   I've got Linux installed on my 486/33 system, and I'm having
a ball.  But when that question (Now what?) arises, I'm totally
at loss.   I was planning to get an Internet feed, and add 
dial-in capabilities, because I know a few of my friends who
would LOVE to have the ability to read Internet stuff.  But like,
I'm having problems with TCP/IP right now, and like, the only thing
I see happening right now is, me planning out this whole thing.

   Like if you look at it, Linux is a good system to run on, but
if you or your family are more inclined towards DOS/Windows 3.1
applications, it's quite a tough decision.  Personally, I like
Linux much better, but the point is that until good spreadsheet
programs or wordprocessors are ported to Linux, I'm still gonna
be unsure of keeping it up.   Well, for wordproccessing, I'm
sure people will suggest me using LaTeX (which I'm still not sure
what the hell it is.  Is it a wordproccessor?)  

    And quite frankly, I've still got ways to go in order to get
my Linux system to my liking.  Right now, I'm minorly satisfied.  I'd
like to get dial-ins working PROPERLY. 

    I'm not sure if I've made my point, but it goes along the same
lines as what you're saying; that is, Now that I've got my system 
up and running to my satisfaction, what am I gonna do with it now?

    Anyone else want to enlighten me on the possibilities of Linux
besides good multitasking. <grin>

Subject: Install scsi Bernoulli with 1542B
Date: 7 Jan 93 15:20:01 GMT
Organization: University of Minnesota


Problems installing Linus SLS to a Bernoulli cartridge.

With the Adaptec bios disabled( as it must be to run aspi4dos and aspidisk
under DOS) the a1 disk recognizes the existence of the 1542 and the system then
hangs.

With bios enabled, the BErnoulli is correctly identified and the boot proceeds
normally.  However, under Linux FDISK cannot recognize the scsi device (per
documentation) and under DOS PFDISK will not recognize my scsi removable
either. My crude understanding is that if I can partition the Bernoulli
for a minix file system while under DOS I should be able to install to it
under Linux.  With or without bios enabled, though, pfdisk will not recognize
my scsi Bernoulli.

My boot drive is an RLL mr535 controlled by bios on a western digital 
controller and partitioned as C: and D: extended.

There is no entry in AT CMOS for secons drive.

I have read through all the FAQs I can find but can't locate a solution.

Has anyone similar experience or recommendations?

Article-I.D.: shelley.1if7ieINNr5d
Distribution: world

My setup:

I have SLS .98pl1, with the kernel upgraded to .98pl5, all the z*fix.taz
patches up to December 15, and LILO 0.6, with my DOS partition as the default,
though I do most of my work under Linux.  I have 4 primary partions:  1st
one is DOS, next 3 are Linux/Minix, one of which is a swap partiion.
My computer is an AMD 386-40 with a Cyrix 387, 8MB Ram, 128k cache 
(or is it 256?), 234 MB 12ms hard drive, ISA bus, AT disk controller.

My problem:

In my eagerness to get Linux up without having to boot from a floppy, I
installed LILO 0.6 without making sure that the MBR had been backed up
correctly.  (It wasn't!) Now I would like to do a couple of things:  
(i)  change my partitioning setup so I have more of the HD available to Linux,
[which means, I guess, having 1 primary, 1 extended, and several logical 
partions], and 
(ii) be ready to reinstall SLS when 1.00 comes out (therefore, I would like 
to have LILO 0.7 up and running).  But I have LILO 0.6 running the 
entire boot process now, with no backup to the MBR!

Questions:

1)  Can LILO run the boot process once I have repartitioned and the disk
    information is inaccessible?  I.e., where does LILO run from?  The MBR
    or the partition?

2)  How can I use MS-DOS 5.0 utilities to make a new Master Boot Record?
    or is BOOTACTV an acceptable alternative?  My documentation of MS-DOS 5.0's
    fdisk is for morons :-) .

I'm planning to put LILO 0.7 on ASAP, anyway, and I have, or will have very
soon, complete backups of my DOS and Linux partitions.

Another question, completely incidental:

3)  Why does ps, which otherwise works normally, return the name of the
    process with the COMMAND listed as 0-2 characters in parentheses?  E.g.,
	'(ty)'
    which I assume refers to 'getty' or something.  Will this get fixed when
    I reinstall SLS in a couple of weeks?

Thanks in advance for any help!

and then i keep on feeding in A4, B1, B2, ... etc and similar errors come
up when untaring the files...

some even says:
installing xxxx ... tar: hm... this doesn't seem like a tar file...
something like that!

what's wrong?  i formatted every disk (MS DOS 5.0) before i copied the

The permissions and ownerships of the source files in this image came
out mangled when I unpacked the file.  One symptom was that nothing
could compile, because they couldn't read linux/types.h (yes, I had
the symlinks fixed).

