|
||||
|
||||
hello there.
|
||||
|
||||
I upgraded from Slackware 1.0(.2?) to Slackware 2.0.0 lately.
|
||||
Shortly after, I upgraded the kernal to 1.1.45.
|
||||
|
||||
My problem is:
|
||||
|
||||
In the old slackware release, if a file system is found to be
|
||||
corrupted or max-mount-count-reached, fsck is run'ed on it
|
||||
automatically at boot up. But this doesn't seem to be the case
|
||||
anymore in this release. What happens now is that the file systems
|
||||
are mounted anyway, withouth invoking fsck. I can boot from floppy
|
||||
and run fsck manually, but it doesn't reset the flag that says
|
||||
max-mount-count-reached ... What can I do to make it behave like
|
||||
it used to, ie. call fsck on boot up when needed ?
|
||||
|
||||
help please? please cc: me byn email too. thanks.
|
||||
|
||||
whay.

||||
|
||||
|
||||
I am trying to install the Fall 1994 Yggdrasil CD but failing. I have switched
|
||||
hardware (known to work under DOS and Fall 1993 Linux) and tried at least 10
|
||||
times but no success.
|
||||
|
||||
When I boot up from the floppy, I get some messages about TAR: UNABLE TO CREATE
|
||||
DIRECTORY /HOME...... :READ-ONLY FILE SYSTEM and when I go into the INSTALL
|
||||
script, I get messages such as /INSTALL/INSTALL permission denied.
|
||||
|
||||
I do get to fdisk and set up the hard disk after that but, it just crashes
|
||||
later (unable to mount root, actually various messages depending upon the
|
||||
fullness of the Moon).
|
||||
|
||||
Does anyone have some hints about why this may be happening????
|
||||
|
||||
Thanks

Please do not flame the article: "Special Sale On QNX!".
|

|

It is a feeble attempt at forgery, and was not posted

by a commercial distributor of QNX.
|

It was posted from an undergrad account at uwaterloo.ca,

|
||||
No one. The SGI you are describing is outdated and not sold anymore.
|
||||
Funny how a top of the line PC is being compared to something that
|
||||
is too slow to be a workstation anymore.
|
||||
|
||||
1. the MIPS R4000 is hardly the fastest processor made by MIPS. The
|
||||
Indego line is several years old whereas Pentium 90 is new. If you
|
||||
want to compare apples to apples, use a new Indy with a MIPS R4600
|
||||
processor at 166 Mhz. It blows the doors off Pentium 90. Would you
|
||||
like to send your code to me so I can run it on a new SGI machine?
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2. SGI Indy does not cost ~3 times more than a top of the line DELL.
|
||||
Let's look at the numbers, shall we:
|
||||
|
||||
Dell XPS 90, 16Meg ram, 17" monitor, #9 graphics card,
|
||||
CD Rom Drive, 1G IDE disk, ethernet card, 3 year warranty.
|
||||
Price: ~$4400
|
||||
|
||||
SGI Indy, 16 Meg Ram, 17" monitor, accelerated graphics
|
||||
1G FAST SCSI Drive, ethernet, CCD camera, 3 year warranty.
|
||||
Price: ~$6500
|
||||
|
||||
You should note the the Indy has a MIPS R4600 processor, which is
|
||||
much faster than Pentium. Also, the SCSI Drive is faster and more
|
||||
expandable than the Dell IDE. Overall, the Indy will have much
|
||||
higher throughput and lower price/performance.

|
||||
|
||||
I believe that's exactly what the load balancing stuff does in fact.
|
||||
However, it would most likely only for data sent by Linux. In order for
|
||||
downloaded data to use both modems optimally, the machine on the other
|
||||
side would have to do load balancing, and most OSes don't.
|
||||
|
||||
Also, if you don't have control of the routing tables on the other side,
|
||||
each SLIP connection would give you a separate IP address, which would
|
||||
further complicate matters.
|
||||
|
||||
If you own both boxes, it should work.

|

|

Both of my VL motherboards support 32-bit DMA access (the docs for one
|
||||
specifically states it), so I assumed that it is part of the standard (they
|
||||
are from different manufacturers). OS/2 is considerably slower on my 32 MB
|

SCSI machine (which has an AHA1542C) than on my 32 MB IDE machine (which has a
|
||||
non-enhanced VL IDE controller), even though the former has 128 KB more cache.

|
||||
|
||||
Sounds like Linux handles non-DMAable memory the same way as OS/2.

