Whether you call it a code freeze or not, the quantity of patches

I havn't seen anything on the newsgroups about this... Maple V is
|
|
available for Linux. It looks and runs just like the Solaris version.
|
|
The binaries are not staticly linked and the entire installation takes
|
|
up 24 MB. I'm impressed.
|
|
|
|
The SCO version also works with Linux under the iBCS emulator.
|
|

With WordPerfect, mapleV, and DOOM, there's no excuse for not

installing Linux.

You're going to have to start by ensuring that you have a complete backup of
|
|
the system as what you propose will total your current partition. To install
|
|
Linux and OS/2 use the OS/2 FDISK program. You'll need to delete your current
|
|
partition. Add the boot manager partition first, then create a partition for
|
|
OS/2 and add it to the boot manager. You'll need about 75M or so for it. This you can make a primary
|
|
partition and installable. How you wish to split your remaining 270M is up to
|
|
you based upon how much you wish to allocate to data and Linux. These two
|
|
partitions can be made logical partitions. The last thing to do is add the
|
|
Linux partition to boot manager.
|
|
|
|
Now, save the changes and reboot into your WARP II install and install that.
|
|
After completing the WARP install you can then install Linux on the appropriate
|
|
partition. You don't need to set it that partition installable or anything as
|
|
Linux will take care of that. Once you've shut down after the Linux install
|
|
you can boot either OS/2 or Linux.

Hm,
|
|
What's an AMD chip ? Any way, I always use AMD to mean Auto Mount Daemon.
|
|
In that meaning: we have coupled some 5 linux boxes using NFS mounting
|
|
each other's root directory, with amd managing the mounting process.
|
|
No problems, whatsoever, and we're doing it for quite some time now.
|
|
|
|
Also, we have a *very* simple setup, allowing every computer to access
|
|
the other computer's files read-only. Completely satisfactory.
|
|
|
|
So, if you're interested in what/how we did it, I'll be glad to provide
|
|
the setup.

tsx-11) seem to be several months out of date. If that mailing

list had an archive that I could browse that was updated regularly
|
|
(and perhaps organizes as a hypermail document collection on an HTTP

server...) I'd be a happy camper.

Subject: 10 Mb/s DMA on Adaptec 1542CF ? G486HVL Mb.
|
|
Date: Sun, 25 Sep 1994 21:12:36 GMT
|
|
|
|
Apologies for comp.os.linux.*, I am doing this because I know quite a few
|
|
linuxers are using the same motherboard and quite possibly adaptec 1542CF.
|
|
|
|
I have Adaptec 1542CF and only a Toshiba 3401b on it. I have enabled
|
|
sync negotiation and fast scsi options on this one. So far no
|
|
problems. When I also change the DMA transfter rate to anything over
|
|
5.7 Mbps, the machine seems to hang at least 5/7 seconds longer when
|
|
it comes to loading ASPI4DOS, than it does for 5 Mb/s or 5.7 Mb/s. At
|
|
this point I get panicky and reboot. The motherboard is G486HVL with
|
|
HiNT chipset. (These are the COMTRADE EISA/Super ISA machines of
|
|
last year). The mb docs state the following :
|
|
|
|
32 bit Master DMA capable of bursting at 33 Mb/s"
|
|
|
|
The machine also has a SB16 card using different DMA channels on the same
|
|
machine.
|
|
|
|
My questions are :
|
|
1) Has anyone gotten transfer rates of 10 Mb/s on similar hardware ?
|
|
2) Is it normal for ASPI4DOS to take more time for 10 Mb/s while loading.
|
|
i.e. should I wait a little longer, at the risk of hard disk corruption ?
|
|
3) Is there any benchmarking stuff for cd-rom performance in
|
|
public domain/shareware/copy lefted s/w.
|
|
4) Am I missing something ?
|
|
|
|
Thanx in advance for the responses.
