Yes it comes with the SLS 1.03 package. It runs under XView 3.0 and its
|
|
called workman. So start up openwin and look in the mouse menu under
|
|
XView binaries. works great! check it out.

In your smail config file, use:

I get the same kind of behavior on my SLS 1.01 release. The compiler screws up
|
|
sometimes, especially if it has been compiling lots of stuff. I just reboot,
|
|
and things then compile without errors as expected. My guess is that the
|
|
page faulting system is buggy, especially since I also sometimes get messages
|
|
about bad page tables, etc. This happens on both a .97 kernel and the 99 1.01
|
|
kernel, and with different CPU's (386sx and 486sx), different memory (8mb, 16mb)
|
|
and disks (IDE and ESDI), so I think its a software problem and not hardware related.

Well not exactly. There is the p2c pascal to C translator. It converts
|
|
pascal to C and there is a C library with many of the builtin pascal
|
|
procedures and functions. I just tested it. It translates from pascal
|

(many dialects including Turbo, HP, UCSD, and Berkeley Pascal) to a C
|
|
program which can be compiled with the -lp2c library.

I've been using a TMC-1680 since last October. No problems.
|
|
|
|
Perhaps the kernel you use hasn't been configured for Future Domain
|
|
support? I think it's possible to make such a kernel...

Ahem. This seems to be a misunderstanding. If you have an 8-bit Future
|
|
Domain host adapter like the TMC-850, then, yes, configure the Seagate
|
|
8-bit driver.
|
|
|
|
But: if you have a 16-bit Future Domain adapter like the TMC-1680, then
|
|
you should, of course, configure the Future Domain driver (it's called
|
|
the Future Domain driver, so this should be easy).
|
|
|
|
My TMC-1680 has a ROM on it; I see no reason to remove the ROM just to
|
|
go 8-bit.

Yes use workman.
|
|
|
|
It is really quite a very nice package (albeit in OpenLook), I sent patches to
|
|
the author for linux which I believe are in the source of the latest version,
|
|
it should be just a case of:
|
|
|
|
xmkmf
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
There is an old version binary on tsx-11 in the BETA/cdrom directory. Also

there is xcdplay which doesn't really compare.

It is not in sunsite: /pub/Linux/Incoming. Where did you put it in?

I also check apps/comm, it contains the 1.4 b version, dated 1992.

I just installed the SLS 1.03 on a 386-40 with 4 megs of RAM.
|

I had nearly no problems installing the system, and the machine now

runs just fine (including internet access and all).
|
|
|
|
BUT, whenever i su and want to reboot the machine, the system hangs
|
|
itself without any reason or error message...
|
|
|
|
eg, i su and use the reboot command without any parameters, the machine
|
|
hangs. (no errors,...)
|

shutdown -r now does the same.

anyone got an idea???

I vaguely remember this from my first installation. As I recall, the

mail directory, /usr/spool/mail, had bad permissions. Make sure that the

group is mail, and that the mode is 775. If that doesn't help, try

see how it's processing the message:

OK,
|
|
|
|
To all of you who still can't get Linux to recognize your Future Domain
|
|
1680 SCSI card...
|
|
|
|
Try booting off of the SLS 3.5" A1 disk. The 5.25" install disk doesn't
|
|
include 1680 recognition in the kernel. I guess SLS either forgot to
|
|
update the kernel or didn't have room for all of the goodies on the
|
|
5.25" disk.
|
|
|
|
However, I switched my floppy cables around, booted the 3.5" A1 and
|
|
viola!!! It recognized the 1680, my SCSI hard disk, SCSI tape drive,
|
|
but fails on my CD-ROM (another problem...) With the TEAC CD-ROM
|
|
disconnected, everything works great.
|
|
|
|
I hope this helps some others. It seemed so absurd when I thought of
|
|
booting the other disk [they wouldn't have different kernel versions on
|
|
different sized distribution disk?] but it works.

at that times, because I wanted to be able to backup my Linux HD
|
|
(I heard recently, that the last version ftape-0.9.6 should be
|
|
much more stable and reliable than earlier versions, but I
|
|
can not install it until I'll upgrade to at least 0.99pl12)
|
|
|
|
For now I'm able to take complete snapshots of my system (or at
|
|
least of my root partition) and are able to boot immediately after
|
|
restore. Something that is of some interest to me is exchanging
|
|
different free Unix OS's (ie Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD) on the same
|
|
partition in around three quarters of an hour via tape (or even shorter,
|
|
if I zip the complete partition into a file on our Novell server :-)

In terms of QIC specs you may be right (I don't know them), but
|
|
I used the term in the usual common sense to denote the type
|
|
of tape drive I have. But to clarify another point: I did not
|
|
write a QIC-xxx device driver for DOS, but a driver that maps
|
|
an arbitrary portion of my disk (my Unix partition) into a regular
|
|
DOS file, which I am capable to compress and backup using my
|
|
Central Point Backup Software delivered with my IOMEGA tape drive
|
|
(this gives me an image backup of my Unix partition in QIC-80
|
|
format, to be exact) or using any other useful DOS program and
|
|
storage medium (see paragraph above).
|
|
|
|
back,up & away

Subject: Setting active partition on second hard drive
|
|
Date: Fri, 24 Sep 1993 01:56:44 GMT
|
|
|
|
Hi everyone,
|
|
|
|
I have two hard drives: Westen Digital 340MB as master, Maxtor 130MB
|
|
as slave. I was considering using the 130MB dive to run linux on while
|
|
leaving the 340MB drive solely DOS.
|
|
|
|
Question: Can I make the linux partion on the 2nd drive the active partition?
|
|
|
|
I tried to do this with fdisk (with both drives having DOS partitions) and
|
|
it said that only partions on the first drive can be made active.
|
|
|
|
Does this mean that I am unable to run linux on the 130MB drive because
|
|
I can't make it the active partion (short of physically swapping the drives).
|
|
|
|
Admittedly I haven't delved much into linux, so I don't even know if this
|
|
makes a difference. But if I have to have the linux partition on the first
|
|
drive (the 340MB), I'll have to backup and repartion the whole thing (yuck!).
|
|
I'd really prefer to keep my O.S's on separate drives if possible.
|
|
|
|
Any info is appreciated.
|
|
|
|
Thanks,
|
|
|
|
Tim
