(From mind:)
|
|
Postgres is a three-level database system.
|
|
The top level is the postgres executable which does the direct database access.
|
|
The intermediate level is the postmaster, which does concurrency control etc.
|
|
The last level is the user program, which gives its queries to the postmaster
|
|
(which in turn gives them to the database engine, postgres).
|
|
Postgres distribution incorporates a library package to write your own programs
|
|
using the postgres database system. To make life easier, the distribution
|
|
also incorporates a monitor program, which you (user) can use to enter queries
|
|
by hand. Of course, you can also supply a text file which contains queries.
|
|
|
|
In short, the answer is: NO, no X-Win program, but you can write your own.
|
|
|
|
Good Luck!

I wouldn't say that. You won't get much of a rootdisk in 360k for
|
|
recovery purposes. If you have hard drive problems you would need to
|
|
borrow a HD drive again.
|
|
|
|
HD 3.5" drives are about $60 now. See if you think that's a reasonable
|
|
investment (consider that it can move with you to any future machine).

You don't need to do the mkswap in your /etc/rc. just the swapon.
|
|
This is pretty standard Unix operating procedure, nothing magical
|
|
here.

|
|
|
>If they don't, this should be mentioned in the FAQs
|
|
|

FAQ's are not the best documentation (highly overrated in my opinion).
|
|
Get a Unix book and perhaps one on general Unix system administration.
|
|
At any rate, it *is* in black and white in the FAQ, question VIII.09.
|
|
It says to put the swapon command in your rc file for specific devices,
|
|
which of course would have worked for you, and hints that you can do it
|
|
via the fstab as well. For that method you would have had to dig a bit
|
|
but then again it's a pretty normal Unixy thing to do.

You do need to use mknod to make them but you don't have to do
|
|
anything in the kernel to allow you to use any set amount.

Nothing wrong there... Look at "buffers". If you have RAM available and
|
|
read something from the disk, it is cached until more RAM is needed.
|
|
You have 10.6 Meg of Buffers. If you would load a program that uses more
|
|
than the 1.1 Meg you have available, the buffers would automatically be
|
|
reduced in size and more RAM would be available.

I don't know if this is already known but I have exactly the same problem.

I think I've seen a message saying that some Cirrus clone boards are bad.

May be we have both such a card.

I just purchased this CD-ROM from a PC show made by a company called
|
|
Infomagic. It includes Linux 0.99.10 386BSD and NetBSD source and

binaries. The Linux included seems to be a mirror of some major ftp

archive site, and includes SLS 1.01 under the /packages/SLS dir.
|
|
|
|
I've succeeded in installing the SLS package, but cannot get the

X to start. There are no scripts or binaries called xinit or startx,
|
|
contrary to the included instructions.
|
|

Am I missing something here? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

After hearing some very positive comments about Linux, I decided to go
|
|
ahead and install it on my system. Before doing so, I read all the FAQs
|
|
and information I could find, and I discovered that Diamond cards are not
|
|
supported.
|
|
|
|
I was told by an expert Linux user that the video drivers necessary
|
|
for using a Diamond Stealth VRAM with Linux are available somewhere
|
|
on the net. I'd like to know where I might possibly find them, how solid
|
|
they are, and how to go about installing them (being new to Linux, I
|
|
haven't the slightest).
|
|
|
|
If you have any information, please e-mail me, as I'm rather anxious to
|
|
try out Linux with X-Windows. Thank you.

Well, actually Mark, I don't think he did.
|
|
yasee, Unix, as an Operating system, when you consider all the
|
|
built-in functions (news, mail, write or chat) It has the basic
|
|
makings to provide excelent BBS services. It makes sense
|
|
to provide a menu (bbs like) shell interface for the user to
|
|
protect him from the unix shell prompt, then use the built
|
|
in functions of mail, etc to do the work of the bbs.
|
|
|
|
I believe one of the greatest obstacles of doing that are the following:
|
|
|
|
One, for most bbs's it is a simple matter to remove a user from
|
|
the list of users for bbs management.
|
|
|
|
Two, Most bbs's use a singular user for the bbs for the following:
|
|
this way you can have NEW users, and this way you can have just
|
|
one user, one set of permissions to regulate and keep sheltered
|
|
from other users. (should you have any)
|
|
|
|
It is difficult for someone to get an id, create an entry in the
|
|
/etc/passwd file, allow him limited access, promote, etc, etc, etc
|
|
in the current OS. If you have one login for the bbs, and it
|
|
is public knowlege, you could build up users from that list. Loyal
|
|
and current users who would like their own id could be accomodated for.
|
|
|
|
enough for now

Does anyone have a fully working X configuration/setup for the IBM PS/1?
|
|
|
|
I have PS/1 "Executive Consultant" series boxes. The basic SLS 1.03 install
|
|
worked fine when LILO got the right hard disk parameter information.
|
|
|
|
The display is fully capable of a 1024x768 resolution. But when I try that
|
|
in X, the display is wildly screwed up. The obvious guess is that the timing
|
|
info in the Xconfig file isn't fully correct. I can probably figure it out,
|
|
but has anybody already done it?
|
|
|
|
Thanks,

Are you kidding? I've seen them for more like $45. I bought an EHD
|
|
(2.88 MB) drive for $70, a Toshiba, no less!
|
|
|
|
But I agree, it'll need some sort of higher density floppy, or Ethernet, or
|
|
tape, or SOMETHING for the machine to be worth your time.

I am using the same Linux and had to fiddle around quite a lot to add
|
|
a new user. Two hints: use `passwd -f user' (you must be root) to `forget'
|
|
the current password. Set the aging parameters to 0 10000 -1 -1; type
|
|
`passwd -S root' to see what I mean. Wrong aging par's can prevent
|
|
changing a password.
