|
|
|
|
In an Ideal world some one would write a dos/windows emulator
|
|
for linux but I have a simpler idea.
|
|
|
|
Most people who want a dos emulator have at least a partition with dos
|
|
on it, a partition with linux and a swap partition.
|
|
|
|
What if two commands could be add to the kernel:
|
|
|
|
save_stop which put ever process into the swap,
|
|
saved its internal state, the screen etc..
|
|
|
|
resume (a boot option) which would load its internal stat
|
|
from the swap and resume the processs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then a program could be written whic save/stoped unix and ran dos.
|
|
Is this possible?

You can get 0.53 from tsx-11. It's in a directory
|
|
pub/linux/ALPHA/dosemu/private/devel. Everything in private is hidden so you
|
|
have to jump over it ( i.e cd ALPHA/dosemu/private/devel instead of cd private
|
|
ls). Once you get to devel you can ftp the file. I don't know what the delay
|
|
in releasing it is. It seems fairly stable and functional to me.
|
|
|
|
On the same subject does anyone know where there is some documentation on
|
|
pdipx. I couldn't get it to work (at least netx failed to find a server and I
|
|
assume that's because pdipx failed). I couldn't find any information about
|
|
command line parameters or troubleshooting.

Subject: another /usr howto?
|
|
Date: 2 Sep 1994 21:44:04 -0400
|
|
|
|
I have my 1st disk with a minimal linux on one of its partitions. I have
|
|
a 2nd disk with LOTS of disk space on it and I would like to have it come
|
|
up as /usr.
|
|
|
|
I would like to mount this 2nd disk as /usr and install all kinds of stuff
|
|
on it. Then use it as the /usr instead of the minimal one on the 1st
|
|
disk.
|
|
|
|
How do I do it?
|
|
|
|
Here is what I think ought to be done, but I need some good advice to make
|
|
sure this will work:
|
|
|
|
1. create the minimal /usr on the 2nd disk
|
|
a. mount 2nd disk on /mnt
|
|
b. cd /usr
|
|
c. cp -Rd /mnt
|
|
d. edit /etc/fstab and add the following line after the root
|
|
partition
|
|
/dev/sda1 /usr ext2 defaults
|
|
e. reboot to make 2nd /usr happen
|
|
|
|
2. install all my other packages.
|
|
|
|
Is the above how I would do it? Any snags on the above?

We have a machine with an Intel EtherExpress at the university.
|
|
I took a 1.1.24 kernel, enabled ALPHA drivers and the EtherExpress
|
|
driver and tried to install Slackware 2.0 via NFS. The reason this did
|
|
not work right away was a lack of knowledge about IP, ifconfig, route
|
|
etc on my behalf. Sitting down with the Network Administrators Guide
|
|
1.0 (this is a must have) solved every problem.

I don't think it is like that...
|
|
The task cannot be killed because it is hanging in a device driver. However,
|
|
device drivers should never hang. When the disk is corrupted, the read
|
|
or write should return with an errorcode. It is the responsability
|
|
of the filesystem code to make sure that the filesystem is not further
|
|
corrupted. (e.g. by setting the disk to read-only)

Most likely some mistake in the configuration of networking, and/or a

mismatch between the kernel version and the version of the networking

utilities.

Hi,
|
|
|
|
I am still stuck since a week with a network problem and I pull my hairs
|
|
off (and eat my nails also). Please help !!!!!!!!
|
|
|
|
I was running slackware 1.2 without problem for a while and upgraded
|
|
my system WITH THE ORIGINAL/FULL DISTRIBUTION from sunsite.unc.edu. Since, I
|
|
can't anymore boot my new kernel with my 3C503 card.
|
|
|
|
I get this #$&#*$&! SIOCADDRT Invalid Argument ass soon as I try to
|
|
access it.
|
|
|
|
o I have tried to install NetKit A and B and noticed that ifconfig
|
|
returns something like
|
|
|
|
IRQ=0 and BaseAddr=0.
|
|
|
|
Also HWaddr=00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00
|
|
|
|
o What is REALLY wired is that the kernel boot and probe the card
|
|
correctely
|
|
|
|
3C503 probe at 0x2e0: not found
|
|
3C503 probe at 0x310: 02 60 8c 8d cb 6e
|
|
eth0: 3C503 with shared memory at 0xdc000-0xddfff
|
|
|
|
What does it mean ??? I am not a linux newbie and installed
|
|
successfully many systems (SLS and Slackware) without any kind of problem.
|
|
|
|
I don't believe there is an IRQ conflict somewhere (I have check the
|
|
BIOS also) and IT WAS WORKING BEFORE.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I have:
|
|
o make config
|
|
with correct setup
|
|
o edit ./drivers/net/CONFIG
|
|
o make zImage.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that it does THE SAME THING if I replace my 3c503 with a 3c509.
|
|
|
|
|
|
ARGGHHHH !!!! Please help me so I will not return to Slackware 1.2.

