Considering that you didn't let it finish, gcc might be dumping a
|
|
huge core instead of compiling. Check for that.
|
|
|
|
I just put gcc2.4.5 on my system -- now I can't compile anything.
|
|
It gives a warning about the shared libraries not being compatible,
|
|
then dumps a core that tries to take up any free disk space I have.
|
|
|
|
Question: How do I upgrade my shared libraries? If I upgrade
|
|
them to work with the new gcc, wouldn't they fail for everything
|
|
ELSE on my system?

I upgraded my installation from SLS 1.01 (kernel 0.99.9-1) to SLS 1.03
|
|
(kernel 0.99.12). Under SLS 1.01, I had no problems. Now, under SLS
|
|
1.03, I have at least three prblems. Can someone please help me solve
|
|
these problems?
|
|
|
|
1) LILO seems to be installed, but it won't boot anything. When I
|
|
boot the machine, I see
|
|
|
|
LI
|
|
|
|
and it hangs. How can I get this LILO to boot my kernel?
|
|
|
|
2) I can't change the keyboard language in my kernel. I tried
|
|
ediiting "/linux/kernel/chr_drv-defkeymap.map" and recompiling the
|
|
kernel, but my new key map was ignored. I also tried running 'fixkbd'
|
|
on my zImage before typing 'make zdisk', but my new boot disk still
|
|
has the standard QWERTY keyboard. How can I create a kernel with a
|
|
Dvorak keyboard?
|
|
|
|
3) 'lpd' doesn't do anything. The following text is representative
|
|
output:
|
|
|
|
# lpd
|
|
# lpr some-file
|
|
lpr: connect: No such file or directory
|
|
job queued, but cannot start daemon
|
|
|
|
Note that my spool directories exist, and that 'lpr' adds entries to
|
|
the spool directory. How can I get my printer to work?

|
|
|
|
Is there a way to disable the CD-ROM seek at Linux startup? OR has
|
|
anyone gotten a Teac CD-ROM to work with Linux?
|
|
|
|
I have a Teac CD-ROM (Model CD-50) attached to my Future Domain 1680
|
|
SCSI controller card running Linux. The problem is that when I try to
|
|
run Linux, it does the following:
|
|
|
|
Confirms SCSI card as SCSI bus 0.
|
|
Confirms Seagate SCSI drive on bus 0, SCSI id 0.
|
|
Confirms Teac CD-ROM on bus 0, SCSI id 4.
|
|
|
|
LOOKS FOR FURTHER SCSI BUSSES.
|
|
Has a kernel sync failure and hangs forever...
|
|
|
|
When I disconnect the Teac CD-ROM drive, the system does not look for
|
|
further SCSI busses beyond my first and only card. The system then
|
|
works fine.
|
|
|
|
This becomes a big pain if I need to use it under OS/2 or DOS. I
|
|
have to pull the case and connect it again (internal CD-ROM drive).
|
|
|
|
Any help will be appreciated,

I've been wanting to upgrade from SLs-101 to 103 for a few weeks, and

now I'm about to begin. When I booted SLS-103 - disk a1.3 last night I

|
could mount my DOS partition, but could not mount my Linux partition
|

that was mkfs (or was it mkefs)'d when I installed SLS-101. There are

some files, mainly configuration files) that I'd like to save - they are

all text so I can print them all and then re-enter them by hand if

needed. But there has to be a better way.
|
|

How do I mount a partition that is known in fdisk as linux/Minix??

