Before I purchase new equipment I would like to know what
brands/models are most compatible with linux and what equipment
will have performance advantages that linux will take advantage
of.  Specifically...
 
Equipment:
 
Multi-port Serial card.
Ethernet card for tcp-ip.
Hard drive controller card (scsi).
Tape drive.
SVGA card for X-windows.
 
Does the monitor matter for X-windows and if so what
specifications are necessary?
 
Are internal modems recommended against?  if so is it because of
incompatibility or because they take up a slot/irq?
 
Does SCSI-2 have more functionalty and if so does linux take
advantage of this?
 
 
I didn't find sar on the SLS distribution.  Do they exist if so
where?
 
 
Also I would like to know if the following programs exist for
linux.  If they do exist could you please tell me where to find
them via ftp.
 
Programs:
 
Dbase- (would this be ingres?  If so does ingres work on linux?)
Desktop publisher-
Spreadsheet-
 
 
If you have a answer to any of these please mail me (I'm running
a little behind on my newsgroup reading).
 
I pre-apologize for everything that I ever said so no need to
flame me :)

Summary: Linux: system failure - HD format - HELP - SOS


Major problems using Linux and a C-Compiler on a 486.

My system comprises of the following:
- 486 DX 50
- 8 MB RAM
- approx. 340 MB Hard-disk
- ET 4000 SVGA
- etc...

I  managed to install Linux (0.98) without major problems and even got 
X11 to run - so first of all: Thanks to all, who made it possible
to have a FREE Unix running on a PC. - Its great (so far...)
(Using shoelace and OS/2 boot manager I manage to boot all three OSs from HD)

NOW: since I use a german keyboard I tried to recompile the kernel !!!

Having read all available FAQs, READMEs and what else I could find, 
I changed all necessary files and started cc. (I also tried using
the -m486 flag)

Well, I got the following error message:

  in /usr/src/linux/kernel/chr_drv:
  I did a: touch *.c *.h
  then a: make dep
  followed by a: make
  THE RESULT:
	 cc -c tty_io.c
	 cc -c console.c
	 console.c: In function 'scrup':
	 console.c: 360: fixed or forbidden register was spilled
	 This may be due to a compiler bug or to impossible asm statements.
	 make: ***[console.o] Error 1

  in /usr/src/linux/kernel:
  I did a: touch *
  a: make dep
  followed by a: make
  THE RESULT:

         ...... The system died..... for a long long time....

	 I had to boot the system from floppy and 
		FORMAT my hard-disk !!!!!!!!!!!!!

  After about 8 hours of reinstalling DOS, OS/2 and (believe it or not)
  Linux (0.96 !!!) I tried it again - same error messages

  Using the version 2.2.2d I received similar messages and could not 
  compile the kernel.

  Since then I have not attempted to recompile the kernel and would 
  realy like to find out what caused this "error".

  I have written small C programs which were compiled perfectly,
  but since there are so many patches, versions, READMEs etc. and 
  NO compiler package, it might be an error in my Linux setup. 

Any hints are appreciated - using a streamer for my DOS-stuff allows 
me to reinstall my system now within two hours, so I am still willing
to experiment. :-)

Any mail should be sent to the news group or directly to me

I followed this, IMHO brilliant advice, and it works great.
Apart from starting up X more reliably X starts up slightly faster.
(The clock detection apparently took some time.)

However, I first put the `clock' keyword and the associated string of clocks
immediately above the video timing specification section (seemed logical!).
This didn't have any effect!
(I use the Xconfig that comes with the linux specific X-dist.)

The reason for this is that the clock keyword appears to be specific to a
particular server,  e.g. mono or colour.  If you use the colour server you
must put the clock spec in the colour server config section (not the mono).

Well, this might be obvious, but it kept me wondering a couple of minutes.
(The original poster stated that the keyword should
 be /somewhere/ in Xconfig.)
 
Hope this helps someone!

(This might be a generic X386-question but atleast I'm *using* Linux :-)

Has anyone found a way to fix this without using the reboot command???


Also, how does one kill xdm??????

can anyone offer any help?

i also tried something i grabbed from compuserve.  xc 3.3

is SIGSYS is undefined or something.

lastly, besides these two, are there any term programs available 
under linux so i dont have to keep booting up dos just to

You can also delete the link and create the directory /usr/src/linux.