To avoid this problem, here is what to do when you untar the image:

1. Untar the image as root.  Use the 'o' option to tar:

	cd /usr/src
	tar xzvof linux-0.99.2.tar.Z)

2. Then run the following commands to fix the file permissions:

	find /usr/src/linux -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
	find /usr/src/linux -type f -exec chmod go+r {} \;
	sync

That should do it.

Oh, and I'm running most of the latest SLS binaries.


I would REALLY like to know what the matter is.
Furthermore I can't get talk to work "Destination machine does not recognise 
us", or something like that.

Telnet, and FTP work almost perfectly. (Okay, Telnet expects ^J for a line

I share Alex Nemirovsky's question.  I'm considering a DECpc 433 which has
local bus on board I/O and accelerated local bus video (framebuffer type
unknown).  These appear to be fast, well-made machines.  Does Linux have
a prayer of working?  As always, "some assembly required" is expected outside

X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.1 PL8]

Let me just say to begin with that it was a pain in the ass. Just goes to show
you that you should NEVER buy genuine IBM. Anyway, that's just what a friend
of mine did, and we spent hours finding out why Linux would not recognize his
hard drive, or his B floppy drive. Turns out that IBM altered that "standard"
information in the CMOS and the BIOS, so when Linux checked them for the drive
configuration, it died. We had to install Linux on a non-IBM machine, make
some changes to the kernel source code, recompile, make a boot disk, and then
everything was ok. This method is, of course, no use to anyone without access
to a second machine.

So, I'm wondering if something can be done to the SLS distribution to allow
for verification of drive auto-detection. Since neither I, nor my friend, are
particularly good at 486 assembly, we don't know how to add this to the boot
procedure, and we would prefer to not have it in the kernel, since then you
would have to go through the verification procedure each time Linux is booted.

If any of this makes sense, maybe someone could suggest a way to work this fix
into the SLS distribution.

Oh, and the psaux.c mouse driver doesn't work with my friend's ps/2 mouse. Go
figure :) Anybody know how to fix that?

If iostream works this way, it is broken, because fopen ("foo", "a")
is *not* an open followed by an lseek.  The open must be in O_APPEND mode
or files writen by several processes will lose horribly.

To the specific point asked, I believe that lseeks are not permitted on
pipes, named or otherwise, and so it is not a bug that Linux disallows
O_APPEND mode on pipes.  But if iostream really does an lseek for
fopen ("foo", "a") that should be fixed.

 Peter is right that Linux is currently used mostly by developers/hackers.
but it is also being used for "work". i run linux on my office pc (486/33)
where i use it mainly for 1)email (kermit,ka9q), 2)text-editing (GNU Emacs)
3)data-processing (emacs, awk, misc utils, ingres) and 4)typesetting (TeX).
some of the typesetting is math-related for which i also use gnuplot and 
the Calc symbolic package for emacs.
 i used to use all of these in dos/mswindows but they all work better in 
linux, both individually and, especially, coordinately. i also prefer the 
X window style to mswindows or os2 (tho X is, i think, a resource hog).
 i moved to linux since all the programs i use and like are UNIX based.
besides, linux is much more fun.

 you are right that there is an inconsistency. in fact, there even was
one in the old TeX archives, namely my xdvi and mf use 2.1 X libs 
(from Orest's `official' xfree86-1.1' distribution). 
  you do not have to update to gcc2.3.3 yourself, but you do have to 
get the 4.2 shared libs.
 /pub/linux/GCC/image-4.2.TZ includes HJ's libs for both use and compiling
 
(/pub/linux/packages/TeX/libc42.taz has just the /lib/libc.so.4.2)
 
  see in the GCC dir for readme, etc on updating one's libc.so.4
(basically:
  make a Linux boot floppy for safety (i use HJ's bootdisk)
  unpack libc.so.4.2 to some safe place
  cp libc.so.4.2 /lib/libc.so.4.2n
  ln -sf /lib/libc.so.4.2n /lib/libc.so.4

keep any old libs until you are SURE they arent needed
  
  the /pub/linux/GCC dir has 4.2 updates of misc files..i forget what,
if any of the SLS 4.1lib binaries break with 4.2 libs)

 with msdos, etc., one pays for updates. In Linux, one pays if one

Keywords: mounting floppy problems fstab

Hi there everybody in Linux-Land!

After installing the Linux-system , (it's running !) there are some 
problems left.

How can I mount a floppy ????
Trying to mount the floppy with :

mount /dev/fd0 /floppy (where floppy is a created subdirectory)

I get the message: "/dev/fd0 allready mounted or /floppy busy "

typing mount without any parameters shows

/dev/hda2    minix() (is this correct, I have an extended filesystem ?!)

what have I done wrong, maybe my fstab is incorrect, but what
are the entries in an correct fstab for a computer with one! 3 1/2 " FD
as A: ????

Maybe somebody can solve this secret, it would be great

Thanks in advance

                             TOM
