If they've included the Slackware source tree, then yes, it does indeed

thank you. Doom experts on said group will help you out as long as

Hello,
|
|
|
|
I've had Linux Doom (the original and patched) available via anon
|
|
FTP for the last few days on a very temporary basis, but I've gotten
|
|
a few messages suggesting that I keep it available for a few more
|
|
days, since some people are having problems getting a copy from
|
|
sunsite.unc.edu. I have no problem with that.
|
|
|
|
The following files are available at nightfall.stu.wfu.edu (152.17.202.100)
|
|
|
|
/pub/doom/linux/linxdoom.tgz [latest version of Linux X Doom]
|
|
/pub/doom/linux/linxdoom.lsm [original lsm, use this during install]
|
|
/pub/doom/linux/linxdoom.lsm.new [a quick note from ddt Re: patch]
|
|
/pub/doom/linux/doom1wad.tgz [shareware wad file]
|
|
/pub/doom/dos/dm1_2rpt.zip [registered Dos Doom 1.1 -> 1.2 patch]
|
|
/pub/doom/dos/dm1666rp.zip [registered Dos Doom 1.2 -> 1.666 patch]
|
|
|
|
All the files have been checked and contain no errors. The anon FTP
|
|
service will disappear probably at the end of this week. Please do not
|
|
upload any files to the incoming directory.
|
|
|
|
Dave.

Oh oh,

I assume your wad is a 1.2 version that has been edited? You need

the orignal 1.2 wad unedited. This is a similar error that occurs when people

try to upgrade Doom.wad 1.2 after it has been edited..er..you did back up your

doom.wad before you edited it right? You'll have to re-install if you haven't.

Hope this helps.

Why not use that one again? All files in termnet-2.0.4-Linux-bin are build with the library of term 2.0.4 so you don't need to change the file of the term package.
|
|
|
|
Otherwise: check whether you have done the installation following the README
|
|
file in the package or not and if you have made the changes to some files mentioned in that README.
|
|
|
|
Then check file permissions, ownerships (also of group) of all the files
|
|
including /usr/local/lib/term/private/socket.
|
|
|
|
I also have had this problem and it came out that file permissions were wrong.

The linxdoom.tgz file on sunsite appears to be corrupt? As no one else here
|
|
seems to have reported any problems, I tried twice to download it, made sure
|
|
I had binary mode set etc.. but gzip still says it doesnt pass its crc.
|
|
|
|
The file is:
|
|
-rw------- 1 paul 171762 Sep 12 18:06 linxdoom.tgz
|
|
|
|
and gzip -t says:
|
|
gzip: linxdoom.tgz: invalid compressed data--crc error
|
|
|
|
Can anyone point me to an ftp site that has a good copy of doom?

Subject: Why more than one partition?

As I'm just about to install a couple of 300M disks, I've got a question
|
|
about partitioning.
|
|
|
|
My current system contains two IDE drives, one 100M and the other 60M.
|
|
I plan to keep the 60M for DOS, and use the 100M for my Linux root
|
|
partition. I'll probably transfer /usr to one of the new drives, as
|
|
space on that drive is tight.
|
|
|
|
So I install these 300M drives. I know I've been told that drives with
|
|
more than one partition run faster than drives with a single partition.
|
|
I got a guess or two, but can someone give me a definitive answer as to
|
|
why this is true, if it is true?
|
|
|
|
And other than that, is there a reason to partition the drives into
|
|
multiple partitions?
|
|
|
|
Thanks,
|
|
|
|
Sean.

|
|
|
|
We are planning to release a piece of commercial software for both
|
|
System V Release 4.2 and Linux.
|
|
|
|
On Linux, the program will be compiled with GCC and linked with the
|
|
stanard shared libc.
|
|
|
|
I have been following the debate about what the GPL does and does not
|
|
cover. I have read (again) the GPL and the LGPL.
|
|
|
|
I have hexdumped the binaries we are planning to sell.
|
|
|
|
As far as I can tell, there is no reason for our software to infringe
|
|
the GPL/LPGL. They include no code from static libraries. Macros and
|
|
other header features are all under the 10-line limit (to the best of
|
|
my research).
|
|
|
|
Can anyone think of anything else that might prevent us from shipping
|
|
a Linux version of this software, from a licencing viewpoint?

This, I think, must be a difference between the US and UK Copyright

|
law. My understanding is that Ian is correct for the UK: copyright is

implicit on any work. Of course, I stand to be corrected. And European

Oh, and a few support programs use ncurses... But that appears to clearly
|
|
state that we can distribute it if we don't charge for it. (Of course,
|

we are only charging for our code!) I assume that covers the statically

I'm trying to compile a program which uses the remainder(), the nextafter()

Is it possible to install another libm.a which includes these routines?

Subject: QUESTION: transferring files between file systems???
|
|
Date: Tue, 13 Sep 1994 05:48:19 GMT
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hello everyone,
|
|
|
|
What would be the most efficient way to transfer files from a single file
|
|
system in drive X to multiple file system in drive Y???
|
|
|
|
More specifically I have:
|
|
|
|
/dev/hdb2 whose mount point is at a / (root) (i know... dumb...)
|
|
|
|
and I would like to transfer entire file system to a different drive (SCSI)
|
|
which has multiple filesystems (finally...), /dev/sda2, /dev/sda5 to
|
|
/dev/sda14 with various mount points. /dev/sda2 will be mounted at root with
|
|
boot Linux kernel, vmlinuz.
|
|
|
|
I would like to AVOID re-installing the Linux software if i can. I DO have
|
|
a complete backup of /dev/hdb2 filesystem on a tape (4mm) and I should be
|
|
able to simply restore (via tar...) to SCSI unit.
|
|
|
|
If I can just do these transfers, I can tell LILO to boot from /dev/sda2
|
|
rather than /dev/hdb2.....
|
|
|
|
Oh well, thanks everyone in advance...
|
|
|
|
- george
|
|
|
|
PS Is there something i can do with /etc/fstab, i.e. first copy just the
|
|
necessary files manually to root in /dev/sda2 and unmount /dev/hdb2
|
|
then re-mount from new SCSI file systems. Would using tar now sort
|
|
of fool Linux in restoring to SCSI drive since /dev/hdb2 has been
|
|
unmounted??? Hmmmm...
