When I type " ls > /dev/lp1 " I get a message that says "no such
|
|
device". It also says that for lp0 and lp2, which I think it should. I
|
|
have an MS-DOS partition and a Linux partition. I can print with no
|
|
problem from DOS with the printer set as LPT1. I've looked through all
|
|
the FAQs (I think ?!?) and can't find anything. I've got the Slackware
|
|
distribution of Linux 1.0, if that makes a difference. This is just a
|
|
stand-alone desktop machine, not networked to anything. I'm frustrated...
|
|
|
|
Can anyone help?

Hi,

Each time I tried to run InterViews' programs such as

Docs, Logo, or the others. I got an error message saied Floating
|
|
Point Exception. I can't find a way to solve it and please help
|

me. I do have a math coprocessor. I even complied the kernel with
|

math emulation to try those programs but it still got the same error

|

Thanks in advance.

After the forged "QNX for sale" posting in various conferences, I have to
|
|
wonder if this posting is a deliberate attempt at flame bait, but all the
|
|
same, I'll ask the obvious question.
|
|
|
|
"Best at what?"
|
|
|
|
Every Os has a different mix of strengths and weaknesses, features which
|
|
were deliberately added to address specific application needs. In the case
|
|
of QNX, a microkernel architecture, realtime, certified POSIX compliance,
|
|
network transparent distributed processing, and fault tolerant networking
|
|
are some attributes that differentiate it from Linux and 386BSD.
|
|
|
|
In the case of 386BSD and Linux, attributes such as being free and full source
|
|
being available differentiate it from QNX.
|
|
|
|
As to which is best, you have to look at your application and see what
|
|
it needs most, and then choose based on that. After all, most of us
|
|
don't run operating systems just for the fun of it. The OS is usually
|
|
part of the environment (which includes the hardware) necessary to
|
|
support the applications we need to run.

|
|
|
|
IMHO, the key to making a newbie-friendly distribution is not making the
|
|
distribution brain-damaged, but rather to add some documentation and
|
|
utilities
|
|
in key places to help walk the user through doing the things she wants to
|
|
do. The main barrier to entry at the moment is not the power and
|
|
complexity
|
|
of Linux but rather that in order to install and use it the user has to
|
|
make
|
|
decisions which a new user does not have the knowledge to make. The
|
|
current
|
|
installation procedure begins by having you haul out rawrite (which isn't
|
|
all
|
|
that horrible) and fdisk (which is ghastly). If I am a new user I have no
|
|
clue how many megabytes of swap space I need.
|
|
|
|
My vision of a newbie installation is one where you get your install disks
|
|
or your CD-ROM or whatever, and there is a file called install.bat that you
|
|
run, which pops up and says something like:
|
|
|
|
"I am about to install Linux on your disk. This will wipe out all the data
|
|
on your hard disk. Are you sure you want to do this?"
|
|
|
|
"The first thing I am going to do is partition your hard drive. This means
|
|
that I am going to divide your hard drive into smaller units, each of which
|
|
is going to be used for a different purpose. Later on, if you want a
|
|
different
|
|
partition you can do this step yourself using the fdisk utility, which you
|
|
can read all about by typing 'man fdisk'. For now I am going to partition
|
|
your disk in the following way:
|
|
|
|
partition 1: 200 MB root partition. This partition will hold the actual
|
|
linux kernel as well as some important programs for maintaining your
|
|
system.
|
|
|
|
partition 2: 200 MB usr partition. This partition will hold application
|
|
programs, etc.
|
|
|
|
partition 3: 20 MB swap partition, used for virtual memory paging.
|
|
|
|
partition 4: 100 MB DOS/WINDOWS partition. (NOTE: I will set things up
|
|
so that you can boot both DOS and Linux, and so that you can read your
|
|
DOS files from Linux. Unfortunately, there is no way to read Linux files
|
|
from DOS - DOS is too brain damaged.)
|
|
|
|
and so on.
|
|
|
|
The key points are:
|
|
|
|
1. Do not give the users any options unless it is absolutely necessary.
|
|
Make everything some reasonable default and as automatic as possible.
|
|
|
|
2. Inform the user at every step in the installation what is going on,
|
|
the decisions that are being made for her, and how to change things later
|
|
if she wants it done differently later on. Also, where to go for more
|
|
info.
|
|
|
|
3. When everything is in place, put a file on the screen with the
|
|
following
|
|
information: a) how to press the shift key on bootup to select DOS or Linux
|
|
to boot. b) how to edit a file using the default editor (this could be a
|
|
pointer to read some other file, with explicit instructions on how to read
|
|
that file) c) how to get to the DOS partition d) how to run DOSEMU. (NOT
|
|
how to install it; it should be installed automatically!)
|
|
|
|
FWIW.

