Yes, just make sure that the correct IRQ is set in the file mcd.h in the

Hi, there,
|
|
|
|
Does anyone know how to use dip to setup SLIP for a remote server that
|
|
uses dynamic IP address assignment? The sample.dip file doesn't work
|
|
for me. The dip version I am using is 3.7.7. If you already made your
|
|
SLIP work (with dynamic IP address assignment), could you drop me some
|
|
tips or send me your dip script file through email? I really appreciate
|
|
your help.
|
|
|
|
Thanks in advance

Well, not necessarily - depends on what you want to do, as always. I
|
|
have 16M RAM and I think it's generally just fine for Linux, and I'm a
|
|
not-so-light user. Other operating systems supporting X may of course
|
|
use more memory for running the same things.
|
|
|
|
Right now I have X, emacses, xterms, Kermit and various little things
|
|
like xload and xclock running. The "free" programs says this:
|
|
|
|
# free
|
|
total used free shared buffers
|
|
Mem: 15296 14508 788 11456 5140
|
|
Swap: 5872 0 5872
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
So, you could still do this in 12M quite comfortably. Having multiple
|
|
copies of Emacs doesn't take much more memory per se. Running GNUS
|
|
in the emacses does take memory (the listing above includes a GNUS
|
|
session to a moderate-size local NNTP server).

Subject: SB16 MCD and Mitsumi problem - Help

Date: 22 Sep 1994 03:24:47 GMT
|
|
|
|
I have a Mitsumi FX001D controlled by a Sound Blaster 16 MCD. The
|
|
SB16 is their latest revision with the Mitsumi CD IO port set at 0x230.
|
|
The only options I have are 230, 250, 270 and 290, while with the older
|
|
board, the IO port can be set starting at 0x300. I was trying to install
|
|
the Yggdrasil Linux, the boot diskette insists on looking for a Sony CD
|
|
ROM drive, I guest it sees the IO port of 0x230 being set, I believe
|
|
that is where the Sony default. Can I use the boot command to tell
|
|
LILO that I have a Mitsumi CD at 0x230 and IRQ 11?
|
|
|

Thanks...

I can't remember that I patched ramdisk.c and my memory is not so bad!
|
|
So there are at least 2 possibilities left:
|
|
|
|
I used kernel 1.1.49 maybe this was patched. Otherwise I solved the problem
|
|
by defining RAMDISK=0 in the lilo.config file without knowing anything about
|
|
ramdisk.c (sounds as music). By the way where is the story about the patch?

I ordered a Royal P90 about one month ago. I was told the system would
|
|
ship on the following Friday. It did not. It fianally shipped 6 days
|
|
later. When I got the machine, they sent me DRAM instead of VRAM on the

|
video, and no mouse ($9 cheapo, but it's the point). Then came the big
|
|
run-around that the invoice said DRAM, not VRAM. They told me I could
|
|
upgrade to VRAM for like $100 or so. Anyways... after two weeks they
|
|
replaced the video card (ATI GPT OEM) and gave me a mouse. System is FAST,
|
|
good quality, and I haven't had a problem *YET*. (Didn't order a monitor
|
|
with it though).
|

Make sure you specify what hardware you want (they were selling SuperMicro,

I requested Intel)!

This is common practice (and, in fact, required by many TCP/IP protocl
|
|
stacks). Whether or not it is "correct" is unclear. It's quite
|
|
possible to implement routing using the same IP address on two
|
|
interfaces, if one of them is a point-to-point link (namely,
|
|
a slip line). The idea of every physical network having its own
|
|
IP network is ideologically pure. Ideological purity, while clean
|
|
and elegant, is often discarded in favour of optimizations. Given
|
|
the current state of the IP address space, it could easily be argued
|
|

Is the version of GCC which handles templates available for Linux yet?

Where can I pick it up?

