Recompile while making sure that stdlib.h is included in all
source-files, and that NO_FIX_MALLOC is not defined. That is at least
what I understood some time ago, it could have changed in the mean
time. The bug results from trying to allocate 0 bytes of storage. GNU
malloc denies this, and olvwm thinks there is no memory left.

In stdlib.h there is a 'malloc' macro, wich calls the malloc()
function with an argument of 1 instead of 0 in this case. This kludge
wastes a byte of memory, but seems to work.

According to the bash man page, .profile is only sourced if you are coming
in from a login shell. I believe you can tell xterm to use the -ls option
to simulate a login shell. 

Or, you can invoke bash with the -login option.

Reply-To: DMEGGINS@acadvm1.uottawa.ca

Date: Thu, 7 Jan 1993 12:51:06 GMT

I would like to know a little bit about how Linux printer drivers
work before I put together my final system to run Linux.  A 300 dpi
page takes a little over 1MB to map out.  Does the printer driver
grab a MB of real or virtual memory from my machine and do the work
there, or do I _have_ to have a lot of RAM in my printer?  I know
that the Apple Stylewriter has no RAM, and the the Mac just draws
parts of the page in its own memory, then sends them out.

The point is that I want to buy an inexpensive printer for the Linux
system which I am putting together, as long as it is at least
300x300 dpi and can handle at least 3-4 ppm.  Please give me as
much technical information on the drivers as you can -- I am a
former Minix kernel hacker, and am not afraid of the tech stuff.

That's strange as I got the C2 disk from the same place as the others. I
did notice that I got a bad CRC when I tried unpacking it manually.
Maybe I should grab the file again and see what happens.

Have any suggestions on installing just one disk instead of doing the

ok.... I guess this should be a FAQ...  I am still confused about what
computer I should buy... I have gotten Linux and X to work on 7 of my
friend's computers..  now its time for me to buy mine... The questions
is what will work.

Eisa vs Local Bus:

I am told that Linux now support EISA (correct me if I am wrong)
so therefore I should get a Adaptec SCSI 32-bit controller????
or I have also heard that Linux only works with 16-bit disk controllers.
and that the Adaptec run in 16 bit mode... but work in 32 bit mode under
dos...  (please correct me anytime)..
and hopefully Linux will support 32-bit disk access later were the
full capabilities of the controller will come in handy???
To tell you the truth I am not even sure that the Adaptec is a 32-bit
card.

My next option if EISA dont work is local bus disk control??? will Linux
take advantage of this??

Any finally ofcourse is the question about video speed.
EISA or Local bus taking into account the above disk controller questions.

     I just started using Linux (0.98pl5) and have had good luck with it so

but still can't get it to work.  I have a 486DX-40, 5meg RAM, Trident VGA

     Do I have enough RAM to get X-Windows running?  Is my VGA card "good

how do I change it)?
     At first, I got some error messages, but after editing the Xconfig
file (that came with the distribution), I don't get those errors anymore,
but the screen goes blank.  I can type stuff (say, ls > /dev/lp1) and it
works, but I can't see it.  I also checked the /etc/termcap file to make

According to a recent comparison published by AMD, AMD's 386-40 runs about
neck-and-neck with a 25 MHz Cyrix 486DLC (which is itself a little slower
than a comparable Intel 486).  The chips' speeds were rated in MIPS (around 10)
and using the Landmark rating (don't remember this one).  I would imagine that
the Intel 486-33 would be noticeably faster due to its on-board 8K cache and
pipelined architecture.  But 386-40s are tough to beat from a price-vs.-
performance standpoint.

Just my opinion, but you might be better off getting a 386-40, lots of RAM
(X is a pig; 8 megs is workable, I hear 16 megs is better), and a fast
SVGA card (if you have any money left over ;-) )

Get away from that machine! Don't you know its full of Pentium?!

(Apologies to whomever's .sig I stole this from)

The answer to your questions seems to be both yes and no...
I am told, that there will be an P5 upgrade for the 486 "overdrive" slot.

The bad news is that since the P5 has a greater number of pins, the upgrade
chip will be partially disabled and thus, not be as fast as a real 
honest-to-goodness (drum roll please) pentium.

I've progressed to the point that I'd like to attach my printer to
my Linux box, and I've come across a problem, where to come up with
a printcap entry for a LJ-II, the default one that came with my SLS
version was for a Panasonic as I recall.  I can send plain text to
the printer with cat, so the channel is open, but I was attempting
to figure out how to use LaTex to print out some documents, no manual
page, and no readable documentation for it, how does a body get "kick-
started" with LaTex?  I don't see much in any of the FAQ's about
printing with Linux in general, or LaTex in particular.  How much of
the 10 megabytes of LaTex do I really need just to print documents?
I did notice that there is no spooler capability now, other than the
fact that you could have conflicting jobs, what effect does that have,
it seems I could just print from a different virtual console, no?
I have a foot high stack of Unix books of various flavors, very little
is mentioned about the printcap entries, is this a "black art" like
the termcap entries? :-)

In view of all the apparent frustration by the maintainers of faq's and

Someone hinted to me that 'define' the host name means a command
'hostname <hostname>'. I did that and indeed, now the install.net
script inserts my hostname where it used to have 'softland' before.
But alas, next time I boot there is again 'softland' for hostname!
So. how can I make my hostname permanent, please? I may have more problems
but there is no hope before I can clear this one.

Besides, I refuse, to this point, to 'compile' anything because I don't want
to get into trouble with gcc. Personally I will never make use of gcc for
my work. So I changed the settings of my WD8013 card to the default values,
assuming that this is a valid approach. (the description which comes with
the SLS package mentions changing parameters in linux/net/Makefile but truely
I cannot find this path/file anywhere on my disk).

I have installed SLS just before christmas and I have found two bugs
- Sometimes, when I boot, the keyboard does not respond.  It seems to
  be completely random whether this happens or not.  Background processes
  still run, I once put "(sleep 10;ps xal)&" and it runs fine,
  but not even ALT-Fn worked.  When the moon is in the correct position :-)
  I can log in without problems.
- I have "xdm -nodaemon < /etc/console" in my rc.local and it works
  for two sessions.  After the second logout the screen goes wild.


I also have two questions:
- The "time" prefix complains and I heard that the solution is to
  recompile.  Where can I find the sources?
- Some time ago somebody at the University of Glasgow posted an article
  that he ported LML, glhc and Gofer to linux.  This question is only
  for people at dcs.glasgow.  I tried download these packages
  from ftp.dcs.glasgow.ac.uk but I get the response:

Connected to vanuata.dcs.glasgow.ac.uk.
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection

  How can I get LML, glhc and Gofer for linux, I do not want to
  do the porting all over again.

Thanks in advance,
Mark Ramaer
