|

You need to create a small shell script for clear. Do this:
|
|
|
|
cat > /usr/bin/clear
|
|
#! /bin/sh -
|
|
echo ^[[H^[[J
|
|
^D
|
|
chmod 0755 /usr/bin/clear
|
|
Actually, use setterm -clear, as this will work on your terminals too,
|
|
if you have them. In the same spirit as this answer, you can make a
|
|
shell script like this:
|
|
|
|
cat > /usr/bin/clear
|
|
#! /bin/sh -
|
|
setterm -clear
|
|
^D
|
|
chmod 0755 /usr/bin/clear

Well, gang. I've just now installed Linux for the third time now.
|
|
I've got just about of there is for it on my hard drive.
|
|
I've been trying to get a compiler, any compiler, to work. Guess
|
|
what? I can't. I followed the directions as well as I could.
|
|
What happens? Glad you asked.
|
|
When I run gcc I get something saying that it can't exec a binary.
|
|
What binary? Where? How can I fix it? Does my path need
|
|
to be expanded? (It is the default path within bash)
|
|
Is there there some magical directory for all the binaries of gcc?
|
|
Any alt-spam symbolic links to files needed? Some assembly required? :)
|
|
Basically, HELP!
|
|
|
|
Another question, I've been looking and the man.c source (@tsx-11) and
|
|
I'm wondering where this 'nroff' is located? I did a find for it and came
|

up with nothing? Where can I get it?

I had fun with pfdisk. Could someone tell me what OS ID code to

use? I tryed 129 (Minix ver 4.? and later) which seemed to work.
|

Also, is the list of the partition meant to "garbage-up" when

you modify a partition record? Whatever it did works but
|
|
pfdisk is useless now because I can't get a good listing from it.
|

Is this a known bug? I would recompiler it, bnt my compiler seems

True, but a smart serial card would require a new, major device number

The pfdisk package (uploaded to tsx-11 and nic.funet) already does what
|
|
you want.
|
|
Ad 1) There is a command to set the number of sectors, heads and cylinders.
|
|
It is also possible to compile these numbers in the code (although
|
|
this won't work for a distribution version for the root-disk).

I had the same problem. I just added "/usr/src/linux/lib/ctype.o"
|
|
to the list of object-files when I linked ps. (so I did something like:
|
|
gcc -o ps ps.o psdata.o update_db.o /usr/src/linux/lib/ctype.o.
|
|
This solved my problem with ps.
|
|
|
|
I have another problem with "free" though. I get the following output:
|
|
|
|

|

My swap-partition is on /dev/hdb2. When I make /dev/hdn2 a link to /dev/hdb2
|
|
the output is what you would expect. What's happening?

Hmmm, does a 'rm swap-file-name' works ?
|
|
|
|
You obviousually have to cut the call to swapon from your rc.
|
|
|
|
If you have a swap partition, well just make an fdisk on it.
|
|
|
|
mkfs, of course -- fdisk won't help much :-)

Subject: Adding RAM

Hi,
|
|
|
|
I have Linux 0.95a running fine on my 386 clone with 4Mb (80Mb IDE,
|
|
AMI bios, OPTI chip set). Yesterday I bought 4Mb of RAM to bring my machine
|
|
up to 8Mb. The power on memory test OK's the new RAM; MSDOS runs fine; Minix
|
|
runs fine, recognizing all the memory. However, Linux gives a kernel panic:
|
|
free block list corrupted, or some such. I think it unlikely that the RAM is
|
|
at fault since I've switched the new RAM for the original 4Mb and everything
|
|
works fine. Is this a known problem? Do I have to reconfigure the kernel?
|
|
Any help would be appreciated.