If you have the newer DOS client software for Netware, it is better
|
|
to use it instead of PDIPX. Get PDETHER 1.3 from the Novell site, and
|
|
create a NET.CFG file as documented in its docs.
|
|
Then start the networking like this:
|
|
|
|
cd \nwclient
|
|
lh lsl
|
|
lh pdether
|
|
lh ipxodi
|
|
lh vlm
|
|
|
|
When your network is using 802.3 instead of Ethernet-II (the latter is
|
|
preferred but the former is still de default provided by Novell, unfortunately)
|
|
include the following in dosemu.conf:
|
|

All the above assumes you are using the packetdriver method of accessing
|
|
the network. So you can have "ipxsupport off" in dosemu.conf, and you
|
|
don't need to include IPX in the kernel.

Actually I'd recommend getting it from:
|
|
|
|
ftp.uwa.edu.au /pub/nn/beta/nn-6.5.0.b3.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
Kim Storm no longer maintains nn and the version that most places have
|
|
is still 6.4.18. This newer nn is much nicer I have found as it
|
|
supports NOV so you don't have to run all the extra database programs
|
|
with nn. I had very little problems compiling nn-6.5.0 on Linux, but
|
|
you will have to make your own s-linux.h file. If the other site uses
|
|
NOV then you will get to see NN speed along over the nntp connection.

I tried the redirection thing (and yes I do know what the proc fs is)
|
|
and it did set the kcore size to zero.
|
|
|
|
Question: Since the file is marked as readonly, shouldn't the redirection
|
|
return some sort of error? If I create a normal file with 400 perm's
|
|
and try re-directing over it I get 'Persmission denied'. Also I can't
|
|
think of any reason why the size should be reset to zero.
|
|
|
|
P.S. trying to do this sort of stuff to a /proc file is silly, however
|
|
maybe this has uncovered a bug/feature in the /proc filesystem.
|
|
|
|
Catchya round, like a dohnut.

Or even better yet, check out the following package. Be sure to check
|
|
out the full documentation. Also there has been a new release since
|
|
I got this file and the file name could be different.

WHAT IS APSFILTER
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
APSFILTER is a lineprinter input filter for systems with a BSD alike
|
|
printing mechanism (lpd, /etc/printcap), that saves users a lot of work
|
|
when printing different file types no matter if compressed or not !!!
|
|
|
|
Additionally it enables non Postscript printers, that are supported
|
|
by the public domain postscript emulator "ghostscript" (gs), to
|
|
print postscript files !
|
|
|
|
Get apsfilter via ftp mail:

You bet they are broken. They are the same program and it's suppose to
|
|
check it's name to determine how it should work. However the name checking
|
|
code is broken (at least in my version).

|
|
|
|
Add you're host name to the above mentioned file as step 1.
|
|
|
|
Edit /etc/rc.d/rc.M and look for the lines that mention hostname and
|
|
domain name. Remove all references to domainname from this file as
|
|
step 2. Change the hostname line to say:
|
|
/bin/hostname -F /etc/HOSTNAME
|
|
or if that doesn't work use this:
|
|
/bin/hostname `cat /etc/HOSTNAME`
|
|
Also the line that says /bin/hostname_notcp you can change to:
|
|
/bin/hostname_notcp `cat /etc/HOSTNAME`
|
|
|
|
Also make sure that all files in /etc/rc.d have execute persmission.
|
|
Then edit /etc/resolv.conf and set your domain name in this file.
|
|
|
|
If you don't run named (or use an named on another machine) then remove
|
|
the 'nameserver' line from /etc/resolv.conf. Also edit /etc/host.conf and
|
|
change the first line to 'order hosts, bind'. Then add your host to
|
|
/etc/hosts and this should complete the setup.
|
|
|
|
Now you should be able to type hostname and get your correct name, also
|
|
hostname -f should give the FQDN and hostname -d the domainname. And if
|
|
I were you get the net-tools package and hack hostname.c to work
|
|
properly when called domainname.