The easiest way to defeat inactivity timers is to keep a "tmon" or
|

"xtmon" window open somewhere. Have your term-invocation script
|

automatically run one of these and you can stay online indefinitely
|

(they do the equivalent of a "ping" to the remote side peridoically

Hi,
|
||||
|
||||
After labouring several hours to get AMD working, I have come to the
|
||||
ultimate conclusion that AMD coupled with NIS under Linux is broken.
|
||||
Following example summarizes:
|
||||
|
||||
Let the auto.home map be equal to:
|
||||
|
||||
gopher type:=link;fs:=/home/other/gopher
|
||||
www type:=link;fs:=/home/other/www
|
||||
other host!=dns;type:=nfs;rhost:=dns;rfs:=/scsi/other host==dns;type:=link;fs:=/scsi/other
|
||||
ftp type:=link;fs:=/home/other/ftp
|
||||
staff host!=server02;type:=nfs;rhost:=server02;rfs:=/staff host==server02;type:=link;fs:=/staff
|
||||
cust host!=dns;type:=nfs;rhost:=dns;rfs:=/scsi/cust host==dns;type:=link;fs:=/scsi/cust
|
||||
|

NIS Querys of this map anywhere succeed --

I am running the 1.1.49 kernel of Linux. I got 2.1.2a of ppp from the
|
||||
net and built and installed.
|
||||
|
||||
Now the questions:
|
||||
There are files that are referenced in /etc/ppp, but I can't find
|
||||
examples of the files...
|
||||
There are many readme and SETUP, Notes, etc files, but they all seem
|
||||
to talk about what is needed to setup/install ppp and what needs to
|
||||
be done withour reference to the others.... I am confused,,,
|
||||
|
||||
(My Linux box will use a modem to call a Sun [SunOS 1.4.*]. The Sun will
|
||||
have separate entries in the /etc/passwd for different ppp dialups. Then
|
||||
when the system connects, a person can run csh (or your favorite) or exec
|
||||
a script for the person dialing up to run ppp. The Sun is connected to
|
||||
a network that that is 'hooked' to Internet. The goal is is to have my
|
||||
Linux box 'on the net' using ppp.... easy huh?
|
||||
|
||||
Any help on getting PPP running is appreciated.

They're at 4880 Stevens Creek Boulevard, Suite 205. That's somewhere
|

between Bascom and Lawrence. I think.

My personal feeling is that a biz.linux.* sub-hierarchy might be
|
||||
a welcome addition to biz. I must however question when the proposer
|
||||
would wish to remove the existing linux newsgroups, otherwise the need
|
||||
for yet more is rather obscure to me.

Just how many disjointed linux newsgroups are needed? Certainly,
|
||||
I can see potential justification for biz.linux.*, but that would
|
||||
necessarily be at the expense of the majority of the foregoing.
|
||||
|
||||
What are the proposer's intentions?

|

|
||||
Last time I checked the Hardware HOWTO, it only listed the Linux
|
||||
supported CD ROM drives without any PROs and CONs for each. Besides,
|
||||
the original question was much broader here: it asked for those that
|
||||
have good support also in DOS and OS/2, not to mention the SoundBlaster
|
||||
addition.
|
||||
|
||||
So, Steve, perhaps you should have read those posts more attentively
|
||||
before grabbing the keyboard.
