Look into the sysinstall/doinstall-skript - it expects to find files in

|

can someone help me with this problem.
|

are the two copies of term that I am using incompatible.

is Kermit doing the mess.

If so can I get a simple connection package, that I can

Subject: STB Multiport serial woes ...
|
|
Date: 1 Oct 1993 12:53:21 -0700
|
|
|
|
Having read this and that, I decided to go ahead with a purchase of the STB
|
|
four port serial card (sort of an AST fourport clone). Well, after having
|
|
finally navigated the difficulties (we had to purchase 9-pin to 25-pin
|
|
converters to attach our modems ... and of course they screwed up the gender
|
|
the first time) it seems that it is ignoring incoming data. To explain, if
|
|
I send, for example, ATZ, I see the modem flash both send and receive (as it
|
|
echoes the ATZ and then sends the OK). So the modem is functioning properly
|
|
and is sending the responses back, but I never see these responses on the
|
|
screen under kermit. I checked the cables out themselves and, according to
|
|
the docs I have, all the pins matched up just fine. (Then again, the docs
|
|
came from the people who made the cables ... *wink*) Anyway, I have some
|
|
small suspicion that, because I have no idea what the hell I'm doing, it might
|
|
be something in the software end. I'm running SLS 1.03 currently (0.99pl12
|
|
theoretically) and setserial 2.02. My rc.serial looks something like this
|
|
for the four ports:
|
|
|
|
/etc/setserial /dev/cua4 uart 16550A irq 15 port 0x1f8
|
|
/etc/setserial /dev/cua5 uart 16550A irq 15 port 0x1e8
|
|
/etc/setserial /dev/cua6 uart 16550A irq 15 port 0x2a8
|
|
/etc/setserial /dev/cua7 uart 16550A irq 15 port 0x1a8
|
|
|
|
Obviously, at least some of this is working, as transmitted characters go
|
|
through okay. I used mknod to make nodes for cua4-cua7 and ttyS4-ttyS7, by
|
|
simply incrementing minor device numbers (I actually made nodes for cua2-cua7
|
|
and ttyS2-ttyS7), since they didn't exist previously. Any comments, etc.,
|
|
would be extremely welcome. :)

Linux, and a really weird compilation (first, translate Fortran to C. Then

use the gcc compiler), it only takes 240 sec for the same run! (watch here,

MicroSoft!). Definitely, give it a try.

|
|
|
|
|
|
I had a couple of questions about X Windows with a few different video cards:
|
|
|
|
1) I am using a generic Paradise (Western Digital) color SVGA card with
|
|
256k of RAM. When I load X (startx), it first comes up in grey, then
|
|
switches to color. Then, all sorts of weird lines come up when I try to
|
|
move a window. Also, areas of the screen are not updated properly. I am
|
|
using the '00' WD setup (I think the full name is wd30c00 in Xconfig, not
|
|
really sure).
|
|
|
|
2) I know that currently there is no support for ATI Mach32. When will
|
|
support for these cards be available? Also, what about support for the
|
|
Hercules Graphite (IIT's AGX chip).
|
|
|
|
3) I am very new to the Unix world, and was wondering if there is a way to
|
|
make X look like Solaris 2.2 (or something similar -- from what I have
|
|
seen, it looks pretty dull).

Date: 1 Oct 1993 18:31:18 -0400
|
|
|
|
|
|
I have a couple of questions about using DOS from Linux.
|
|
|
|
1) I know that there is a DOS emulator that comes with Linux (I think I
|
|
have SLS 1.03, and the kernel is 00.99.12), and I know it was installed,
|
|
but how can I use it?
|
|
|
|
2) It seems there is a way to mount my DOS partition (/dev/hda1) from
|
|
Linux, but there was never an entry for it created in fstab, and the same
|
|
goes for my swap partition (/dev/hda3). I also haven't been able to
|
|
access the floppy drives (fd0 is 3.5" 1.44MB, fd1 is 5.25: 1.2MB).
|
|
|
|
3) Also, has anyone tried to use a Linux machine as a server on Windows
|
|
for Workgroups? I assume you would need the WFW TCP/IP drivers from
|
|
Microsoft ($25 extra).
|
|
|

Thanks.

From: levinson@vax.sonoma.edu

Date: 1 Oct 93 09:11:13 -0800
|
|
|
|
I posted a message earlier about my NFS problem, but did not get any replies.
|
|
|
|
I am running .99pl13 with NFS and cannot mount a filesystem on another system.
|
|
When I boot up .99pl9-6 I can mount it fine.
|
|
|
|
I notice that when .99pl9-6 boots, it said 3c503 GOT IRQ 5, but when .99pl13
|
|
boots it shows the unique address but does not show an IRQ.
|
|
|
|
Do I need new NET software? I noticed in the /linux/inet directorty that there
|
|
is a config system where you can change the ORQ address, and it is currently
|
|
set to 7 Will changing this number to 5 fix the problem?
|
|
|
|
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please respond via private e-mail

Some further clues:
|
|
|
|
On slow (non-turbo) boot attempts I sometimes get errors to the effect:
|
|
|
|
"837: failed to reset". Yes my system has an 80837 math copro. Linux
|
|
recognizes this hardware on boot-up, even when the chip is disabled in
|
|
my BIOS.
|
|
|
|
It has been mentioned thay my a1 boot floppy may need to be re-written.
|
|
I have however used this floppy to boot other PC's. Is it possible that
|
|
I have a buggy boot floppy ?
|
|
|
|
Thanks again for your help!

I just checked with Dan - he said that the port to his Microwave is fairly
|
|
stable and in alpha, but has delayed the refrigerator port due to major
|
|
rewrites required in X-Cheese and also handling exceptions for the
|
|
vegetable crisper which would require a kernal rebuild.

Just a quicky:
|
|
|
|
What's the difference between the SLS and SLACKWARE distributions? Different
|
|
kernal? ... It almost seems to me like two projects working concurrently.
|
|
|

sorry if this is an FAQ ...

BTW: where can I get a copy of the linux FAX?

Subject: Linux configuration for 3c503 card

|
We have a PC 486-50 with a 3c503 ethernet Card running Linux.
|
|
When we try to connect to the network the operating system reports
|
|
this error:
|
|
Network is unreachable.
|
|
|
|
We have a DROP Cable at the moment.
|
|
Of course, this is a configuration problem.
|
|
Is there someone who can help us ?
