After reformatting my hard drive 3 times I installed Linux, the Linux
|
|
part was not a problem. The reformatting was caused by a bug in my "Waite
|
|
Group's MS-DOS Developer's Guide." The information on the partition layout
|
|
is wrong. Anyway, the actual install of Linux went off without problem.
|
|
I installed GCC 2.0, again no problem except as is not included, and went back
|
|
and installed 1.40 to get as. I downloaded man.tar.Z and su.tar.Z from
|
|
tsx-11.mit.edu. Man compiled but wasn't putting the name in properly so I
|
|
fixed that. Now it says I need nroff but all I can find is gtroff and this
|
|
doesn't seem to do it. Where can I get nroff or what do I need to do to
|
|
make gtroff work. Apologies if this is a silly question but I never need
|
|
to deal with *roff.

I finally got unbusy some more and got pseudo devices working enough to
|
|
mount one. The pseudo devices require a /dev entry but don't care what
|
|
the actual device # is as long as its unique.
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
mknod /dev/pseudo b 128 128
|
|
mount /dev/pseudo /pseudo pseudo
|
|
the last argument to mount is the file system type. Now that this works
|
|
all I have to do is add some more file_ops and tubes will be working on
|
|
the new version.
|
|
|
|
I'll upload a compiled copy of the joe editor to tsx-11 (joe.tar.Z)
|
|
I think this is a slightly older version of it, I have been using it
|
|
for everything so far on linux.
|
|
|
|
For anyone not familiar with joe, its a unix text editor that uses word
|
|
style type commands, its best feature is its small fast and simple.

just wanted to let people know that i was still alive and well and hacking

there were some problems with floats, as hlu has pointed out and linus

the good news is that i can almost see the light at the end of the tunnel...

my mmap code still works as does my io bitmap stuff (i won't bother to

upload them until i can get x going, i still have a pet project to enhance

once things tend to work more often than not i will reach those who have

Has anyone used the lp patches witha laser printer? Last night I
|
|
successfully applied the lp patches on Linux .095a with the ps .095
|
|
patches already installed. Once I reboted, it told me that I have
|
|
lp1 and lp2, so I went ahead and made the devices for them. My dot
|
|
matrix printer worked fine (lp1), but my laser (lp2) worked but
|
|
each line was flushed to the right by the size of the previous line.
|
|
For example,
|
|
input:
|
|
This is line 1
|
|
Line 2
|
|
This is the last line
|
|
|
|
output:
|
|
This is line 1
|
|
Line 2
|
|
This is the last line
|
|
|
|
Does anybody know why this is happening?????????

If your /etc/mtools really looks like that, mtools will become confused.
|
|
Each drive entry should be on a line by itself, e.g.
|
|
|
|
# /etc/mtools - mtools device definitions
|
|
|
|
A /dev/at0 # A: 5.25" HD
|
|
B /dev/PS1 # B: 3.5" HD
|
|
C /dev/hda1 # C: 30 MB HD partition
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
If the device names are misspelled or if they're followed by semicolons
|
|
or by any non-whitespace (blanks, tabs, etc.), you should get the message
|
|
init: open: ENOENT
|
|
|
|
If you're getting a message like "16 bit FAT on C: sure ? ...", mtools
|
|
has discovered that its default to assume a 16 bit FAT might be wrong,
|
|
because your disk has less than 4086 clusters. (No typo, it's not 4096.)
|
|
You should follow the instructions in the "FAT type check" section of the
|
|
mtools.Readme file to determine the correct FAT type. If mtools still
|
|
complains, and you're *really* sure that it shouldn't, you can make the
|
|
number negative and it will happily do, whatever it's told.
|
|
|
|
If you're getting something like "Probable non-MSDOS disk", you most
|
|
likely picked an incorrect device/partition.

dexcribes some problems with vt100 emulation. Are these responsible
|
|
for some of the problems with elvis (vi), such as those caused by
|
|
long lines or tabs? or are these just more elvis bugs?
|
|
|
|
The problem with long lines is that when displaying a screen
|
|
containing one or more long lines, lines are often displayed one
|
|
or two lines away from their 'actual' position, so that insertions
|
|
and deletions often have surprising effects.
|
|
|
|
The problem with tabs is that some routine which decides how
|
|
much of the screen to clear gets confused and leaves bits of lines
|
|
from previous pages. This would not be so irritating if Ctrl-L
|
|
cleared the screen, but the same bits remain even after a Ctrl-L.

