  Macintoshes require you to do a "shutdown" before power-off (or, on
Mac II's, to CAUSE the power-off), so I hardly think you can argue
that common people can't understand the concept.

  Perhaps an X command which stops x, syncs, halts, and prints "it is
now safe to turn off your computer" would be a good idea, though.

Hi.  I have a second hand 3COM Etherlink II TP.  I understand that
Linux tcpip requires memory mapped ethernet cards.  From looking
at the jumpers on the card, it seems that the board is memory
mapped.  My question then is, can I use this card with Linux?
It has an I/O base 300 and memory base D8000 by default.  Can
I just change the values in Space.c and use it?  I am told that
it is a 16k card.

I know nothing about this board because I have no manual.  If you
have ever heard of this card or are using one, please post. 

Also, is anyone successfully using an ethernet board other than
the WD8003, WD8013, or SMC Elite 16?  Since WD no longer sells
cards to my knowledge, my options are quite limited.

Many thanks in advance.

I personally think that another essential for mass-usage is going to
be a filesystem that doesn't require sync() or fsck.  This isn't an
impossible task, and yes, there is a performance hit, but I don't
think you are going to sell a system to the masses that they can't

Please reply via email to:  jay@prometheus.idec.sdl.usu.edu

Has anyone had success getting X to run on a Packard-Bell system?  
Specifically, I have a PB 8528SV monitor and a vanilla Oak
OTI 067 chipset SVGA board running in a PB 386DX-33 with 4 meg
RAM.  I have a 64 meg MS-DOS partition and a 64 meg Linux 
partition loaded with the SLS Linux 0.98pl4 release 
(a, b, c, & x disks from tsx-11.mit.edu).

I've read the readme's in /usr/X386/lib/X11 and I understand the
concepts, but I recently moved and cannot locate my monitor
spec sheet to get the sync rates.  Additionally, my video board 
document is virtually worthless -- providing no information 
beyond the bare-bones setup stuff.  The oscillator on the 
board is stamped with the number 4.31818 -- I presume that is 
the frequency of the board in MHz.

I tried both the 640 x 480 VGA mode and the mono mode, but I 
was apparently doing something wrong, since I got either 
distorted garbage or nothing on the screen when I ran startx.  
The first message I get when X dies is:

	"Creating TCP Socket:  Invalid Argument"

Is this significant?  Do I need to recompile the kernel to
include TCPIP?  (Don't laugh... I've never done it :-)

I'd sure like to have some tutoring on this X thang.  Any
and all help appreciated.

Hi,

I have a big problem with the built-in getty.

My inittab contains the line :

    ttys1:vt100:/etc/getty 9600 ttys1

Normally should the terminal connected to COM2 (this is ttys1 on my
system) show the login prompt. But nothing happened !!

When i start getty from the shell with getty 9600 tty1, it 
returns "HangUp".

The extern terminal is another PC connected with a serial cable and
and null-modem connector (2-3,3-2,4-5,5-4 ...).

I've tried getty_ps and it works after i typed in 
"/bin/getty ttys1 9600". But is very boring to initialize the terminal
with this sequence.

What can i do ?

Set your Adaptec to simulate a certain number of sectors per track and
tracks per cylinder (usually 16:63).  Then use those values.  Since SCSI
doesn't convey drive geometry information, but BIOS requires it (yuck), you
have to tell Linux what the BIOS believes.

No, Brad McLean did the 174x support.  Based on Tommy Thorn's 154x driver + 
Eric Youngdale's scatter/gather code and assorted bugfixes.

You'll note that the verb is "did", as in past tense.  

The 174x boards are supported in native mode in the latest alpha 
SCSI code (it's quite stable, and should make it into Linux .99). You can
get the code from tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/ALPHA/scsi.

The new SCSI code supports scatter / gather, and doesn't throttle 
the adaptec 174x back to one sector READ / WRITE commands, so you 
should see a significant performance increase with the new code

Get away? Yeah... But only if you are a patient soul like myself :)

I run X11 with only 4 megs; I can run a single xterm and a clock with twm

Today i had two xterms, idraw, and xv (with a gif) running.
It still wasn't too bad and would have been better if i

hi.
Problems with ftpd again: line 1 and 2 say:

#define seteuid(x) setuid((uid_t)0)
#define setegid(x) setgid(x)

I'm not sure what setuid(0) does. But what happens in ftp, when I log in as
"any_user", is that I have r/w access to all files, regardless if owned by
root and -rw------- only. It looks like ftpd runs with euid=root, since ftpd
has to run as root (because of the chroot()), and a seteuid is never done (it
is, as you see, redefined to setuid). I wouldn't complain if the machine is
an ascetic PC, but the machine here is on the net and in "promiscous" mode ...

Of course, first thing I did was #if 0-ing the two #defines ...
But when recompiling ftpd, it says: _seteuid unreferenced from textsegment.
I did a grep seteuid * in /lib, but it couldn't be found there.

Could anyone please do something against this ?

Maybe this doesn't matter for some machines, but it's a guaranteed crash

If it doesn't matter then I'll just use #ifdef linux for everything.

doesn't matter what type of connection....just as long as you have
a WD chip card. There are three SMC cards you can consider.
The Elite 16T and Elite Combo ($255 last time I checked) both have
the UTP RJ-45 eight pin socket.
I have a simple Elite 16 with a Cabletron FOT2 to convert from the AUI
thick ethernet to fiber-optic.  There are four fiber optic faceplates in
each dorm room. So I guess would could each have two computers on the net :)
The SMC cards are great cause you can set their configurations with software 
(mind you, under MS-Dog). Put it's great if you have any potential 
conflicts.

It is a fact of life that many Unix versions have different echos.  I
believe that the most SysVish systems have similar echos, and dittor
for BSDish systems.  This is just one of the things that you have to
be careful about.

In fact, I would personally like a very, very basic echo that did
nothing but echoed its arguments and a newline.  No fancy newline
suppression or escape codes, that belongs in printf.  Yup, printf is
available as a command as well, not just as a function in C.  Check
out shellutils from GNU.
