Thanks for the tip, however, even though tk3.0+tcl6.5.tar.Z appears in the
IAFA-LISTINGS for sunsite, it's not there in the directory.  Anyone have an
explanation?  (I tried mailing to loser@clueless.newbie.tyro.org, with no
success :-).

Also, is Sunsite the definitive site for Linux stuff?  I've usually gone to
tsx-11 in the past, but sunsite seems to get more stuff (like tvtwm, also).

Thanks for the help.

You can use speeds up to 115200 bps under linux, either by using
setserial in conjunction with other comm programs, or by just using a
comm program that supports high speeds directly (currently only Seyon
does that). 

I doubt though that you can attain throughputs of more than 38400 if
you're using phone lines (i.e. in contrast to using a null-modem
connection), so setting the DTE speed to more than that may not be
justified.

All the best,

I am sure this is RTFM stuff - man gcc. Libraries are
linked as needed, so in the first case libm.a was not
needed since it came before program -> not linked.
Put -lm at the end - same as your second case.

1.) Do you have anything listening to port 1111? It will give you errors
if you try to connect to a port that isn't there.

2.) Is /usr/etc/inet/hosts set up correctly for your machine? Mine looks
like this:

129.130.4.12	quix quix.ksu.edu # I just assigned mine, since I can't connect
				  # to the outside world with it anyways.
127.0.0.1	loopback
127.0.0.1	me

3.) Do you run config in rc.net to include the loopback device? It needs to be
run twice like this:

config loopback $IPADDR # Whatever your ip address is
config loopback 127.0.0.1 # To assign the loopback device to 127.0.0.1

I don't know if I'm the only person left in the world who hasn't gotten
lilo to work with the .99p3/2.3.3 combo, but I felt that I had better
ask. 

I had lilo installed earlier with .99p2/2.2.2d.  I felt brave and
patched my kernel and installed 2.2.2d and the new 4.2 library.
Everything worked after reboot, so I rebuilt the kernel and used lilo to
install it.  That worked fine.  Following that, I changed the kernel
config and recompiled.  Next, I did a 'make clean' in my lilo source
directory followed by a make.  The make fails on map.c with:

map.c: In function `map_done':
map.c:49: storage size of `st' isn't known
map.c:57: warning: implicit declaration of function `fstat'
map.c:58: warning: int format, different type arg (arg 2)
map.c:49: warning: unused variable `st'
make: *** [map.o] Error 1

Does this explain what is happening?  I'm still having serious serial

Nicely grovelled :-).

I'm working on something that should do what you need. It's a thingy sort of 
similar to depot (if you ever looked at it).

  In a nutshell:

Each package sits in its own directory hierarchy.

Each package contains details of what it contains and how the various files 
should be mapped into, say, a /usr/local hierarchy.

A script (called pkg for now) exists which can manage the mapping from 
package directories to the /usr/local hierarchy.

For instance, assume you had just picked up TeX and untarred it under 
/usr/packages/TeX. You would then install it using:

  $ pkg --target /usr/local --add /var/packages/TeX
  (add the package to the /usr/local tree)

  $ pkg --target /usr/local --rebuild
  (rebuild the /usr/local tree. At this stage the individual members
   of the installed packages are mapped - using links, symlinks or
   straight copies as specified in the package - into the target tree).

and you're off. pkg knows how to sort out multiple versions and will use the 
latest version it can find in the set of installed packages. Hence if your 
original tex was 3.14 and you got an upgrade package containing 3.2 you 
could just install it and pkg would map in the newer version. You could also 
deinstall it and pkg would go back to the old version.

  At the moment it's all very pre-alpha but the basics are working. Before 
any sort of release I need to work on documentation quite a bit. Hell, even 
the code needs commenting :-).

  Ultimately there should be no need for large unwieldy Linux 
distributions...

Hi all,

After applying the various patches (lilo.8.patch-1, adding #include
"device.h" to map.c) to the LILO 0.8 source, I still can't get it to
compile properly.  I get the following message:

cc -c -Wall -g `if [ -f /usr/include/linux/genhd.h ]; then echo

I am not a C programmer, but it is pretty obvious I need a file called
"autoconf.h".  Where can I get this file?  What part of SLS should have
had this file in it?

By the way, I am running the version of the SLS distribution that was a
sunsite last week.  

Any help would be appreciated.  Please mail me -- the news feed here has
been missing some messages the last little while.

I have version 3.18 (12-07-91) of the szrz package of programs.  I'm using
the latest minicom with all patches applied.  The szrz package has a diff
file, szrz9202.dff that I've applied successfully as well.  The minicom
code has a Readme.szrz file that suggests a hand-patch to get the szrz
programs to send their output through the stdout rather than /dev/tty.
These patches are either superceded by the diff file, or are pointless,
due to the improvements in the diff file.  Nonetheless, I've tried applying
these patches and they, too, fail.

Here is a quickie sample of my terminal dialog:

(remote)  rz
(local)   ^AS , choose zmodem, then type the name of the file to send

At this point neither remote nor local system will send anything over the
modem.  Both print out a B00000000-type of number and wait.

I've also set RZSZLINE=/dev/ttys0 in my /etc/profile and done an export
RZSZLINE in that file also.  I can type set before I run minicom and the
variable is present.

Anybody got any suggestions pertaining to what I'm doing wrong?  I feel
like I'm missing a step or something.  No doubt there's something little I
missed.

Hello experienced Linuxers,

the beginning of this week I got my first Linux version (0.98p5).
After some minor installation problems, it's time for me to rebuild
the Kernel. I did the following :
- read the README
- make a new .config File with "make config"
- generate new dependencies with "make dep"
  ("make clean" was not necessary after the first try)
- rebuild Image with "make disk"

Oh, happy day - everything worked fine (only my damned 486 needs
more RAM - the make lasts for 45 minutes).
Only a small problem is left :

     I can't boot with the new generates floppy. :-(

Can anybody help me. ".config"-File and boot screen are attached.

Thanks

Has anyone gotten TERM working on Linux yet? I am trying to get X running
across my modem (14.4k v.32bis).  I log into a workstaion over dialup, run term
on that side, then run term on my side redirecting stdin stdout 
("term >/dev/ttyS2 </dev/ttyS2 &" where ttyS2 is my modem) 
then I run trsh.
I get a shell which sortof works, but after only a couple of seconds, it locks
up on me, and I cannot type anything.  I did have time to type ls once, and it
worked, but then it locked up.  If anyone has gotten this to work, let 
me know exactlty what you did, so I can see if I can duplicate it. Do you
think it might have to do with the fact that I connect to my Workstation from
a modem on another server?

I have been having a problem with something like this also.  When running 
xc to dialout occasionally it will start dropping parts of the incoming data.
The only solution I have found is to reboot.  I never had a problem with this
before 0.99p3.