Subject: Can't load rootimage diskette
|
|
Date: 31 Mar 92 09:45:00 GMT
|
|
|
|
I have been following this news group for a couple of weeks and
|
|
I have seen many people complaining about problems with IDE drives.
|
|
However, I can't remember exactly what kind of problems they were
|
|
and what solutions were given (if any).
|
|
That is why here is yet another report:
|
|
|
|
Yesterday I tried Linux 0.95a on my 486, but had no success.
|
|
|
|
Linux complained that it could not reset my hard disk controller
|
|
and that it was still busy. I thought it was a timing problem since
|
|
I had set bus speed to CLKI/2.5 (=33MHz/2.5). I dropped it to
|
|
CLKI/6 and switched my system speed to 8MHz (14Mhz according
|
|
to LandMark). Some of the comlaints went away, but not all.
|
|
|
|
Bootimage diskette worked fine and Linux even identified my
|
|
SVGA card correctly. (It is a Paradise compatible CVGA 1024)
|
|
I tried standard 80x25 and SVGA modes 132x25, 132x43.
|
|
|
|
When I had selected the video mode, Linux told me to insert
|
|
rootimage diskette and press RETURN (or was it ENTER?). I did
|
|
that and diskette drive light turned on for a second. I think
|
|
Linux didn't even read anything from the diskette. And that
|
|
was all. I was able to get a task list (or something like that)
|
|
by pressing scroll lock or Ctrl-Break. According to it two tasks
|
|
were running. Every key I pressed was echoed to the screen,
|
|
but had no other effects.
|
|
|
|
I though it was because of those complaints about my hard disk
|
|
controller and told my BIOS that there were no hard disks.
|
|
It helped a little: complaints about the hard disk controller
|
|
disappeared. But rootdiskette still didn't work, ARGH!
|
|
Any help ?
|
|
|
|
My system configuration:
|
|
WB 486/33, cache 64Kb, 8Mb RAM, Opti chipset, AMI BIOS
|
|
dated 6/6/1991, two IDE drives: Seagate ST-1144A (130Mb)
|
|
and Quantum 40A (40Mb). Hard disk controller is Seagate.
|
|
Genius 6000 Serial mouse at COM1, 1200bps modem at COM2.
|
|
Drive A: 1.44Mb, drive B: 1.2Mb.
|
|
SoundBlaster 1.5 at IRQ 7 and port 220h.
|
|
|
|
TS.
|
|
|
|
P.S. I tried with many diskettes and copies of the rootimage file.

I'm about to do some repartitioning, and was considering whether it would be
|
|
better to reserve a partition for swapping or to use the swap-to-file facility.
|
|
The latter has the advantage of flexibility, but I would suspect that it would
|
|
be slower due to fragmentation, cf. Windows 3.0 permanent/temporary swapfile.
|
|
Does anyone have any feelings or experience on the relative speed of the two

methods?

Or, just add some memory. Memory is *CHEAP*. I have 8 meg in my machine, and
|
|
have 5meg of disk dedicated to paging (never hit it, but I figured I might
|
|
eventually). Anyway, I have run 4 compiles (3 VTs, and a 19200 serial terminal)
|
|
and a kermit (also 19200) to my workstation here at work, and have not seen a
|
|
*MAJOR* drop in speed. Perhaps the 15hours of compile is a DOS thing...

8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)
|
|
|
|
Anyway, *SERIOUSLY*, I have not seen any problems, and with the price of
|
|
memory, just go out and buy a little more...
|
|
|
|
Let's see... If I was going to buy SCO Unix, I would expect to pay $2000 for
|
|
the base OS, right? Linux is free, so that $2000 can go toward new hardware...
|
|
Right? Try using THAT ONE on your wife!

Yes, it can. (At least on my system.)

This is correct.

You certainly mean
|
|
A /dev/floppyA 12 40 2 9
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, that's what is supposed to happen. If you specify more
|
|
than one device for a drive letter, mtools tries to read each of them
|
|
until it succeeds. This brute-force format detection is slow and gives
|
|
lots of confusing error messages.
|
|
|
|
It's better to give the drives unique names, i.e.
|
|
|
|
A /dev/at0
|
|
X /dev/floppyA 12 40 2 9
|
|
|
|
('X' for 'XT') Then A: is your 1.2 MB A: and X: is the same drive with
|
|
a 360 kB disk in it.
