I compiled Nachos 3.2 when it first came out under linux. The main thing
|
||
to do is remove all of the non-386 code from switch.s. There are several
|

other changes, but didn't take me more than a couple of hours (much less

Hi out there!
|
||
|
||
Does anybody know What fontformats are supported by XFree?
|
||
Started xconq yesterday, but ther server didn t find the correct fonts on
|
||
the client(linux/XFree).
|
||
Xconfig:
|
||
"...
|
||
FontPath "/usr/X386/lib/X11/fonts/misc/"
|
||
FontPath "/usr/X386/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/"
|

FontPath "/usr/X386/lib/X11/fonts/PEX/"
|
||
FontPath "/usr/X386/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/"
|
||
FontPath "/usr/X386/lib/X11/fonts/xconq/"
|
||
...".
|
||
The upper directories contain fonts with the extention .pcf.
|
||
Added (...fonts/xconq/) are fonts with the extention .snf und .bdf.
|
||
Have I to convert them?
|

Any idea?

Yeah, I got this present from 1.1.45 as well. It's still broken in 1.1.49.

My dosemu doesn't (seem to) even make it to vid init. It causes a

It is my understanding that the 1542CF fixed/cured some of the

However, as Rob Janseen pointed out, you do need to be sure you have

most SCSI host adapters anyways.

I am using a gree motherboard on mine and have had zero problems that

were from Linux. The only problem resulted from the use of very old
|
||
(and slow) 80 meg drives. LILO would boot and if I selected my dos
|
||
partition on hdb, it would not spin up fast enough and sometimes would
|
||
screw up. If I just let hda spin up, it would run Linux no problem.
|
||
Even with spindowns. I have since replaced A with a new segate and now
|
||
the DOS partition will not boot at all, it doesnt seem to spin up fast
|
||
enough for the system. Drives me crazy. Its an excuse for new drives I

This is an interesting point.
|
||
|
||
From what I've seen Linux develop into - one area in which it differs
|
||
radically from other Uni*es is in the way binary distributions of
|
||
packages have proliferated.
|
||
|
||
Unlike most systems, we seem quite happy to taken binaries from other
|
||
peoples systems and use them on ours - I'm a case in point. As the
|
||
producer of the binary distribution of sendmail-8.6.9, there are now X
|
||
systems out there running AS ROOT a binary that someone else compiled -
|
||
how do they know I can be trusted ;-)
|
||
|
||
Frankly, this is why DOS viruses have spread so fast. Under DOS, hardly
|
||
anyone had a compiler and/or experience on their systems to compile their
|
||
own source-code of their favourite game/etc, so they took binaries
|
||
instead. Here we are - all with access to a great compiler - but we would
|
||
rather drop the hassle of compilation and use someone elses work.
|
||
|
||
With other Uni*es, they have usually been owned by companies/universities
|
||
who have MONEY - and therefore had heaps of disk/resources to spare - so
|
||
it's quite practical to compile all your own stuff. Try compiling
|
||
XFree-2.2.1 on a 120Mb HDD :-) It just isn't practical to compile
|
||
everything yourself on such "boutique" systems as most of us own.
|
||
|
||
Me, I'm happy to accept the risk, as we have seen with the likes of wuftp
|
||
- you can't even trust source code these days...

Date: 5 Sep 1994 22:04:13 GMT

|
||
I don't know if that is necessary. Since I started with Linux several
|
||
years ago, I always had a feeling that the FSF didn't really like Linux
|
||
very much. They wanted hurd instead. It looks like there was some
|
||
misunderstanding, at least on my part.
|
||
|
||
From what I see, Linux uses all the GNU packages, except for the kernel
|
||
but which is also covered by GNU GPL. Although there are almost no
|
||
GNU packages for the system administration stuff, the Linux system still
|
||
looks/feels pretty much like a GNU system. But somehow I felt the FSF
|
||
didn't want to have anything to do with Linux.
|
||
|
||
Today after I talked with RMS on the phone, I learned that the GNU project
|
||
is preparing for a Linux/GNU distribution based on the Debian distribution,
|
||
which is due in a few weeks. I think noone should call GNU is a vaporware
|
||
now since the Linux/GNU system is running on x86. I was told if Linux had
|
||
came along be fore hurd was started Linux would have been used as the GNU
|
||
kernel. Now since hurd is well on the way, it should not be aborted. It looks
|
||
like porting Linux to other platforms may pick up some steams as well as the
|
||
work on the Linux kernel. I am glad to see it finnally happen.
|
||
|
||
Also Linux/GNU is moving toward the ELF binary format. But the DWARF support
|
||
in gcc 2.x is still not there yet, especially C++. RMS likes to see anyone
|
||
can spend time on the DWARF support in gcc 2.x and do it right. If you
|
||
are interested, please send email to rms@mole.gnu.ai.mit.edu. For the time
|
||
being, we may use stabs-in-ELF.

to try copying "esaster", which his part of my hostname "desaster" to a
|
||
nullpointer. How can this happen? It only happens when I compiled it with
|
||
debug-flag: "-g". If I compile it with "-O2 -m486" optimizionflags instead,
|
||
it works?
|
||
|
||
Is this a bug in gcc 2.5.8 ?
|
||
|
||
Here is the code:
|
||
|
||
#include <X11/Xlib.h>
|
||
#include <X11/Xutil.h>
|
||
|
||
XPlayer::XPlayer(char *display_name, char *name, FigureClass *f)
|
||
: Player(name, f)
|
||
{
|
||
// the following correctly outputs:
|
||
// creating "player1" on display "unix:0.0"
|
||
|
||
cout << "creating \"" << name << "\" on display \"" << display_name
|
||
<<"\"\n";
|
||
// now I try to open the display.
|
||
// At this point I get a sig11, Segmentation fault
|
||
// trying to use function strncpy(s1=0x0, s2="esaster", n=8)
|
||
// copying part of my hostname "desaster" into a Nullpointer...
|
||
|
||
dpy = XOpenDisplay( display_name );
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
|
||
main() {
|
||
FigureClass *f;
|
||
char *display_name = "unix:0.0";
|
||
|
||
...
|
||
|
||
XPlayer p(display_name, "player 1", f);
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
If you have any ideas to what I did wrong, please email me. I am desparate :)

||

I'm looking for the best WWW server that works well with Linux. NCSA
|
||
httpd has several versions, and I'm not sure which might be best. Any
|
||
suggestions and sources from those of you running a WWW server in a linux
|
||
box?
|
||
|
||
Thanks.

I know that there is a software named "Peek & Spy" from Networking
|
||
Dynamics Corp... that software was developed for VAX/VMS at first,
|
||
but then was adapted for Unix, Software makes a spy over any tty,
|
||
of course you must be su to do that!...
|
||
The other way possible is TT-RECON from Software Partners/32, I think
|
||
that software runs on Unix Systems...
|
||
I hope that be useful for you...

Nope. It's a bug in either the way kernels >1.1.45 allocate memory, or
|

the way sasteroids tries to allocate memory. Pick one.

There was a patch posted on this group a couple of days ago that took

care of the kernel side of the equation. I don't think I saved it,

In a nutshell, don't sweat it.

The original poster made a point of saying it was *not* the MBR
|
||
which was the problem, but the DOS boot sector.

You seem to ignore the fact that the performance of a Linux box does not
|
||
depend exclusively on the cpu speed. The hard disk performance is also
|
||
essential, and here the 486 box is at a clear advantage. The extra disk
|
||
space is a bonus, too.
|
||
|
||
So, it's not going to be an easy choice :-)