First a few comments-
|
|
|
|
Alan B Clegg - subj: ABC release.
|
|
I would like to suggest that in the packages containing binaries
|
|
you include a list of files with their checksums. Many of us (me for
|
|
example have to move the files though quite a few networks and to quote
|
|
Linux "bad things happen".
|
|
|
|
Jim Winstead - subj: install script.
|
|
Great job, but could you pander to my laziness and have it ask me
|
|
if I want my BASH bashed.
|
|
|
|
To those installing gcc-1.40 this should be of help.
|
|
|
|
|
|
These are instructions for installing gcc-1.40 on Linux-0.95a.
|
|
Lunux-0.95a contains everything you need to install and run gcc 1.40
|
|
however an editor would certainly be helpful for testing.
|
|
|
|
You will need to get include-0.12.tar and newgcc.tar to your linux system.
|
|
It is probably easiest to uncompess them and Rawrite them to floopies under
|
|
DOS. You should also read newgcc.FAQ.
|
|
|
|
Now cd to / and untar the include files (include-0.12.tar)
|
|
For example if you have rawritten your uncompressed include-0.12
|
|
files to a 5 1/4 inch disk put your floppy in drive a: and type
|
|
|
|
tar -tvf /dev/at0 | more
|
|
(This shows you what files are in the tar, as well as detecting some errors.
|
|
If Murphy's laws do not apply to you, you can skip it.)
|
|
|
|
tar -xvf /dev/at0
|
|
(This should write a bunch of *.h files into /usr/include . If you are
|
|
paranoid go to /usr/include and look at some of them.)
|
|
|
|
Now cd to /usr and untar newgcc.tar.
|
|
If you are working with rawritten floppies put in the floppy with
|
|
newgcc.tar and
|
|
|
|
tar -tvf /dev/at0 | more (for people with healthy paranoia)
|
|
tar -xvf /dev/at0
|
|
|
|
This will overwrite some of the include files from include-0.12,
|
|
don't panic, thats why you untarred the include files first.)
|
|
|
|
Now gcc looks for ccp and cc1 in /usr/local/lib while they are actually in
|
|
/usr/lib so you will need to create symbolic links with
|
|
|
|
ln -s /usr/lib/cc1 /usr/local/lib
|
|
ln -s /usr/lib/cpp /usr/local/lib
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now to test it create the file hello.c
|
|
|
|
#include <stdio.h>
|
|
|
|
main()
|
|
{
|
|
printf("Hello Linux\n")
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
and compile it by
|
|
|
|
gcc -o hello hello.c
|
|
|
|
and run it
|
|
|
|
./hello
|
|

I spend several hours last night trying to get 0.95a to work on my PC to
|

no avail. 0.12 has worked fine since I installed it back in January...
|
|
|
|
When I boot I get several HD timeout messages on both my hard drives...but
|
|
it gets through this and says "Partition tables OK" and boots...everything
|
|
seems to work ok for a while and I start untarring stuff (backup, gcc2.0, etc)
|
|
...only the first couple of untars work...I use the following command:
|
|
|
|
tar zxvf /dev/at0
|
|
|
|
the floppy drive will be accessed for a while but it never starts untarring...
|
|
I can ^C out of it but after this happens once I am unable to untar anything
|
|
large...I have started from scratch by:
|
|
|
|
mkfs /dev/hdb4 20757 -c
|
|
mount /dev/hdb4 /mnt
|
|
mktree /mnt
|
|
mkdev /mnt
|
|
install /mnt
|
|
|
|
but the same thing happens eventually...
|
|
|
|
My system is a 16MHz 386sx with AMI BIOS, 4 meg RAM, 2 MFM drives...my root
|
|
partition is on the fourth partition of the second drive...the first is a DOS
|
|
partition and the 2nd and 3rd are not used (edpart set it up this way)...any
|
|
help would be appreciated on this matter...

|
|
|
|
Step one, uncompress kermit.tar.Z into kermit.tar. If you are
|
|
doing this on a PC, get an MS-DOS compress/uncompress. Otherwise,
|
|
do this on your system onto which you FTP'ed the compressed files,
|
|
before transferring them to your PC.
|
|
|
|
Step two, use rawrite.exe to write out kermit.tar to the floppy disk.
|
|
|
|
Step three, under LINUX, attach to the directory you want to untar
|
|
the file into.
|
|
|
|
Step four, "tar xf /dev/PS0". This will extract all entries from
|
|
the "tar" file on the floppy disk into the current directory
|
|
(or as modified by the pathnames in the "tar" file).
|
|
|
|
rawrite does NOT write out a mountable file system. It writes
|
|
out the file (in sequential sectors) directly on the floppy disk.
|
|
tar then treats the floppy as if it were a single disk file, with
|
|
the data stored sequentially.

I have been playing with Linux for a while now and I've noticed
|
|
two odd things that maybe somebody can help me with:
|
|
|
|
1.- Why can I execute a program (has the execute permissions set) that is
|
|
in my present working directory but not the path variable??? I have to
|
|
copy it to a directory in the path to run it!
|
|
|
|
2.- I have noticed that you can do a 'cd directory' even if you don't
|
|
have the access permissioms for that directory (non root login)! You can't
|
|
do a 'ls' once you are in, but I think that you shouldn't be allowed to
|
|
'cd' into the directory in the first place if you don't have the access
|
|
permissions. Any comments?

I have a problem in installation:
|
|
|
|
When I rawrite boot-0.95a, root-0.95a, & root-12 (names abbrevate of cours)
|
|
|
|
& boot off the boot disk, I get this>
|
|
|
|
Loading......................(hit space to select SVGA mode, return to
|
|
continue)
|
|
|
|
and if I hit space, It lets me select a # from 0-? (9, I think) to select a
|
|
video mode (i.e. columns & rows, it allows, for me , up to 132 x 80)
|
|
|
|
& then it reboots.
|
|
|
|
If I hit anything else, it reboots.
|
|
|
|
If,when it reboots, I use the disk again, it asks me the same question, & then
|
|
reboots eventually. it never asks me to insert the other disk.
|
|
|
|
I'm using a 486, with 4 megs of memory, running it off of 1.44 megg flopys
