Actually, this is configurable. Look for lines like:
|
|
|
|
Key Left R N CursorMove -1 0
|
|
Key Right R N CursorMove +1 +0
|
|
Key Up R N CursorMove +0 -1
|
|
Key Down R N CursorMove +0 +1
|
|
Key Left A S CursorMove -5 0
|
|
Key Right A S CursorMove +5 +0
|
|
Key Up A S CursorMove +0 -5
|
|
Key Down A S CursorMove +0 +5
|
|
|
|
These are where fvwm makes key bindings. The first column is the key to bind,
|
|
the second is the "context" (which window the pointer is in: R is
|
|
root/background, A is any), the third is modifiers (S is shift, C ctrl,
|
|
M meta/alt, A any, N none), and the fourth is the action to bind to the key.
|
|
Basically, you'll want to modify things so that Key Right/Left/Up/Down
|
|
is only bound to window manager actions in the root window. I'll leave
|
|
it to others' taste, ingenuity, and/or ability to read the fvwm man pages
|
|
to figure out elegant ways to rebind the keys to make fvwm Doom-friendly.

48 hours ago I installed Slackware 2.0 and it was just about the easiest
|
|
install I've ever done in 10 years of mucking around with computers.
|
|
Color me impressed.
|
|
|
|
We are using Linux on a box for people to do remote development - we
|
|
want to compile and run apps on the Linux box. Exciting things like
|
|
accounting and other business tasks.
|
|
|
|
elvis is a pretty faithful implementation of vi although it's noticeably
|
|
slower in screen I/O than vi on a SPARC. And that's when I'm only the
|
|
user on the linux box and there's nothing else happening on it. And
|
|
with relatively small - 400-line - programs.
|
|
|
|
Console output under Linux was very quick and I'm sure X performance is
|
|
pretty good. But curses performance is a little sluggish and adding
|
|
lines near the bottom of the screen is a real killer - curses seems to
|
|
clear the screen with blank lines <then> adds the new text.
|
|
|
|
I know that curses and terminals are going the way of the dinosaur but
|
|
like the dinosaur they're going to take a long time to die. We were
|
|
looking at what it would cost to outfit our very small office with a
|
|
PC/Mac/Unix solution that ran under Windows, MacOS, and UNIX and decided
|
|
we could live with a curses interface.
|
|
|
|
But it would be nice if it were a little quicker. Is there a
|
|
replacement curses out there somewhere? I checked the FAQs, How-Tos,
|
|
and Meta-FAQ and didn't see a word about curses.
|
|
|
|
Thanks!

DTC make a slew of controllers; you need to give a model#/name/type/etc.

Here is where one problem in this thread is happening:
|
|
LINUX can refer to
|
|
1. The Linux kernel.
|
|
This is GPL'd but is _not_ GNU, and FSF have no claim on it (and nor do
|
|
I believe they are trying to do so).
|
|
2. A Linux distribution.
|
|
Generally these are based on GNU tools, but there is _no_ requirement
|
|
that this has to be so (excepting gcc I guess). The majority of
|
|
programs could be replaced with BSD ones. Even the libs could be
|
|
replaced with BSD libc if you wanted to go to that effort.
|
|
|
|
Now, there is nothing to stop the FSF providing a Linux distribution of their
|
|
own, and calling it GNU-Linux. Maybe Debian would even let their stuff be
|
|
called Debian GNU-Linux, and the FSF could distribute that. Those tools with
|
|
sources based on non-GPL code might cause them some headaches unless they are
|
|
willing to distribute non-GPL source as well :-)
|
|
|
|
The one thing that FSF should be aware of is the conflicting usage of the
|
|
term 'Linux' and be guided accordingly.

Hi. I'm looking for the smallest linux distribution available to
|
|
install on my computer. I'm looking for the Bare Essentials only. What I'm
|
|
trying to do is get the kernel, /bin, cc and a few other essential tools
|
|
on a file system so I can play around and install all major unix programs
|
|
(like Xfree, GCC, Emacs, etc...) on my own to get a lot of experience with
|
|
unix. (Besides, it seems like a lot of fun and a good way to learn.)
|
|
|
|
Does such a distribution exist? If not, how would I go about doing the
|
|
above? It seems that I would need some time of boot disk to put a filesystem
|
|
on my HD and to copy over a kernel and stuff like /bin. I'm pretty clueless
|
|
on where I would ftp, say /bin or linux cc (or is there only a linux gcc?) so
|
|
I'd appreciate any pointers.

Thanks,

Ahh! Now for the real question: Does this CD include all the
|
|
relevant GPL'd source? and if not, what provisions is PC-PLUS
|
|
making to distribute the source "on the same media"? I could
|
|
easily see FSF making a stink if the source were not available
|
|
for the asking on CD-ROM at "cost" - which is pretty low for a
|
|
CD-ROM in quantity.
|
|
<<<<<
|
|
|
|
Since when did FSF start demanding that distributors give this
|
|
stuff away at cost? I was under the impression that they could
|
|
sell it for anything they wanted. The distributor, however, could
|
|
not control what the purchaser does with it.
|
|
Heck, if they don't provide the sources and someone asks, they can

always sell that person one of the other CD-ROM distributions containing
|

everything for $250. :-)

I did leave off something important. I'm reading htis on alt.games.doom,
|
|
and didn't notice that it was about *Linux* DOOM. For *Linux* DOOM, all
|
|
he has to do is raise the group velocity of his wires. That's controlled
|
|
by the file /etc/group. (By the way, everyone shold upgrade to 1.1.108,
|
|
which supports /etc/phase to control the phase velocity. You'll need this
|
|
if you want to play the QUAKE beta for Linux that's currently on all the
|
|
usual FTP sites).

Another solution is for him to get a longer video cable. But then he'll

Or press the '-' key. It works under DOS. Not sure about Linux. Can't see
|
|
why not.

Try twm, since it seems that olwm is grabbing the shift-keys, so you
|

don't have full speed.

|
|
But if I use 'limit' to limit the data size this limit is valid for all running
|
|
processes. malloc() will not return NULL if another process has used up all the
|
|
available memory as long as the malloc()-calling process's memory usage is below
|
|
the allowed limit. I think this is a serious problem, because you have to limit
|
|
a users freedom dramatically or any user can bring the system to a near halt by
|
|
allocating 3 gigs of memory.
