Use "mgetty" from the "mgetty+sendfax" package. It has been written
|
|
especially for use with "smart" modems and offers extensive logging to
|

nail down problems.

Unfortunately, the configuration is not yet very sophisticated, you

have to do most of it in the source...

Hello,
|
|
|
|
I am completely new to both Linux and Unix in general, so be patient.
|
|
I have been playing with Linux for the last couple of weeks and have managed to get the minimal system installed on its own partion on the drive. However, I don't seem to have the proper file system installed. I ran mke2fs when I installed the system, but when I boot (from disk), I get a message saying that I shouuld run such and such a utility, similar to the mke... stuff. I need to know what switches I should run with this command in order to make the file system correct. Also, if I use the p command in fdisk, I am informed that I have a Linux/Minix file system. Is this correct when an alternative file system should be there? Also, if anyone could give me more detailed instructions on how to get X windows up an running than is available on the install... at sunsite, I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi,
|
|
|
|
I'm looking for a MODULA-3 (that's _no_ spelling mistake!)
|
|
compiler for Linux. I've seen something like that on a
|
|
unix source code CD ROM some time ago (I believe it was
|
|
a GNU version). Has MODULA-3 been ported to Linux? Is
|
|
the GNU MODULA-3 compiler rather a "to-C" translator?

Thanks in advance,

Date: 17 Sep 1993 01:31:41 GMT
|
|
|
|
I am about to purchase a machine which I will run Linux on as well as
|
|
DOS games. Here are a few questions I have been compiling:
|
|
|
|
1) MotherBoards. There are many brands out there, with Micronics being
|
|
the "best" (so I have been told). WHat is the advantage of buying these
|
|
$400 vs $100 2 VESA 6 ISA MB's?
|
|
I am currently considering the Cache computers MB, and the Micronics.
|
|
(Cache is about $100 cheaper)
|
|
|
|
2) Memory. The Micronics uses 72-pin SIMMS vs. the 30-pin SIMMS in the
|
|
Cache Computers board. Is there any advantage to the 72-pin SIMMS?
|
|
(30-pin SIMMS save me about $100 over 72-pin.)
|
|
|
|
3) SCSI-2 ISA vs IDE vs VESA-LB. I am thinking about getting an ISA
|
|
Adaptec 1542c SCSI-2 controller, and 877M 12ms/5M per sec Micropolis
|
|
drive ($700!). Which is the best way to go? ISA SCSI-2, VLB BusLogic
|
|
SCSI-2, ISA IDE, or VLB IDE? I have heard some things that say that
|
|
putting 2 VLB cards in a system can slow it down considerably.
|
|
|
|
4) Video Cards....I am currently considering the ATI Graphics Ultra
|
|
Pro w/2M and its Mach32 accelerator chip; It will be VLB as well.
|
|
Is this one of the best cards to get; also will this in combination
|
|
with a VLB SCSI-2 controller slow down my system a WHOLE LOT?
|
|
|
|
5) BusMastering VLB. Is this a necessity? Would I see a noticeable
|
|
speed increase? How about ISA BusMastering? Is this doing the same
|
|
thing?
|
|
|
|
Thanks

Hello.. has anybody made dip work as a dial in server? I haven't been able
|
|
to do it and here's what I tried:
|
|
|
|
added user slip
|
|
gave slip a passwd
|
|
edited passwd file and changed home directory to /tmp and login shell
|
|
as /usr/bin/ds -> more on ds in a second
|
|
edited /etc/diphosts: added a line thusly
|
|
slip::home.lab.r1.usfws.gov:HOME:SLIP,256
|
|
edited /etc/inet/named.hosts to include home.lab.r1.usfws.gov as
|
|
164.159.2.2
|
|
edited /etc/hosts and added same address
|
|
|
|
Net-guide said that you couldn't use "dip -i" as the login script because
|
|
login won't pass the -i. So I created a shell script which I called ds.
|
|
#!/bin/bash
|
|
dip -i
|
|
|
|
The guide suggested to write a small c program to use system("dip -i"), but
|
|
I don't know how to use the compiler yet. [I know I can write the program!]
|
|
|
|
Here's what happens:
|
|
|
|
I call using JNOS's tip (tip is just a dumb terminal mode). The modems
|
|
connect and I get the login prompt. I enter slip as the username and
|
|
give it the password. The login message appears and the line goes into
|
|
the RAW mode. I can see data being sent to the LINUX modem because the RX
|
|
light flickers.
|
|
|
|
When I try to start a telnet session with linux using JNOS. Nothing happens.
|
|
|
|
I've looked at the routing table and there is not an entry for sl0. According
|
|
to the dip man page, after dip is activated and sets the terminal line
|
|
to the RAW mode, it's supposed to ask the network layer to set up a
|
|
route in the route table.
|
|
|
|
I've tried using ifconfig 164.159.2.2 sl0, but it won't allow me to configure
|
|
a line that's not active.
|
|
|
|
Got any good ideas?
|
|
|
|
I've read the net-guide, serial-faq and the various man pages....
|
|
Thanks a lot!

