As far as I know, it can be run compatible with HP 550C drivers
|
|
(then only supporting 300x300 dpi). In this case, you might use
|
|
ghostscript under linux to produce high-quality color outputs
|
|
(as far as I can say that - I'm not an expert on this). Perhaps
|
|
ghostscript 3.0 has a driver for the hp560c - ask in comp.ghostscript
|
|
(or similar) if that is so.
|
|
For OS/2 drivers, contact HP directly. When I was needing an OS/2
|
|
driver for my brand-new HP550C a year ago, I got it from them -
|
|
if there's an OS/2 driver not included with the printer, you might
|
|
get it from them as well.

Well, it was just a thought. I've gotten a couple pieces of mail
|
|
saying that this is a security risk, and that is definitely true for
|
|
some people -> namely the ones where the DOS system is either
|
|
networked or the computer is physically accessible to others who
|
|
you don't trust.
|
|
|
|
But for myself (and I assume many others) my computer is here on my
|
|
desk safely in my room. If someone had physical access to it, they
|
|
could just boot a Linux install disk off the floppy drive and mount my
|
|
harddrive and change the /etc/passwd if they wanted. (unless I change
|
|
the CMOS to not boot from the floppies...but that's a bad solution).
|
|
|
|
It would just be very convenient not to have to reboot into Linux to
|
|
grab something from a file on those semi-often occasions when I'm
|
|
caught playing games in DOS and need some stuff from Linux.
|
|
|
|
But thanks for the replys, I just wanted to see if it existed is all.
|
|
I'm not very good at programming DOS, so I definitely couldn't do it
|
|
myself.

Yep, and not to be confused with Seattle's QDOS (quick and dirty o/s)

which was renamed MS-DOS 1.0. I have been using Gazelle's QDOS since 1.2

and can heartily recommend it.

allows running doom on an 8-bit soundcard. It worked great with my

If you don't have a router, smail (at least under Linux's Slackware

I'm running it right now. It's TeX'ing something for me. Installs easily.
|
|
Only problem is, in X (Yes) the sleep mode is odd -- this may also occur in
|
|
text mode, too. You just have to manually sleep it, or sync'ing keeps
|
|
waking it up before it completely times out. Maybe fiddling with the
|
|
sync daemon will help that. Once it's asleep for real the clock stops getting
|
|
updates, and syncing also stops, I guess. Suspend/resume does work.
|
|
|
|
But it does work. I installed slackware 1.2. Use the tty install disk.
|
|
|
|
You need to use a floppy disk (why I got one), and it needs to be bootable.
|
|
Older Aero's may not have this ability (ROM date needs to be 3/7/94).
|
|
|
|
The floppy (PCMCIA) is readable w/o any drivers -- linux complains a
|
|
bit, and you have to tell it it's /dev/fd0H1440, but then it works fine.
|
|
|
|
Make a diagnostics diskette, since lilo prevents you from using their method to
|
|
boot into the diagnostics. Then you can delete the diag. partition and gain 2
|
|
meg of space.
|
|
|
|
X is slow with 4 meg RAM (more is available if you have some money), but I
|
|
did get it working with some help. The SVGA server didn't recognize the card,
|
|
and SuperProbe gave another guess, so I use the VGA16 server.

Yes there is. Get the Alliance-2.0 package. You can ftp the source

You will find it in /ibp/softs/masi/alliance

Alliance is aimed at VLSI synthesis but if that is not your goal

I disagree. I'm running Linux on a 386DX/40 with only 4 meg, and it seems
|
|
fine to me. Of course, it is all what you are used to. I'm used to
|
|
DOS/Windows on the same machine, and Linux is much more comfortable to
|
|
use. It also depends on what you want to do. If you want to run X, have
|

multiple logins, compiles, and what not, then it'll be slow. For

Again, this all depends on what you want to have on your hard drive.
|
|
Personally, I would recommend getting something like InfoMagic's CDs (if
|
|
you have a CD-ROM) with its live filesystem and keep only a minimum
|
|
configuration + X (if you want it) on the hard drive. You could probably
|
|
keep it down to <50 MB. Then again, you could get on of the CDs and dump
|
|
*everything* to your HD and use a gig quick. At home, where I don't have

a CD-ROM, I use about 120 meg, but I've got about 30-40 meg free.

Ditto.

Or you can use LILO. Or you can boot it from DOS. (That's what I do.

I have to recommend InfoMagic's CDs. A two disk set for $20. It is
|
|
minimalistic, but if you don't mind figuring things out for yourself,
|
|
it's a hell of a deal. They can be reached at info@infomagic.com.
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, look on ftp.cdrom.com, sunsite.unc.edu, and tsx-11.mit.edu.
|
|
Oh, and get /pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/Installation-HOWTO from sunsite.
|
|
|
|
Enjoy!

Well, I wanted to make sure that my clock was always accuate for cron
|
|
so XNTP was installed on my system (network time protocol). Of course
|
|
this only works if you are connected to the internet. You could use
|

archie to search for the package.

In /usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi/aha1542.c you will find the following:
|
|
|
|
/* The adaptec can be configured for quite a number of addresses, but
|
|
I generally do not want the card poking around at random. We allow
|
|
two addresses - this allows people to use the Adaptec with a Midi
|
|
card, which also used 0x330 */
|
|
|
|
static unsigned int bases[]={0x330, 0x334};
|
|
|
|
You can just edit and/or expand this table...

Do you know where to find a copy of the XFree86 driver beta which

I modified a couple of files for xgoban and wally so that they would work

on Linux. Now they do and they are available for anonymous ftp from:

ftp.netcom.com

as /pub/rph/xgoban-wally.tgz

I'll put it in sunsite and tsx if I can ever get in (busy, busy, busy).

Hi,
|
|
|
|
I was wondering if there is an X-Remote program for linux.
|
|
|
|
I need to run xwindows over a slow serial line, and this is
|
|
supposed to get you the best results. Slip and Cslip and PPP
|
|
are just too slow for remote xwindows.
|
|
|
|
If no xremote port is out there. Is there a program which
|
|
is xwindows specific compression to increase my throughput.
|
|
|
|
thanks,
