I am receiving File table overflow errors on my system since I installed
|
|
a bernoulli 150. It accesses the drive fine but when I try to open
|
|
applications I get a file table full and the program dies. Has anyone
|

ever seen this error? I couldn't find it in the five million pages of
|

FAQ's spread all over my basement.

Hi!
|
|
|
|
I have played around for a day installing SLS1.0.3 on a 486dx50 with
|
|
4 megs, adaptec 1542C and a SEAGATE1096N (80 meg) hd.
|
|
I tried every possible combination of dos/nondos prim/ext partitions,
|
|
but the system won't boot in most cases. The bootup seems to hang
|
|
in the middle of SCSI detection, and I dont have a clue why or a different
|
|
HDadaptor to find out. Sometimes on a reboot after a floppy boot it workes
|
|
but not after power-on. Any hints about that?
|
|
|

thanx

|
|
Hello,
|
|
I have been using Linux for a while now. Have 3 machines running
|
|
99.9 and just decided to upgrade to 99.12 to take advantage of the NET2.
|
|
So I backed up and did a NEW install (NOT a patch) of 99.12
|
|
All went GREAT! All installation was smooth (except for the creation
|
|
of a mucked-up fstab).
|
|
Got the net back up and running in less than a few hours, everything
|
|
is fine until I went to the NET2-HOWTO.
|
|
NOTHING seems to jive??? There is no /etc/rc.d/rc.inet.1 or 2
|
|
nor is there any of the config files referred to in the FAQ.
|
|
Also on this new system there are links like: /etc -> ./
|
|
and all sorts of links to /conf/net which does not exist at all!
|
|
As I said all is well but I am really confused as to the conflicting
|
|
info. Is there a "FRESH-INSTALL-FOR-NET2-FAQ" or something somewhere??
|
|
Any help or hints as to what is going on would be greatly appreciated.
|
|
Thanx,

Alsn, first of all your return address bounced when I responded to you
|
|
privately, so I am responding on the newsgroup.
|
|
|
|
Thanks for your info, however when I include the CLOCAL line in my gettydefs,
|
|
even the patched kernel gives me the respawning too fast error. What I did is
|
|
create a new entry called direct:
|
|
|
|
direct# B9600 CLOCAL ISTRIP CS8 ...
|
|
|
|
and in my inittab I have it do a getty direct /dev/cua0
|
|
|
|
Is this the proper way to do it? I cannot find any MAN pages on it.

Instructions on how to do this exist already. I can't remember the

directory, but it's somewhere amongst the Linux-doc-project on
|
|
sunsite.unc.edu if memory serves me correctly, and is called something

like 'ibm-power'.

If you really can't find it, I have a copy somewhere and I'll mail it

Hi,

|
|

I've learned the hard way that the SGI machine at work takes only 150 mb
|

tapes. I first purchased a 250 mb tape, but too many read-write errors,
|
|
so I went back to the store and purchased two 150 mb tapes.
|
|
|
|
How can I write a script so that tar backs up my laptop's entire 200 mb hard

|
drive onto the two tapes.
|

Has the VT switching code for Xfree1.3 been perfected yet?

It mentions in the README that it has some problems with

non 80x25 VTs.
|
|
|
|
When I was using Xfree1.2 I could switch to my VTs with no

problems. But now using 1.3 I get a garbled display when I quit

or switch to a VT.

If not fixed, does anybody know a program which will correct

an incorrect video mode?

For those who responded, thanks anyways. I decided to build a external
|
|
bridge from an 8088 or 80286 using novell with an cheap arcnet card & ethernet
|
|
card in the machine. should work. lousy solution but whatever works.

Hi. Where can I find information, FTP-sites, etc. on MIDI software for
|
|
Linux, and using a SoundBlaster card for MIDI under Linux? Thanks.
|
|
|
|
Also, if you could email me information on inexpensive MIDI cards for my
|
|
486, I would greatly appreciate it.

ET4000/W32 is said to be working with XFree86-1.3, but none of its

accelerated features are used.
|
|
|
|
There are no plans for an accelerated server for ET4000/W32 in 2.0
|

|

XFree86 related questions should go to comp.windows.x.i386unix

I've just installed the copy-lefted yabbs (yet another bbs) package
|
|
(ftp site: phred.pc.cc.cmu.edu) on my Linux SLS 1.03. Haven't had a
|
|
chance to testit out thoroughly.
|
|
|
|
Has anybody else try it? How does it compare to other BBS?

Subject: Linux filesystem over multiple hard disks?

|
|
|
This may be a FAQ, but I haven't read the most recent FAQ yet.
|
|
|
|
Can someone tell me if Linux will create one logical filesystem over
|
|
multiple physical hard disks? In other words, if I have 2 40 MB hard
|
|
disks can I configure Linux to mount one 80 MB filesystem that would
|
|
span the two hard disks?
|
|
|
|
Type to ya later...