I have a 386 SX/16 with 80meg of disk space (in 2 disks), BUT only a

This happened to me too. The workaround I came up with was to invoke

.openwin-init from my .xinitrc as the second-last step, just before

Is there a Linux-ported version of the "gated" gateway daemon available

turn up one, and the regular SunOS gated sources seem to have lots of

The gated doesn't need to actually handle gateway functions, only act as a

|

|

Yes, yes, YES. (I've been getting a bit impatient hearing about all
|
|
these also-rans.) I downloaded maxima a few days ago to my Linux box
|
|
and it was everything I remembered Macsyma/vaxima/svaxima being,
|
|
*including* the very long compile time. If you want a symbolic
|
|
manipulation system of the caliber of Linux, namely top quality and
|
|
free, maxima is *the* way to go.
|
|
|
|
Get it as two packages, clisp + maxima, namely
|
|
tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/packages/lisp/clisp-english.tar.z
|
|
tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/packages/lisp/maxima.lzh
|
|
|
|
and install them in that order. The entire installation, which took a
|
|
couple of hours or more (only ten minutes of my time fortunately), all
|
|
went with only a single hitch: when following the clisp README I obeyed
|
|
|
|
And create a shell script that starts lisp:
|
|
|
|
cat > /usr/local/bin/clisp
|
|
#!/bin/sh
|
|
exec /usr/local/lib/lisp/lisp.run -M
|
|
/usr/local/lib/lisp/lispinit.mem "$@"
|
|
[Ctrl-D]EOF
|
|
chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/clisp
|
|
|
|
by simplying pasting the whole paragraph to my shell, failing to notice
|
|
that the second last line needed translating to a single control-D (it
|
|
was late at night). This being the level at which things could go
|
|
wrong, I'd say this release of clisp+maxima makes them a very robust
|
|
team.
|
|
|
|
With regard to maxima, the main heros here as I see it are MIT's Joel
|
|
Moses for the initiating and managing the first decade of Macsyma
|
|
development (mid-60's to mid-70's), UC Berkeley's Richard Fateman for
|
|
porting Macsyma to vmunix, on the Vax as vaxima and later on the Sun as
|
|
svaxima (late 70's to early 80's), and UTexas's Bill Schelter for his
|
|
well-planned port to Common Lisp (late 80's).

AH> networking from operating properly so I can run linux on a class B

network?
|
|
|
|
It is running on a subnetted class B network here - both with SLS 1.03
|
|
and with SlackWare 1.02.
|
|
|
|
If you are using SLS 1.03, installing via NFS works only with the
|
|
5,25" boot disk version (it has an "old", solid pl9 kernel). Later
|
|
it works with subnetted B-class nets by means of a "patched" libc
|
|
(it is called 4.4.2 there).
|
|
|
|
If you are using Slack 1.02, installing via NFS works only if you
|
|
fake a class C network during install. :-)
|
|
Later it will work with subnetted B-class nets - but I wonder why:
|
|
it has the "old" route.c (like SLS), and the libc is called 4.4.1.

Which way else?

I saw GATEWAY has a pentium out recently. They are talking about a new
|
|
superior (???) PCI board. I have no idea about the PCI. Will LINUX
|
|
work with such a system?

I have the entry:

in my fstab... Just make sure that there is a blank line at the end

of the fstab file. If I put something as the very last line, mount seems

I found a post on one of the groups that suggested to put the broadcast in the
|
|
ifconfig line before the netmask, and that seemed to fix the problem.

I downloaded the dclock.tar.z stuff from sunsite.unc.edu and
|
|
after installing the binaries when I try to use them they
|
|
respond with "can'T load library /lib/XtVen.so.2.1" but none
|
|
of the README file that accompany this package mentions anything
|
|
about this! Am I missing something or is this library supposed
|
|
to exist on my system? (by the way I did look for it and found
|
|
out yes it doesn't exist) If this is supposed to be there can
|
|
someone tell me where at sunsite to look for it (or elsewhere).

Sorry but in you current configuration there is no hope. Linux only boots
|
|
from a high density floppy drive.

You will have to borrow/buy a high density floppy drive. 3.5 is better
|
|
than a 5.35.
|
|
|
|
Sorry for the bad news. The only ray of hope is that you really can
|
|
function without the floppy after you've installed linux.