Yes,
|
|
|
|
The driver that loads under DOS inits the modem. So
|
|
to get it to work:
|
|
|
|
- boot dos and load the driver
|
|
- warm restart (CNTL-ALT-DEL)
|
|
- load linux
|
|
|
|
It works!
|
|
|
|
Or use loadlin so that you have a linux menu in your
|
|
config.sys that loads the driver and then calls loadlin
|
|
to boot linux.
|
|
|
|
Has anyone figured out what the driver inits so we can do
|
|
it from linux?
|
|
|
|
Also, I haven't been able to get the modem to answer the
|
|
phone. (I think the fax half wants to answer...)
|
|
Ideas?

|
Date: 28 Sep 1994 23:59:56 GMT
|
|
|
|
Trans-Ameritech Systems announcing the Linux Plus BSD CD-ROM Release 4.
|
|
|
|
The company that pionered the Slackware distribution on a CD-ROM, the "live"
|
|
file-system and DOS-assisted installation procedures is proud to announce
|
|
a new revolutionary Installation Free (tm) release of Linux.
|
|
|
|
We hope you will find it easy to install and use. This CD-ROM has one feature
|
|
not found on any other distribution of Linux: it is possible (and very easy!)
|
|
to start running Linux from your hard drive WITHOUT GOING THROUGH THE NORMAL
|
|
INSTALLATION ROUTINE! It will work with ANY CD-ROM that DOS can read. The only
|
|
assumption that the automated procedure makes,is that you have an IDE drive C:
|
|
with at least 20 MB of disk space to automatically put a Linux system with
|
|
X-windows on! We call this a Test Drive. After going through this, you can
|
|
add software by a normal "setup" procedure or you can decide to dedicate a
|
|
partition to Linux.
|
|
|
|
The Release 4 is based on the brand new release of Slackware 2.0.1 that is
|
|
considered by the author (Patrick Volkerding) to be very stable and a major
|
|
milestone. The full Slackware tree (145 MB compressed!) is provided as well
|
|
as the Slackware sources tree. And of course the Trans-Ameritech trademark
|
|
"live" filesystem that can be used to save disk space. In addition to the
|
|
many kernels of all flavors that come with Slackware, we provide a number of
|
|
kernels based on the post-code-freeze Linux kernel 1.1.50. It has many
|
|
desirable features not found in the 1.0.x kernels standard with most
|
|
distributions:
|
|
Considerable improvements in disk performance - SCSI and IDE
|
|
Support for huge IDE disks (over 1024 cylinders).
|
|
Support for the IDE CD-ROMs (NEC 260).
|
|
Standard support for UMSDOS filesystem.
|
|
Way too much more to list here.
|
|
|
|
The highlights of this release:
|
|
|
|
DOOM for Linux!!!
|
|
Read-only Double-Space filesystem!
|
|
NCR PCI SCSI.
|
|
IDE CD-ROM support.
|
|
TGIF - Xlib based interactive 2-D drawing facility under X11.
|
|
An X server for et4000/w32-based boards.
|
|
Software for the Ham Radio enthusiasts.
|
|
Two sets of compilers and libs - 4.4.4 and 4.5.26
|
|
Kernels from 1.0.9 to 1.1.50.
|
|
qfax 1.0
|
|
Jazz 1.0 - a comfortable MIDI sequencer
|
|
Easy configuration of Xwindows.
|
|
New NTeX 1.2
|
|
BSD Sendmail 8.6.9
|
|
util-linux-1.10
|
|
term 2.1.0
|
|
calc2.9.3t8 - arbitrary precision calculator.
|
|
irsim - An event-driven logic-level simulator for MOS circuits
|
|
DOSEMU 52.3 beta for the new kernels.
|
|
|
|
FreeBSD packages 1.1
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Other important software:
|
|
GNU emacs 19.25 and 19.26 for tty and X.
|
|
Interviews - text and graphics utilities
|
|
ANDREW
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you prefer to go through a much more flexible custom installation, an MSDOS
|
|
based program provided on the CD-ROM ("install.exe") will help you make the
|
|
right choice of a boot kernel depending on the hardware that you have and will
|
|
actually create the two floppies to be used for Linux installation.
|
|
Furthermore, the "setup" script modified by the Trans-Ameritech, will put the
|
|
kernel used during the installation on your hard disk for use with actual
|
|
operation. This guarantees that all the hardware that worked during the
|
|
installation will continue to work afterwards.
|
|
|
|
The important documentation is uncompressed and ready to read under DOS before
|
|
installing Linux on the CD-ROM.

CAUTION Neither the book by Knuth nor the book by Lamport describes
|
|
the texinfo system used by GNU, although both are interesting for their
|
|
own sake. I would suggest looking through whatever documentation
|
|
prep.ai.mit.edu has on info and texinfo first.

Steven Buytaert suggested GNAT, but there is also adaed, the ada83 version
|
|
from NYU. I have compiled adaed under linux, having made a couple of edits
|
|
and it runs as well as it does under other systems (solaris, MSDOS), i.e. it
|
|
barfs on separate spec and body files and some intermodule errors. For ada83
|
|
basic work it's fine.

Better to use i486-linux as does gcc.
