	While trying to compile the PICO editor, I got as far as the final

I don't have any GCC error listings, and TURBO C++ doesn't seem to have the

  Guy, not just you, me too. One more problem with this release is
no menu abailble (I used to have it on my 0.98 pl2?). If i type

According to the LILO Version 0.8 documentation, the LILO boot sector
can't be stored on the second hard disk.  This is unfortunate, since I
have pretty good reasons for placing my primary Linux file system
partition on the second disk.  Is there any hope that this limitation
might be removed?  (If not, it looks like I will have to give up on LILO

My "8390" ethercard drivers are available via anonymous anonymous FTP

The current version is identical to the late-alpha-test version of a

	Ooops !!  I had forgotten that in my previous post.  This kind of
feature is already included in nefs : the super block contains a valid flag
which is cleared when the file is mounted and set to 1 when it is unmounted.
When checking a fs, nefsck looks at this flag.  If it is set to 1, it only
says that the fs is clean, otherwise it checks the fs.  Note that nefsck
accepts a -f (force) option which allows checking of valid file systems.

I've installed Linux on a Dell 325N laptop.  Most thing seem to work,
but I'm having a couple problem:

1) ps returns the following:

/proc
/proc must be mounted
ps.c:read_globals:uptime: No such file or direcory

The man page indicates that ps -U will update the database, but ps -U
returns:

usage: ps acehjlnrSsuvwx{t<tty>,#}

2) /dev/ttyS0 seems to transmit but not receive.  For example,
  
 cat file >/dev/ttyS0

sends the characters in file to the remote machine, but

  cat /dev/ttyS0

yields nothing when the remote machine sends chars.  Similar problems
occur with kermit.  A stty -a didn't reveal any obvious anomalies.

Any help would be appreciated.

You can. Just hold down a shifting key ([Shift], [Ctrl], etc.) when LILO
is being loaded. If your PC boots too quickly, you can either use the
DELAY variable (in /etc/lilo/config, LILO 0.7 or newer) to let LILO wait
a bit or the PROMPT variable to enter the boot prompt unconditionally.

BTW, this is documented in the README and in doc.tex, section "The boot
prompt".

Ok, what you must do is mount the DOS filesystem. You can do that by:

mount -t msdos /dev/hdxx /mount_point

where 
xx = the partition letter and number of the DOS partition like a1 or a2 or b1
mount_point = an empty directory anywhere in the file system ie. /mnt or /dos

This all assuming that you have msdos filesystem support in your kernel.  If
you do not, you'll have to recompile it.  =)

	Awhile back, I had the same problem with the old

prompt.

locked at 38400 and there is a 16550 on the port.

	Echo is off (E0) and I've tried using all the 'quiet'
modes (0-2).  

	Now, I saved and re-installed my /etc/default/uugetty.* 
files that worked under the old version of SLS, with the following
set:

INIT="" A\p\T\pZ\p\r\n
CONNECT="" ATA\r CONNECT\s \p ""

	I still havent' figured out how to read these, so help
would be appreciated for that :)

	NOTE: the INIT/CONNECT's did work under getty_204 that
I installed on the old release

I got some help with the getty "respawn" problem and a clearer explanation 
of what is going on with getty when you have a hard-wired serial line.

BTW, I ran into the same problem again even with the -h flag set
(I'm using 99pl2) but apparently this is fixed for good on 99pl4.

...(anonymous source, thanks for the help)...

Close.  What actually happens is that when getty starts up, it does a
vhangup() to clean up any messes that the previous login left on the port
--- and a kernel bug in vhangup() causes Linux to hang up the port and kill
the getty.  So another getty spawns, and around and around we go :-)

The 0.99pl4 kernel fixes this.  The "-h" (don't vhangup()) option to getty
works around this, but if the previous login session left anything running
in the background with output to the tty, things can get messy.  (If you
have "stty -tostop", that is.  With "stty tostop" the mess-making program
gets killed instead.  Or at least it should.  I hope vhangup() isn't what
arranges for this... if it is, such a program will be hung until the next
reboot.)

Do you have a 'nobody' entry in /etc/passwd?  I got this error until I
finally read the smail sources or docs carefully enough.

The entry should have username 'nobody', password '*' to disable logins, and an
unpriviliged uid and gid.  [Unless of course smail was compiled for a

	When the author of extfs stops calling it "alpha" and the

Today i tried to compile gzip-0.8.1. Everything worked fine except for
the assembler file. The file match.S is preprocessed by cpp with
the following command:
/lib/cpp -DUNDERLINE match.S > _match.s

When trying to compile the _match.s-file with gcc, the following
2 messages occur:
match.s:51: invalid character '_' in opcode
match.s:63: invalid character '_' in opcode

Looking at the file _match.s leads to the lines

    _match_init :
and 
    _longest_match :

Removing the blank between the label and the colon leads to a successful 
compilation.
Another bug concerns the following code:
 add     $window+2,%edi
This leads to an error while linking. The symbol window must be replaced with
_window. There are to locations where these replacement isn't done by
cpp.
Both situations work right on a sun.

Is it possibly a bug in cpp for linux?

If I don't wait long enough, the new version will still be badly bug-ridden.

If I wait too long, the new version will be replaced by a newer version.


How do I know when to grab it?

I have put my driver for the Sony CDU-31A CDROM drive on
sunsite.unc.edu in the incoming directory.  This will drive the newer
Sony interface (not SCSI) drives for audio and data.  It is named
sonycd-0.2.tar.Z.  This fixes many problems with the 0.1 driver.

I just talked with Sony (after finishing the driver) and they say this
will NOT work with the older CDU-535.  The CDU-31A is Sony's newer
bigger faster better drive that came out recently.  I am getting the
programmer's manual for the 535, but I'm not holding my breath about
compatibility.  If someone wants to try it out with a CDU-535, I would
like to hear the results.  I will try to add support for the 535 in
future versions, but since I don't have one, I can't promise anything.

The 0.1 version include xcdplayer; if you want that you will also
need to get sonycd-0.1.tar.Z