# mke2fs -c /dev/hda1 75000
|
|
|

should do the trick. Of course substitute the proper device and the proper #
|

of blocks for 75000.
|
|
|

The only thing that I can think of to prompt the question is that the old fdisk
|
|
complains about partitions over 64M. You can of course ignore this.
|
|
|
|
What exactly happens when you try to format the disk?

|
I'd like to create a disk that would allow me to boot off a floppy and mount
|
|
my /dev/hda3 as the root partition using my newly compiled kernel.
|
|
|
|
Ideally, what I'd like is that if there is no floppy in the drive, my
|
|
computer starts up and runs OS2. When I wish to run linux, I'd like to
|
|
insert a floppy that either boots to /dev/hda3 ( my linux partition ) and
|
|
uses the kernel image on /dev/hda3 or just boots the new kernel off disk
|
|
and mounts /dev/hda3 as root
|
|
|
|
The problem is, that I have an IBM VP which needs a bit of help to boot
|
|
( ie. from lilo, I must type at the boot prompt:
|
|
BOOT: harddisk root=/dev/hda3 hd=966,16,31)
|
|
and because of this, the "make zdisk" does not appear to work...
|
|
|
|
I have checked the LILO docs, and tried to follow the instructions but it
|
|
didn't work ( the specigfic command was something like
|
|
echo run image=<zimage> | dd if= .....

please do not include the garbage noise from c.o.l.* on the same
|
|
CD that has all the fine software you'll be mirroring from the
|
|
Linux archive sites. If you want to make a 100% noise CD of
|
|
c.o.l. postings, feel free to make a separate CD for it.
|
|
|
|
You'll have my order in a heartbeat after the Nov/Dec CD is available
|
|
unless it's all full with USENET postings. I'd be real interested
|
|
in getting (yes, paying for) a CD mirror of the archives however.
|
|
But not if the USENET noise is on the linux archive CD...
|
|
|
|
The complete c.o.l.* usenet postings for the entire history of Linux
|
|
fits in under 45 megabytes. Given how big a CD-ROM is (~800 meg), this
|
|
is a small fraction of space available. In fact, many CD-ROM which are
|
|
published are not filled to capacity, so it's not like including them
|
|
would necessarily be crowding anything else out.
|
|
|
|
If you think the Usenet postings are noise, ignore them. But there are
|
|
some jems hidden in there. Some people may be interested in access them
|
|
for reference purposes.

yes I had this exact problem, which is caused when the serial port
|
|
is hung up by getty, it drops the DTR (which, since its a null modem),
|
|
drops carrier) and gived getty a HUP causing it to quit.
|
|
|
|
I got around this my slightly modifying serial.c so that it didnt ever
|
|
hang up a serial port. (no hardware of mine needs it)
|
|
|
|
You don't need to modify the kernel. All you need to do is configure
|
|
your getty program to set the CLOCAL flag. Then the serial driver will
|
|
ignore DTR.

20 minutes yet!!) My problem is that switching between virtual consoles
|
|
or exiting the server causes the video output to go into some weird text
|
|
mode that rolls the screen and is filled with "smiley" characters. Going
|
|
back to the graphic console displays a crapped out graphics screen. Exiting
|
|
the server and restarting it (blind!) restores the graphic screen, but the
|
|
same behaviour ensues when you switch/exit.
|
|
But sometimes, it doesn't do this.
|
|
|
|
I think the ET4000 driver has a few problems, although XFree86 1.2 from the
|
|
SLS was used for approx six months with no problems.
|
|
|
|
I've mailed xfree86@physics.su.oz.au but have yet to get an answer.
|
|
|
|
Any ideas, anyone?

Either boot from the hard disk for DOS, or use a program like stacker's
|
|
sswap, or creative use of the DOS subst command with a hdimage boot.

The only way to have EMS is to let DOSEMU supply it - it works fine.
|
|
Edit the /etc/dosemu/config file.

It is well known that dos's EDIT doesn't work - use another editor.

I've found graphics rather slow under DOSEMU too. (I've got a tgva8900c

too).

You need to make sure that you've set up the mouse in the
|
|
/etc/dosemu/config file. It does appear to work, but apparently, it's
|
|
not reliable.

I'm looking for a MODULA-3 (that's _no_ spelling mistake!)
|
|
compiler for Linux. I've seen something like that on a
|
|
unix source code CD ROM some time ago (I believe it was
|
|
a GNU version). Has MODULA-3 been ported to Linux?
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
Not in a released version. DEC-SRC is using Linux as a platform for their
|
|
version 3.0 compiler.
|
|
|
|
Is the GNU MODULA-3 compiler rather a "to-C" translator?
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
Yes, it is, as is the SRC version 3.0 compiler.
