I am using rev .06 of BIOS right now... Why should I upgrade?
|
|
|
|
Please help me out (and others, I'm sure) by posting what all of the changes
|
|
(.08 and .10 I think) do differently than .06.. I heard something about a
|
|
PCI buffer being disabled. My system with ATI GUP PCI, Q-Logic FastSCSI PCI,
|
|
5 other cards withg WinNT 3.1 and WFW 3.11 is ROCK solid. Never a crash...

Does anyone know anything about the TSENG W32 server. I just got the Fall

release of linux and was told that the X11R6 had incorporated it. I can't seem
|

to find it. Xwin just uses the default TSENG 4000 configuration.

Please do not post questions to comp.os.linux.misc - read on for details of
|
|
which groups you should read and post to.
|
|
|
|
Please do not crosspost anything between different groups of the comp.os.linux
|
|
hierarchy. See Matt Welsh's introduction to the hierarchy, posted weekly.
|
|
|
|
If you have a question about Linux you should get and read the Linux Frequently
|
|
Asked Questions with Answers list from sunsite.unc.edu, in /pub/Linux/docs, or
|
|
from another Linux FTP site. It is also posted periodically to c.o.l.announce.
|
|
|
|
In particular, read the question `You still haven't answered my question!'
|
|
The FAQ will refer you to the Linux HOWTOs (more detailed descriptions of
|
|
particular topics) found in the HOWTO directory in the same place.
|
|
|
|
Then you should consider posting to comp.os.linux.help - not
|
|
comp.os.linux.misc.
|
|
|
|
Note that X Windows related questions should go to comp.windows.x.i386unix, and

that non-Linux-specific Unix questions should go to comp.unix.questions.
|
|
Please read the FAQs for these groups before posting - look on rtfm.mit.edu in
|
|
/pub/usenet/news.answers/Intel-Unix-X-faq and .../unix-faq.
|
|
|
|
Only if you have a posting that is not more appropriate for one of the other
|
|
Linux groups - ie it is not a question, not about the future development of
|

Linux, not an announcement or bug report and not about system administration -
|

should you post to comp.os.linux.misc.

I had problems with this when the DMA on my 1542C was set to zero (which my

Hello,
|
|
|
|
I want to use Linux on my Intel-P60-PCI PC. Therefore I want to buy
|
|
a 1GB HD and a CD-ROM-drive. Because of several reasons I want to use
|
|
SCSI but the PCI-board I use has NOT the NCR-chip on board.
|
|
|
|
Can anybody recommend a PCI-SCSI controller which can be used with
|
|
Linux or should I buy a controller for the AT-bus (e.g. Adapatec 1542cf) ?
|
|
|
|
Is a PCI-SCSI-controller much faster than an AT-bus-controller ?
|
|
When will the PCI-Adaptec be supported by Linux ?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Please send me Your reply by E-Mail.
|

many thanks,

Yes, they do. I'm running an HP 35470 and a 1.2 GB harddisk on an Adaptec
|
|
1542B without any problems.
|
|
|
|
You can tar mutiple backups on one tape using the non-rewind device file
|
|
/dev/nst0 and mt -f /dev/nst0 fsf <number f archive on tape> for winding the tape to the appropriate place.

This is not possible with the way the FTP protocol works (the server
|
|
does not listen on port 20, instead it connects from port 20 to a
|
|
different port picked by the client). To get FTP over term, you have
|
|
to compile an ftp client (e.g. ncftp) or an ftp server
|
|
(e.g. wuarchive-ftpd) with the termnet library.

That's all I can think of right now. Universial CD-ROM is probably the

Subject: Trouble with fdisk 1.5 on big disk
|
|
Date: Wed, 21 Sep 1994 12:42:00 GMT
|
|
|
|
I am having trouble with fdisk (v1.5) when I try to create partitions on
|
|
my Micropolis 1924 (2.1GB). I am currently running Linux 1.1.51.
|
|
|
|
If I create the partitions under Linux then OS/2 complains with a 'disk
|
|
2 has a corrupted partition table', and fails to recognize the
|
|
partitions that I created. This means that if at that point I create a
|
|
new OS/2 partition, all my Linux partitions on that disk are gone. :-(
|
|
|
|
If I first create the partitions for OS/2 and then I go to Linux, fdisk
|
|
complains about partitions overlapping !!!
|
|
|
|
I only have problems with the 2.1GB drive which is at scsi id 1 (also
|
|
tried id 2 with the same results: I wanted to make sure that the disk
|
|
wasn't seen by the bios at bootup). At id 0 I have a Conner 540MB, which
|
|
worked without problems. Could the problem be related to the fact that
|
|
the disk has more than 1024 cylinders?
|
|
|
|
Another remark: if I create a primary partition with Linux's fdisk at
|
|
the beginning of the disk, it gives the warning that the logical and
|
|
physical start of the partition do no match. The problem does not occur
|
|
if I create the partition with OS/2.
|
|
|
|
A similar type of problem (physical vs. logical mismatch) appears when
|
|
creating big extended partitions, but as far as I can see, only if I
|
|
cross the 1024 cylinder boundary (see below).
|
|
|
|
I am including a (slightly edited) transcript of one of my sessions in
|
|
the hope that will help for troubleshooting.
|
|
|
|
Thank you in advance for any help you might give me. Am I doing
|
|
something really stupid?
|
|
|

Subject: Linux v. OS/2 and Desqview - DOS multitasking
|
|
Date: Mon, 19 Sep 1994 21:58:44 GMT
|
|
|
|
Does anyone know how Linux compares with OS/2 and Desqview in terms of DOS multitasking (speed and crash protection - I'm aware of which DOS programs don't run under Linux yet). I currently use OS/2, which is great, but something of a sludge, and I'm looking to get into the freeware world.
|
|
|
|
Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks.
