I've been trying to compile NCSA Mosaic under Linux 1.1.13 and having no luck.

I can't seem to configure it properly - can't find a bunch of files in an Xm

My God. You make me feel like a newbie! My first Linux kernel was
|
|
0.98pl5, but I had only just taken delivery of my (then) shiny new
|
|
486-33 with 8Mb RAM, which I thought was the bee's knees at the time.
|
|
It's looking a little feebler these days, despite an upgrade to 20Mb
|
|
RAM, but still Linux runs a hell of a lot faster than anything else
|
|
does!

Unless I am mistaken, that isn't the case.
|
|
|
|
Under Linux, Mitsumi drives don't require an IRQ although they will
|
|
use one and don't use DMA even if the drive does support it.
|
|
|
|
Did you test it under Linux or another operating system?

Subject: Support for more PS fonts under EZ
|
|
Date: 2 Oct 1994 03:24:11 GMT
|
|
|
|
The recent discussion here regarding Andrew EZ has reminded me of one
|
|
annoying shortcoming in that program-- its inability to make use of
|
|
all the Postscript fonts that may be available. The only ones
|
|
supported seem to be "Andy" --> Times, "AndySans" --> Helvetica, and
|
|
"AndyType" --> Courier. Is there any way to get ezprint to use
|
|
additional Postscript fonts? I can go in to the postscript file and
|
|
manually change the font specified, but then output spacing gets
|
|
messed up and it's extremely ugly. Additional fonts on screen would
|
|
be nice, but not really essential (since ez isn't true wysiwyg
|
|
anyway)...
|
|
|
|
Also, do any Andrew X11 fonts exist for oddball type sizes? (13
|
|
point, 15, etc.)? Up-scaling fonts of the wrong size looks
|
|
horrendous.

I'm going to be installing Linux on my own PC soon (just as soon as

Infomagic are back from the dead so I can order their CD set), and the

partition sizes quoted here set me wondering. My HD is the same size as the

|

about 80 MB and maybe 20-30 MB swap, but is 200 MB root + 200 MB usr really
|
|
the best way to go? Does root really need that much? In fact, is there a

good argument for bothering with separate root & usr partitions at all?

I think I have found a solution (I have typed hundreds of chars so far and it
|
|
is still working).
|
|
|
|
At the end is a patch file for (/usr/src/)linux/net/inet/sock.c that fixes
|
|
this one problem.
|
|
|
|
The *real* problem is in tcp.c where tcp_write uses sock_wmalloc to allocate
|
|
socket buffers, but uses kfree_skb (if anything) to deallocate (after an ACK).
|
|
The problem is that kfree_skb bypasses the counting mechanism for the number
|
|
of bytes, so a count of used bytes keeps going up. THIS IS ONLY A THEORY,
|
|
but I can find no call to sock_wfree except for an error that aborts sending
|
|
a packet. The problem seems to occur with ppp due to timing and the very
|
|
small packets (each containing 1 character, but eating 768 bytes), with a
|
|
large window size.
|
|
|
|
You can figure out how to feed the following to patch, or simply edit
|
|
sock.c in the wmalloc and wfree routines. All I do is disable the size
|
|
tracking.

Is that the alpha server that's on sunsite? Or something else
|
|
entirely?!
