I checked out freeze 2.3.5. It is too slow, takes about six times longer than
compress on a 100k file on my 386sx-16 with 4 MB RAM. I don't think I will use
it. As for zoo, zip and others, I don't need anything but compresser in them.
Can we just modify those and make them just handle one file? zip is too big
for me.

It is possible to cross compile from the existing GCC simply build it 
configured for go32.  then you need the 1.94 binutils so that you can
make a cross linker.  Nothing to it. Who wants to port the 1.94
binutils.

Hello *,

   I got hold of Hlu's 3rootdisk and tried to boot it from my b: drive, after
using b_boot.exe.  The boot process was redirected to the b: drive properly
and it seemed to be doing everything fine.  The system recognized the partitions

The /var/spool/mail directory on our SPARCserver clusters is also 1777.
It's not much of a security hole as long as a mailbox exists for each
user that is at least length 0 and is chmod'ed 600.

Assuming the above holds true, nobody can delete, read, or write to other
people's mailboxes.  All you could do is create a new file in the directory,
which doesn't seem to be very harmful...

    if (user.home)

I installed X from SLS last night. so I figured I'd go ahead and run it.

I didn't know how to start X, so I change over to /usr/X386/bin and I
find X and X386mono.

I type X at the command line and I get this:

Creating tcp socket: Invalid argument

Fatal server error. Could not establish tcp listening socket

What in the world is going on. I found the mouse testing program and 
ran it, and my mouse is recognized under linux (thank God).

I have a Trident 1 meg 8900 chipset card, so I know X should run.

What do I do?

How do I start X?

Is there a config file I should know about?

Is there anything else I should know about X? I'm installing from SLS.

Thank you.

I also have 2400 baud modem, so here is what I do.
If the package/program is small I just download it with "kermit".
Run kermit in one screen and do other things (like compiling stuff) in other 
screen. Get kermit.

If the package is big, like gcc, the I just go to the university and
download it to a 1.44 Meg MS-DOS disk from our Suns.
Using 'mcopy' I can copy the files from the MS-DOS disk to Linux.
So get 'mtools' package. Since I am using MS-DOS disk, I have to change
the name of the files. For example Linux-0.98.tar.Z I rename it to
linux098.TZ

I hope that helps

With the new jump table libraries around, I have tried to get
all new versions of the system commands. Unfortunately, many times
they do not unpack in the same manner as the old 0.97.1 
root disk. This results in multiple files, not just the new file over
writing the outdated one.

Is there perhaps a standard that I can use to organize /bin and /usr/bin?
My goal is to create my own rootdisk in case of system crash, etc.

Thanx alot guys. <----- no sexism intended :)

Seems that many people are having problems with X and the .98p1
kernel in SLS.  Can one of you get the .98p0 kernel, and 
try runninx X from it?  If it is just that, I will roll back
to the previous kernel. 

Also, I found another problem with install.  It seems that soft
links must be relative, not absolute, so that installing
from a mounted drive doesn't look starting from root.  
Get the newest a4/zafix.taz or Perms.fix.

lharc is the old name for lha. lha can handle lharc archives but not vice-versa.
The sources for lha are on tsx-11.mit.edu in pub/linux/sources/usr.bin/Archiversand is called lha-1.00.tar.Z

 Sure it is, it took 16 seconds, in stead of over a minute.  Time is money.
You've saved a whopping 60K of space, for an extra minute of time.

 Consider that a floppy holds 1.4Megs and costs $1.  The storage costs
60K/1440K*1 = 4.2 cents. (US figures, BTW)

 Now, consider that it took an extra minute.  Even if we look at paying
ourselves $4/hour, it's cost us an extra 6.7 cents.  We have a final
figure that zooing the file cost us an extra 2.5 cents.

 Remember a penny saved, is a penny earned.

 Now consider if you were worth more than minimum wage...

 I won't even make up any figures for hpack, I simply won't wait that
long for a file compression to take place.

This is GNU C/C++ 2.2.2 (Linux version 2.2.2d7). It is linked with
jump table 4.1. You should use it with the Linux C library disks since
the C/C++ compiler has no shared images, which are required by all the
binaries in it. It has 2 minix disks. It can fit in either 5.25" or
3.5" floppy.

It is on tsx-11.mit.edu under pub/linux/GCC/gccdisk


A. Disk 1 (222d7a.Z)

It has gcc, cpp, cc1 and crt0.o/gcrt0.o. Some header files are in
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.2.2d/include.

B. Disk 2 (222d7b.Z)

It has cc1plus.

To install them on your hard drive.

1. uncompress base[1|2|3].Z.
2. rawrite or dd it to a floppy disk.

Now you have made a copy of gcc 2.2.2d7 on floppy. To copy it to
your hd, you should mount the floppy first and copy the disk. That is

mount /dev/fd[0|1] /mnt
cd /mnt
for d in bin dev etc usr
do
  if [ -d $d ]; then
    cp -av $d /
  fi
done

Note: This may overwrite some files on your hard disk.

Thanks.

Being an utter newbie in system administration, I'm having problems

telnetting to any other host inserted in hosts, I get the response
"network unreachable ...", while telnetting to loopback results in
a named error.

I'm sorry but I simply don't know what to do. Could please someone
be so kind to give me informations how to configure that architecture:

- A simple Host without net access to outer nets
- telnetting just to loopback

If someone could send me a correct named.boot or give me sufficient

I may be wrong, but isn't the 1522 a PIO device, while the 1542 is a DMA

So here'e the question your average Linux user has...

	HOW DO WE FIX IT? 

or alternately, 

	Does anyone have a "fixed" termcap for the linux std consoles?
	If you do, either post it if it's small or put it up for FTP
	somewhere or have it put on the new rootdisks...

I have an extfs partition for linux and a 64Mb partition set as swap.
I have updated from 0.97p2 to 0.98 and now when I boot up I get the message 
adding swap 16380k.

The boot message tells me that the partition table is ok and the patition
size is 131072 (blocks I assume). So where has the remaining 48Mb gone ?

BTW even with 0.97p2 the message "magic match failed" was reported 
between "partition table ok" and the linux version number.
Can anyone tell me what causes this ?

Can anyone tell me what the format is for "filename" in
mkfs -l filename.

Or... a pointer to the source of mkfs
