have to get the ps sources
and compile them) except I can't talk to my CD-ROM (Toshiba XM-3301TA
Rev:  0272.

The cdrom is recognized at boot time - there is a message to the effect
                 that scsi CDROM sr0 scsi 0 id 6 lun 0
was there.

I made a devce /dev/cdrom with the command

    mknod -m 500 /dev/cdrom b 11 0

and I attempted to mount the cdrom with the command

    mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt

I get an error message telling me that a read failure occurred and the
mount fails.

Oh yes - I'm running a 486/33 with 16m of memory and an Adaptec 1542b
controller with rom version 3.10.

Anyone got any ideas or solutions.

You have to use XS3, which is a X for S3 (911, 924, 801, etc).  The
Xfree86 yet not supports S3 chip.  XS3 is available from tsx-11.mit.edu.

That's my 2 cents.

I believe:

  ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/linux /usr/include/linux
  ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/asm   /usr/include/asm

is the preferred method.

Yes, the question is: should backspace send ascii code 7 or 128 (is it
127) that gives ^? at many places?

I changed the linux kernel code myself [ keyboard.c ] and got it
working. Just search for 128 and change it to 8 in the definitions of
key_map array. (May be it is 127 in place of 128 ... I do not remember

You can use gcc 2.2.2d7 as the native cc. You do

1. apply the patches.
2. do
	configure i386-linux
3. compile it with gcc 2.2.2d7.

Would it be possible to have a "Linux prototype" accessible

What I mean by that is a site which has all files (executables,
libraries, rc or configuration files) in the 'proper' place. 

For example, this telnet/ftp-able site has
   /bin/...
   /usr
   /usr/bin
   /usr/lib
   /usr/spool/...
   /lib/...
   /etc
   ......
directory structures with binaries in it.

Advantages :

1. Users who do not want ( or can't) compile programs can grab
   the binaries. I often have to download source files and compile
   them over and over again (I don't keep the sources, not enough
   space on my drive). Sometimes I just want to update a file,
   (eg: it complains about stat() call and must be recompiled),
   I know where I can get the source etc, but I just want the
   binaries.

2. Users can see the proper location of certain files.

   For example: what should be put in /lib directory
   or what link I should make.
   I have a whole bunch of lib* files in my /lib dir but I don't
   know what does what. I don't want to remove any of these files
   since something might break. :-(

   This is also usefull when installing big packages like gcc, uucp,
   news, etc. Users can see the locations of certain files.
   If s/he doesn't have that file (for some reasons), just download
   the file (not the whole package).

Would be nice if this prototype machine is 'telnet-able'.
(I believe there is a public telnetable 386BSD machine, forgot the
name. I did a telnet to that machine and was able to look around).

multiport boards, such as the fine ones from arnet, work great using 1 
irq, or none.
