I've just installed this SLS version over the weekend.  Other
than typical newbe problems, things went perfectly for the
full system.  The only problems I found were:

  1) Several size zero files... This could have been a result of 
     Apple File-Exchange

  2) The file tex-manpg.tpz on T2 has one too many letters in its
     name.

  3) For some reason my linux refused to install the T disks
     with sysinstall -disk.  However, I was able to manually
     install these disks one package at a time.  Maybe this
     was caused by the same thing that caused Richard's problem?

  4) There is no documentation of what the D disks are for...

Not a bug in cpp.  This is a consequence of ANSI C.  If you don't want

No.  GCC allows $ in an identifier unless told otherwise.  The command
to prevent this is "/lib/cpp -$".  GCC does this automatically when
invoking cpp on assembly files.

This is not really a weakness in GCC's cpp but in gzip's configure.
Until this is improved, here are some ways to configure gzip.

$ CPP="gcc -E -traditional" ./configure prefix=/usr

or

$ CPP="/lib/cpp -$ -traditional" ./configure prefix=/usr

I have managed to get the SLS distribution up and running on my 386 PC
without much difficulty.  However, I have tried to play around with the
ghostscript executable that is part of the SLS distribution, and am
having a little trouble with it.

Ghostscript will print to the printer, and the output is almost correct,
but bands of the text are shifted right by one or two pixels.  The
printer is a Panasonic KXP-2123 (24 pin dot matrix), and I was wondering
if anyone else had experienced this same behavior.

E-mail would be appreciated to cut down on the bandwidth.

    Thanks very much

Subject: gnu cpp doesn't like my imake template files.

Organization: Dept. of Neuroscience, U. of Pennsylvania


Hi,

The imake template files (e.g. Imake.tmpl) under X in the SLS .99p2
distribution begin with something like this:

#define XCOMM #


XCOMM here are some comments
XCOMM here are some comments
XCOMM here are some comments
.
.
.

trying to define a comment macro with the preprecessor. If I use the
gnu cpp to process any imake template files, I get an error that says
something like:

cpp: # no command follows macro identifier (or something)

It looks like the cpp insists that only cpp commands follow a naked #
symbol. However, escaping the # symbol seems to solve the problem-- e.g.

#define XCOMM \#

then produces comment lines where XCOMM macro appears. Can anyone tell
me why the template files that come with the system don't work for me?
Any clues would be much appreciated.

The problem is installing it and then maybe using it as a 20meg drive.
Linux doesn't want to install itself, because it doesn't recognize the

    It bugs ME when people make blithe assumptions like this.  It IS a
    problem unique to Linux, specifically to gcc2.3.3 version of g++
    under linux.  I had been using g++ successfully under gcc2.2.2d,
    and found this problem when I upgraded to 2.3.3.  You give the
    solution below (use -static or -nojump flags).  I was looking
    through the documentation, assuming I'd overlooked something, but

I recently moved my stuff into a new case, and in the process

Seagate SCSI BIOS Revision 3.3
scsi host adapter failure.

Needless to say, I want to know a little more about what is wrong, 
since I am in need of this adapter to get my tapedrive going.

I defined the necessary DEBUG's in st.c and seagate.c and 
away I went.  At boot, the kernel reports:

scsi: 1 hosts
scsi1: phase = BUS FREE
(ad nauseam)

In seagate_st0x_reset()
scsi bus reset
scsi1: phase = BUS FREE

scsi detected 0 tapes etc.

So, is the ST01 really dead?  Can anyone suggest further caourse
of action?  Any more debugging I can do?

	My problem isn't exactly a Linux one, but it's one encountered
as a result of certain hardware changes I've been making to make Linux
happy.  I'd been running a Trident based VGA card, but since Linux seems
to annoyed by it - or rather, X under Linux is annoyed - I got an
ET-4000 Hi-color based card the otehr day.  HOWEVER, it won't go.  It
seems to work in other machines, but not mine.  I pulled all cards but
the serial card and the drive controller - first I was using my SCSI
controller but then I replaced it with an ESDI to run the drive Linux is
on - and the machine won't boot.
	It's a generic 386-25 motherboard w/ 8Mb RAM and AMI BIOS.  With
the ET4000 card in it fires up, reports 1Mb VRAM, does a RAM check, and
then just sits there, not even getting to the next thing where AMI BIOS
puts up that table telling you what's in the machine.  I have turned off
all BIOS shadows and oddities, pulled the etehrnet card and the CDROM
controller, and tried several drive controllers.  I can't imagine how it
could possibly be conflicting with the ohnly remianing thing, the IO
card.  There is a setting on the video card to tell it not to use or to
use IRQ 2 - weird to me, but it's there - and I've tried itboth ways.
Any ideas?

But IMHO, this is not really a good trick. As the wm runs on the host
machine, the informations that transit over the net are considerably
larger than in the case where mwm is on your Linux machine.

Am I wrong?

The other solution to have mwm on your Linux is to buy the mwm sources

better way under Linux.  To make a short story shorter, I'll just say that the MSDOS partition has been erased... TOTALLY!

I have done both.  The latest SLS release seems to have fixed the problem
with not recognizing the 1742.  H.J.'s bootable root disk is a fine product
too, but I would not recommend mixing SLS with GCC boot unless you like
finding a lot of redundant utilities (duplicates).

special IDE controllers. MSDOS seems to have no problem acknowledging the
existence of the second hard drive. I've devoted most of the IDE to DOS but
I would like to mount a small Linux extended partition on it. If anyone knows
how to get Linux to acknowledge the second hard drive's existence, please let
me know? I have the port address its controller card and the memory address 
of the card's BIOS. Please forward all responses to this question via email
if possible. Thanks in advance! =)
