I don't have a 16-bit sound card on the right machine, but on the SGI
|

version (which presumably is similar) there are only sound effects,
|

unfortunately.

No. Rip it out and put in an el-cheapo NE2000 clone. It'll probably

I had the same problem. At that time I was running kernel 1.1.45. Nothing
|
|
seemed to work. I tried several other kernels, and finally I was lucky with
|
|
kernel 1.1.29. I installed it, recompiled dosemu and it worked almost

Martin not only accused me implicitly of software-piracy (see this
|
|
thread a few weeks ago), he now threatens to set his legal bloodhounds
|
|
on this thread. Obviously it is his right to do so but it effectively
|
|
portraits the horror that established firms feel when confronted with
|
|
new developments.
|
|
|
|
And it is so bloody stupid... Linux offers a new way to boost
|
|
WP-sales, which is a BIG seller, and all they can do is wave with
|
|
lawyers and insert fingers in dykes, because it might threaten that
|
|
Unixware of theirs, that is a SMALL seller and likely will remain so.
|
|
|
|
Guess in which department Martin (or should I say: Mister Sohnius)
|
|
is working...
|
|
|

Paai.

I've installed it, and no problems. It appears that amateur radio

operators may be in for a thrill, and there's a new Ethernet card

(LANCE?) supported. It's fairly mild for an upgrade, but I don't

Linux Doom users who register should make it clear that they are

I don't think you can pass a parameter (-i) to the shell field in the
|
|
password file. Put the thing in a script and use the script for the
|
|
shell (although the chance might exist that the person invoking the
|
|
script could break out of it and have access to the O/S).

Hey! THe max is 512k officially, and 2 meg unofficially.
|
|
ANd it can run OS9, too!
|
|
|
|
(for those of you who don't know, OS9 is by a company called micro_ware_,
|
|
and is vaguely unixlike in that it is preemptively multitasking,
|
|
multiuser, and has a lot of i/o libraries fairly similar to the unix ones.
|
|
OS9 is used by bigger companies like Philips (In the CD-I machines, even!)
|
|
for real-time multitasking stuff.
|
|
|
|
It's usually on a 68000 platform.
|
|
Unfortunately, on the coco3 you have to deal with semented memory, and no
|
|
memory protection. Kind of a cool way to get into "real OS's", thou
|
|
I have a system for free if anyone can use it. (with K&R C compiler!)

floppy system only.

by that)

I'm running it with a 486/66 and a trident 8900CL, which I hear is the slowest

The reasoning I have for wanting to start a biz.* heirachy for linux is
|
|
that there are commercial vendors now addresses the need for
|
|
professional Linux support. Professional support costs money...ie; is
|
|
commercial and people on the net (including myself) have a tendacy to be
|
|
a little snide towards commercial posts in non commercial areas. I would
|
|
like to open a group that would allow people like myself, Yggdrasil,
|
|
Info-magic to post ads. These ads would be for the person who wants to
|
|
try things like Linux but does not want to have to deal with hunting for
|
|
help with their problems. Also it would give a place for vendors to have
|
|
a forum to discuss problems with product and current sales.

Me too.
|
|
|
|
Maybe the reason software development companies are reluctant to
|
|
develop for Linux is how they view the user base. We all got our software
|
|
for free, so maybe they don't expect that we would pay for anything. Also
|
|
there may be a big fear of piracy. Since we are "better" with PC's than
|
|
the average user, then they see us all as "hackers", too some hacker=pirate.
|
|
|
|
I saw an earlier post asking "How do I register Linux Doom?" I feel if
|
|
more of us stated they we were willing to *BUY* a piece of software for
|
|
Linux and actually went through with it, more companies would see that there
|
|
is money to be made from Linux users and would start developing high
|
|
quality software. Let's face it, no company will develop where the
|
|
potential for profit is weak.
|
|
|
|
The bottom line, if we want to see more high quality software for Linux
|
|
like Doom, we're going to have to pull out our wallets.
|
|
|
|
More thoughts, but that's enough for now.

To convert fax-data I found the best way to use the tiff-tools found on
|
|
sgi.com: graphics.tiff. With "fax2tiff -M -4 (several pages of fax-data)"
|
|
and "tiff2ps -2a fax.tif >fax.ps" you get highly compressed level-2
|
|
postscrtipt file of your whole(!) document. Now you can apply all your
|
|
postscript tools, like psnup, psbook e.t.c. And no excessive use of memory.
|
|
And ghostview to lok at them!
|
|
|
|
Regarding "g2topbm", the is a different version in the
|
|
"mgetty+sendfax"-package from Gert Doering which is also beware of memory.
|
|
|
|
The original pbmtools sometime use the pnm-format as intermediate output,
|
|
which is 3 byte per pixel. Try to rotate a pbm-picture!

Hello,
|
|
|
|
I would, if I knew how to benchmark my system under XFree.
|
|
How does one go about this ? Is there a util, readme or FAQ ?
|
|
|
|
A pointer would suffice.
|
|
|
|
Thanks in advance,