I had similar problems and finally found in
|
|
/usr/src/linux/driver/net/dummy.c
|
|
a solution. You can read at the beginning...
|
|
|
|
/* dummy.c: a dummy net driver
|
|
|
|
The purpose of this driver is to provide a device to point a
|
|
route through, but not to actually transmit packets.
|
|
|
|
Why? If you have a machine whose only connection is an occasional
|
|
PPP/SLIP/PLIP link, you can only connect to your own hostname
|
|
when the link is up. Otherwise you have to use localhost.
|
|
This isn't very consistent.
|
|
|
|
One solution is to set up a dummy link using PPP/SLIP/PLIP,
|
|
but this seems (to me) too much overhead for too little gain.
|
|
This driver provides a small alternative. Thus you can do
|
|
|
|
[when not running slip]
|
|
ifconfig dummy slip.addr.ess.here up
|
|
[to go to slip]
|
|
ifconfig dummy down
|
|
dip whatever
|
|
|
|
This was written by looking at Donald Becker's skeleton driver
|
|
and the loopback driver. I then threw away anything that didn't
|
|
apply! Thanks to Alan Cox for the key clue on what to do with
|
|
misguided packets.

I've reconfigured my kernel (1.1.50) including 'Dummy net driver

|
|
|
|
ifconfig dummy slip.addr.ess.here up
|
|
route add slip.addr.ess.here gw localhost metric 1

to some /etc/rc.d/* file.

|

Date: 21 Sep 1994 22:10:10 GMT

|

I'm running Slack 2.0 on a ZDS notebook, and have completely moved in.
|
|
With each day that passes by, I get more nervous about losing information
|
|
(due to my own mischief, of course :-). So far, I've been backing up
|
|
irreplaceable items (home directories, etc) via multi-volume floppy tarfiles.
|
|
|
|
Does anyone know of a method, say, a via a parallel port backup device
|
|
of some kind, to make larger-scale backups? Even though this would
|
|
likely require non-existant software/kernel features, I am interested
|
|
enough in this to code myself.
|
|
|
|
Please enlighten me...(!!)
|
|
Cheers!

I am running xscreensaver as an 'extra' program under X.. it works very
|
|
well.. it has many options, but I just switched to xdm... I'm running
|
|
linux 1.1.50 and Xfree86 2.1.1 ... I wanted to run xscreensaver under xdm
|
|
so that it would blank the screen, etc.. while the xdm login prompt was
|
|
up there... and I added it to the /usr/X386/lib/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0 file (I
|
|
have added xv w/background .gif to this file, it does that correctly)..
|
|
but under xdm, xscreensaver quits with the error message:
|
|
|
|
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
|
|
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
|
|
Error: Can't open display: :0
|
|
|
|
(I _am_ using display :0.0 .. I'm not TOO dumb...) can anyone email any
|
|
suggestions to me? thanks!

Well I read about this problem earlier and I posted in short how I did it.
|
|
So again the story but more extensive.
|
|
It's a few weeks ago so maybe the story is not complete and reposts are needed.
|
|
|
|
1: take a existing bootfloppy is easy because there is space left
|
|
for another kernel. You can mount it with mount /dev/fd0 /fd0
|
|
You can even remove the old kernel on the floppy if there is a
|
|
space problem.
|
|
|
|
From scratch it is more complicated and at last the same problem
|
|
must be solved. At least you have to do something like:
|
|
mkfs /dev/fd0 and you have an emty floppy then mount it etc.
|
|
But almost everything on a slackware bootdisk is needed.
|
|
(You must create the devices in /dev create /bin /etc and more )
|
|
|
|
2: make a kernel on your harddisk system
|
|
copy the kernel to the root of the floppy (/fd0)
|
|
now the kernel is on a bootflop , the only problem is how to boot
|
|
from the new kernel
|
|
|
|
3: edit /fd0/etc/lilo.conf and add the kernel just added
|
|
|
|
4: run lilo -r /fd0 lilo with change root to /fd0
|
|
will change the bootrec on the floppy and add the kernel.
|
|
This command is essential to solve the problem!!!
|
|
|
|
5: reboot with the changed bootfloppy. You should be able to
|
|
choose your kernel at the lilo prompt.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I hope I didn't forget anything, success!

The alpha driver is fairly stable. It is not an acclerated

driver though. I have been using it for a few weeks without

any problems.