The problem here is that these files go into directories under emacs
and emacs is installed later. The fix is to reinstall 'uucp' once
you have installed emacs.

I don't believe this will work.  From everything I know, it will *not* work
but seeing as I haven't tried it myself I can't say for sure.

Here's what I do:

1. Format the (four, in your case) floppies with the following:
% fdformat -d /dev/rfd0
Press return to start formatting floppy.
.............................................................................

2. Get the boot and root files to floppy:
% ls
a1        a2        a3/        a4/
(insert a floppy)
% dd if=a1 of=/dev/fd0
% eject
(insert another floppy)
% dd if=a2 of=/dev/fd0
% !ej

3. Get several files in a3 & a4 directories to floppy on DOS FS (must either
be root to use mount, or have a sysadmin write a wrapper for mount):
(insert another floppy)
% su
Password:
# mount -t pcfs /dev/fd0 /pcfs
# cd a3
# cp * /pcfs
# umount /pcfs
# !ej
(insert another floppy) 
# !mou
# cd ../a4
# !cp
# !umou
# !ej

Bear in mind that some have found that it takes a long time to write these
diskettes.  For me, on a SS1+, it takes ~10 minutes to write an almost-full
diskette.

An alternative would be to use mtools.  I have not, but some say it works
quite well.

	The latest version, particularly with arguments -g -g, is much

  If your zip doesn't support file hierarchies you have a relic. I like
zoo, my name is on a lot of stuff in it, and I'm the author of the

better compression, and is far more popular in spite of the ghastly user

groups, with separate options, and it really shows, I plead guilty to

  I use zoo personally, too, because versions are really useful (and I
have a munged version which is a lot faster than the production
release). But the world has gone with zip and I'm not going to waste
time fighting it, particularly since Rahul is doing other things and
isn't actively releasing new zoo versions, even incorporating

  Archives of individual package sources don't need this, and won't have
it unless you extract as root, anyway. And zoo/zip'd tar files are
seriously smaller than compressed tars. Hell, freeze is better than
compress, and essentially a drop in replacement. People don't use that
much, either.

This is simplicity in itself.  To correct your termcap you need to edit
the /etc/termcap file and remove the insert character capability from
your terminal.  For example, change the

        :ic=\E[@:                (whatever the string actually is)
to be
        :ic=:                    (no value after the '=')

The ":im=\E[4h:ei=\E[4l:" strings are already there.

Hello the Linux world!

Hopefully this is a very simple problem that someone can easily answer. I
racked my brains last night til 2am and then gave up!

I'm trying to hook up a Hewlett Dumb Terminal to Linux via an RS232 lead.
The inittab file has the entry-:

ttys0:dumb:ttys0 9600

or something similar (brain dead since last night)

and in the rc I have put the line in-:

setserial /dev/ttys0 0x2F8 3

This sets up the COM2 port. *BUT* when I reboot I get nothing on the dumb
terminals screen. I created a user terminal with no password and typed
'terminal' on the dumb terminal. This logged in the user but if you typed
'terminal' again, it logged in another user on ttys1. 

What's going on?

Any help muchly appreciated!

which boots the hard drive. (My HD has linux and DOS on it)

I read the FAQ's and I have some questions:

I have linux installed already. Should I reinstall with SLS 0.98 or what?

I know there are many items available for linux (compilers,editors, etc.),
but how do I get them to my home PC. Do I have to rawrite them to a floppy
so linux can write them or what?

About tape drives: I think I posted this question before, but I didn't receive
an answer about it. Can I use my Jumbo 120 tape drive by Colorado Memory
Systems with linux? I like having the tape backup my DOS partition, so I
figure it would be a good idea to run the tape drive to backup linux

How do you backup linux?

Also, how do find out how much disk space you have left on your hard drive?

<whew>

My configuration is as follows:

386-33DX clone
4 meg Ram
Trident 8900 video card (SVGA) w/1 meg of video ram
106 meg IDE (50% DOS, 50% linux)
Citizen GSX-130 printer attached to LPT1
Serial MS-Compatible mouse attached to COM1 (I haven't got that mouse to
work with linux)

That's all.

P.S. I plan to run X-windows (Xfree, I think) Are there any problems that
I should be aware of?

Thank you all for turning somebody on to the best Intel-based operating
system that money can buy!
