Subject: X vs non-X users?
|
|
Date: 6 Oct 1994 20:37:04 GMT
|
|
|
|
The main reason I still have a DOS partition on my machine is that
|
|
I don't use X, and, as far as I know, there is no non-X previewer for
|
|
TeX that is equal in quality or ease of use to the emtex previewer
|
|
for DOS.
|
|
|
|
This leads to a more general question. I wonder whether we are
|
|
approaching the point where software for the two kinds of linux/unix
|
|
users will split the group. I can't suggest any particular fix.
|
|
As a matter of curiosity, I wonder what the X/non-X ratio is.

1.1.52 has a small fix that sorts out MTU discovery when Linux is being
|
|
used as a router (normally this simply means problems with Solaris 2.3
|
|
hosts). There are a couple of small problems with connections hanging
|
|
from the latest Cisco firmware and also from PC/TCP if your tcp window
|
|
parameter is set < your tcp mss parameter on PC/TCP. That as far as I can
|
|
tell is all thats seriously wrong with the current TCP code. Both the
|
|
CISCO and PC/TCP problem are the same and I'm currently working on sorting
|
|
those out.
|
|
|
|
There are other problems I get regular reports of like whole machines
|
|
suddenely locking absolutely solid with not even the keyboard or anything
|
|
else responding. This is always machines with an NE2000 clone and those
|
|
people with the hardware gadgets to check always find the card has jammed
|
|
the bus.

Only being a college student with limited funds, I am wandering...
|
|
|
|
Would it be better to get a 486dx-33 or 486sx-33 with 16megs of ram and a
|
|
good video card, or should I get a 486dx2-66 with 8 megs and a crapola
|
|
video card to run Linux on?
|
|
|
|
While I'm mentioning, is there any real advantage to getting a system
|

from Dell, or Gateway or some there "Name Brand" as aposed to a system
|
|
that will cost a LOT LESS from a no name copany like Cybermax, or
|

Profesional Somthing or another?
|

And advice will help, Thanx.

You are the ASCII to TeX converter. Tex is just ASCII with formatting
|
|
statements embedded in the text. If you have an ASCII file all you need to
|
|
do is add a header and footer like:
|
|
|
|
\documentstyle{article}
|
|
\begin{document}
|
|
|
|
Your ASCII text goes here
|
|
|
|
\end{documet}
|
|
|
|
And that's the Latex file - well, almost. You still may need to add a few
|
|
backslashes: in front of every _ % $ or so (replace _ with \_ etc.) Then, if
|
|
you want to pretty up the text, you must add that information by hand.

I've been using Geomview as a 3D front end for Mosaic. It is interesting
|
|
to look at and source code is available.
|
|
|
|
http://www.geom.umn.edu/docs/weboogl/setup.html
|
|
|
|
One of the guys there, Ed Chi, is a into Linux and has been really
|
|
helpful. Weboogl is a proposed base for VRML (Virtual Reality
|
|
Markup Language).
|
|
|
|
I have only a 486DX 33mhz machine with 20 megs of ram and Geomview
|
|
really slows down when I start to display things like offices
|
|
and virtual worlds where there are many geometric shapes.
|
|
|
|
If you do not have Motif, you will need Geomview linked with
|
|
static binaries. This file is 5 megs.
|
|
|
|
A mean hack of a perl script connects Mosaic and Geomview. To get the
|
|
script to run on Linux, you either need to run Perl 5.0 or change
|
|
one line of the script which sends a 'USR1' signal to Mosaic.
|
|
|
|
I think it was line 957 (or something like that). The error message
|
|
will show where the problem is. I didn't figure this out myself. The
|
|
cool people at the Geometry center helped me.

Ah, nostalgia...
|
|
|
|
In the November 1992 issue of BYTE, page 24, there was a letter from
|
|
'David Giller - Los Angeles,CA' (a typo for 'David Miller'?) under the
|
|
title "Unix for Nothing", about Linux. It was the first time I heard
|
|
about It.
|
|
I think it was around 0.95 at that time - unfortunately I couldn't join
|
|
before 0.99.4, for lack of Internet access, but I was already alerted.
|
|
I wonder how many people were intrigued by that letter...

Our install process uses cfdisk 0.8, and we also have regular

fdisk. The only changes that we made to cfdisk were additional

user help and making the way it deals with segments above 1024

If you prefer plain fdisk, there is nothing stopping you

from partitioning your disk with that as root and then just typing
|

"done" to the cfdisk part of the Yggdrasil installation script.

Hi all,
|
|
|
|
I know this is probably a simple question, but I could not find an answer in the FAQ. I have /dev/lp1 set up correctly and it will take catted files, but it acts weird. For example: it will not return to the beginning of the next line, it returns to the next at the end of the previous line. i.e.
|
|
|
|
"hi my name is andy
|
|
how are you doing
|
|
I think this is a silly way to print files."
|
|
|
|
Is this a configuration problem or am I not catting the file correctly?
|
|
|
|
Help is appreciated.

Hi,
|
|
|
|
I have problems with my Mitsumi FX CD-ROM and the volume control
|
|
panel of workman. Workman is written especially for the Sony CDU
|
|
drive. You can here Audio-CD with it but not change the volume.
|
|
Is there a patch for the Mitsumi drive or is there a option that
|
|
a don't know?
|
|
|
|
The workman manual writes about this:

Oh, boy, talking about coincident.

This is what we have:

a Sun386i/250 running SunOS4.0.1, and a 486 running

Linux 1.1.45, installed from Yggdrasil 1994 Fall.

This is what we did:

/files -access=audio.ab.umd.edu

on Linux we issued:

It seems that the HP9000 is not running the rpc.mountd and therfore
|
|
cannot service NFS mount requests. Is the filesystem remote mounted
|
|
on any other machine?
|
|
|
|
Also the slashes should be / not \, but I don't know what problems
|
|
that will cause.

Does Linux currently support Enhanced IDE Drives like a Western

You were misinformed. Both Linux and the BSD's use monolithic kernels.
|

For a fun discussion of this, there is a series of articles were Linus

and Andy Tanenbaum 'discussed' the merits of both of these when Linux

was in it's infancy.

Thanks, you are a life saver. I was half way through

COPYRIGHT, FILES.gz, and SUMS on at:

Try increasing the cache read/write wait states... I have a similiar setup

and at 33 Mhz, works nicely but at 40Mhz, get errors compiling and random

other little faults which eventually hose something important and the
