ELM was working fine for me with 98p5 + Image from 98.6 but now that I have

ELM states that there is no password entry for every user except ROOT. What

No need to wait.  Get ka9q from tsx-11 or wherever and away you go.
Remote X11, telnet, ftp, ping...  What more can you ask for?  All
without even compiling tcpip into the kernel.

If you think this is a good idea then start a company to do just that.

In normal C programs, yes, but the kernel is a bit special.  Like, for
instance, who is going to do the initialization?  Normally it is the
kernel (which zeroes out all memory before it is given to a user
process), the linker (which loads the pre-initialized variables from a
file, i.e. those variables which are given an explicit initializer),
and possbily the C startup code.  Trouble is, none of these are active
when the kernel is booting...

	That sounds like a good idea, but perhaps using inode #1 for this
purpose might be better. I see most unices use inode #2 as the root of
the filesystem, so if we could make the extfs follow that standard, it
would make things more compatible. (yeah I know not that much stuff
messes with inode numbers, but still, it might be a good idea. One
example I have heard of (for other unices) is a program which switches
numeric uid's of files on the raw fs, which could be useful if on needs
to change uids if one is going on NFS or something. It uses the raw fs
so it doesn't mess with the access/modification/change times.)

 Two questions, would appreciate any feedback-
 
 1) I'm the proud owner of one of those damned SBPRO Cd-ROM drives... Are 
there any plans for LINUX support for it? One wouldn't think it would be too 
hard to drive, as the "base" SCSI code is already present... If you don't

to get ahold of to do it?
 
 2) I'm currently hooking my 486 and 386 together with LANTASTIC to give the 
386 (my BBS computer) access to the CD-ROM on the 486... What's the 
feasability of emulating netbios so the 386 can keep using the Cd-ROM when

Subject: ANNOUNCE: New XT disk driver
Organization: Curtin University of Technology
Date: Tue, 15 Dec 1992 15:24:27 GMT


This is a short note to annouce the second release of the XT hard disk 
drivers for Linux. This set of patches is for Linux 0.99 (pl0) and should
be available on tsx-11 under /pub/linux/ALPHA/xtdisk/xtdisk2.tar.Z and 
/pub/linux/ALPHA/xtdisk/README.xtdisk.

Just a brief introduction: this driver allows you to use XT-style (8 bit) 
hard drive controllers. The advantage of these is that you can use them in 
conjunction with normal AT-style (16 bit) controllers, IDE drives and SCSI 
drives. The major problem with them is the fact that they are very slow, so 
swapping to one of these controllers/disks is not reccomended <grin>.

So, if you have some old MFM or RLL disks that you'd like to use, and you 
can get hold of a suitable XT controller, you can now make use of them 
under Linux. Please email me if you have any questions about this...

The driver now attempts to auto-detect XT controllers and will also try to 
read the disk geometry if it knows how. At the moment, support for this is 
quite minimal, and I would appreciate it if anyone who had one of these 
cards and is using or planning on using the driver could contact me so I 
can add more support.

I have shrunk my DOS partition and added a Linux/minix part
and a linux swap part.
i set up the linux swap part to start right after
the DOS part (part 1; /dev/hda1)... it is named /dev/hda3
and i configured it as size +4M...
i assumed this would give me 4096K, but the size is listed as 4169+
i can only assume that sizes are not listed in Kbytes

Q1. What does it mean when the size is followed by a '+'?
Q2. What is the significance of the "Warning: partition X has an odd
    number of sectors." message?

The size of the Linux partition is listed as 47124 (I just made it
equal to the rest of the drive).

Q3. What should I type to make a swap?  (I have 2M RAM)
    I figured it should either be "mkswap /dev/hda3 4096"
    or "mkswap /dev/hda3 4169"
    or maybe even "mkswap /dev/hda3 4169+".
Q4. What should I use as the size argument for mkfs?
    I figured "mkfs /dev/hda2 47124".

Okay, so I did all of those things (I used 4096 for mkswap).
Then I typed "doinstall /dev/hda2"
It asked for disk a2 in the floppy drive and it was already there
so I pressed return.
It said "Installing bin4..."
I don't know how long this is supposed to take, but it sat there for
five minutes with the display unchanged.
The floppy drive whirred at the beginning but not after.
The HDD activity light blink fairly rythmically.
It sounded like the HD was spinning but that was all (no click click
of the heads moving back and forth).

Q5. The SLS README doesn't seem to say this, but do I have to reboot
    again after I "mkfs /dev/hda2"?

BTW:  I forgot to mention it, but I _did_ type "swapon /dev/hda3" before
I started the "doinstall".



tnx to anyone who takes the time to help me.

although I did notice in 98p6 that ps no longer shows the command line

Subject: Linux/LILO and Sector Size !!!!!! Help
Date: 13 Dec 92 20:57:06 GMT
Organization: TRN Porting Labs

Hello,

Last week I first installed Linux on my HD, and it worked
very well from the beginning (using SLS with kernel 0.98pl1).

Normally I'm using OS/2, so I wanted to be able to boot
Linux without floppy via the bootmanager. I read the faq
and got the lilo 0.6 package. (I also got kernel 0.98pl5)

Disk paritioning:

/dev/sda4  primary C:  OS/2 HPFS   ~270MB
/dev/sda5  log.             FAT    ~32MB
/dev/sda6  log.        Linux ext.  ~50MB
/dev/sda7  log.        Linux swap  ~25MB
/dev/sda8  log.        Linux ext.  ~27MB

I'm using a 420MB SCSI disk via adaptec 1542B

/etc/lilo/disktab
shows  for 0x80 64 heads, 32 sec/cyl. and 202 cyl.
That would be correct, assuming a sectorsize of 1024 Bytes.

After compiling and installing lilo I tried the following 
command:

/etc/lilo [root]# lilo -b /dev/sda6 -i boot.b -v -v -v /vmlinux

/vmlinux is the new kernel pl5 I compiled a few minutes before.

lilo complains that a cylinder (329) is beyond the end of the disk.

The complete systems seams to assume, that the disk is initialized
with 512 bytes per sector. The system works correctly, shows
correct values when using df ....

So what's wrong. fdisk still tells me that I should set the
values for heads.., I didn't do that until now, because
I don't know the really correct settings. fdisk also displays
the beginning of the partitions on cylinder 309 and 349, so
linux seams to run with the following settings for the harddrive:
64 heads  32 sectors/cylinder  404 cylinders and  512 bytes per sector

If I set the disktab setting for cylinders from 202 to 404, lilo
installs the boot sector, and I can start the partition from
the OS/2 bootmanager, but the disk tries to seek to 404, which is
not available, so I ctrl-alt-del'd as soon as recognizing this
noise  **huuh** :-<.

I changed a setting SECTOR_SIZE (or so) in the lilo-source
from 512 to 1024 and recompiled lilo, but that did not help 
against complaining that a sector is out of range (also changed
back the disktab setting to 202 cylinders).

My scsi disk (or the adaptec controller) seams to translate
the real settings of the disk (which I don't know) to 
64 heads, 202 cylinders, 32 sectors per cylinder with
1024 bytes per sector.

What can I do??????


Please help

Thanx in advance

[it's me again]

BTW, i have the 'of' field of the printcap removed and i was using a test printer
in my printcap for testing, like:

test:lp=/tmp/lp_test:sd=/usr/spool/test:lf=/dev/console:

Also, anyone's got a printcap for HP LaserJet IIIP ?
