Hi Linux/X/Mosaic gurus ( can you guess what I'm going to ask ? :-) )
|
|
|
|
Yes, You've guessed it - I want to compile/install mosaic on my linux box.
|
|
X is working quite happily, but I need to know what to do to compile mosaic,
|
|
i.e. decent makefile settings etc. If anybody can give me the noddy guide
|
|
to Mosaic under linux, I'd be really grateful.
|
|
|
|
please, could you e-mail me direct as I've got a really SLOW news feed.
|
|

thanks,

They all do. Even the SGI version. I think it's quite cute. Shows just how

literally it was ported. Then again, that message could come from the WAD

I have my Lilo set up to ask whether I want to run DOS or Linux at boot-up.

The problem is, if I crash the machine remotely, and I manange to re-boot

it, it will stay at the Lilo prompt until I can get back to my room to hit
|

enter (to run linux). Is there a way to set up Lilo so that after a minute,

Subject: Partitioning Question
|
|
Date: 12 Sep 1994 18:09:47 GMT
|
|
|
|
So once I set my partitions (say 250 for Linux and 270 for DOS) using FIPS
|
|
or FDISK - is there a way to resize the Linux partition? I mean, is there a
|
|
way other than backing up all the data on the Linux partition, deleting that
|
|
partition, then resizing the DOS partition, then remounting the Linux partition,
|
|
then restoring the data on it.
|
|
|
|
I've downloaded quite a bit of stuff for installing Linux. I don't remember
|
|
exactly, but I think it was all the a,ap,x,xd,xv and a few other disks (all the
|
|
gnu stuff too). All tolled, I think I've got about 40+. The HOWTO says a
|
|
ROUGH estimate is about 2.5 megs per disk. I'm just not sure how much to
|
|
allocate for this thing. 250 seems fine but I would love to get away with 200
|
|
so DOS would have more room to breathe.

Thanks,

|

I've just recently (a month ago) gotten linux installed on my box at home, and
|
|
this past week I've spent setting up term v1.19. What I'd like to do is set
|
|
term up so that I can read my news from home, since they're yanking the
|
|
account that I've got tin on in the next week or so.
|
|
|
|
Supposedly, I can run term and use tredir to redirect my nnpt port from my
|
|
local port 119 to a remote nnpt feed. I've checked with the guy who runs the
|
|
machine that I want to get my nntp feed from, but he's worried about security.
|
|
He's afraid that I'll be able to configure my machine at home to have any
|
|
internet address I want, and he considers that to be a security risk.
|
|
|
|
Are his fears warrented? I know that I can change my internet address, and I
|
|
figure that it would be that address and not the address of the unix box that
|
|
I'm running the term client on at school that would show up if someone wanted
|
|
to trace the users of port 119, but is there a way to set it up so that the
|
|
address would show up as that of the unix box at school?

I don't think this is an smail question, but more Linux related

therefore I am posting it here. If I am wrong, please don't

flame me.
|
|
|
|
I am running Linux 1.0 with uucp Taylor 1.04 and smail 3.1.28
|
|
for a uucp only site.
|
|
|
|
I am able to succesfully send mail between local users and also
|
|
to the internet, but ONLY as a root user. All other users cannot
|
|
send mail to the internet via my uucp host.
|
|
|
|
Using pine or the command line as a user other than root, gives no error
|
|
message. I have read all HOW-TO's, readmes, manuals, man notes
|
|
and spent several long days on this.
|
|
|
|
I think I was able to do this until I tried to instal cnews :-(
|
|
I used /usr/lib/smail/tools.linux/mkconfig to set up my config files.
|
|
Since it works for the root user, I feel it may be a Linux problem.
|
|
|
|
I would sincerely appreciate any help.
|
|
|
|
Below are the details of my /usr/spool/smail/logs/logfile. It
|
|
clearly show how local mail works ok, mail sent by root to an
|
|
external user (vmittal@ecs.umass.edu) is ok, however, mail sent
|
|
by any other user (vmittal) to an external user *does not* work.
|
|

I would appreciate any help.

Thankyou very much.

Could you be more explicit? What did you try to do? Did you boot it up

and log-in as install? (If you didn't, its RTFM time. The Yygdrasil

|
Date: 12 Sep 1994 18:36:12 GMT
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hello one and all...
|
|
|
|
In setting up the partitions of my 540 MB hard disk,
|
|
I have created only one partition on this disk - a 380 MB
|
|
MS-DOS partition.
|
|
|
|
Question: am I correct in assuming that one (and only one)
|
|
MS-DOS (primary) partition is required on the entire hard disk?
|
|
|
|
Correct me if I'm wrong... you don't create a Linux partition using
|
|
MS-DOS' FDISK utility. The Install Documentation is a little vague
|
|
to me on this.
|
|
|
|
After creating the boot and root disks with bare.gz and
|
|
color144.gz, and after having booted my PCI Pentium PC into
|
|
Linux, I run into the following problems...
|
|
|
|
I run SETUP, and it tells me that I do not have Linux
|
|
partitions set up. Next I enter
|
|
|
|
fdisk /dev/hda2
|
|

Well Dave,
|
|
If you really want to do this, H.J. Lu's GCC release is a good
|
|
starting point... You can find it on sunsite in /pub/Linux/GCC or on the
|
|
InfoMagic CD set disc1 in sunsite/GCC.
|
|
Happy Hacking!

iI have a 486DX-33,8 Meg ram and cheap 1M VLB. Under Doom Dos hte game moves
|
|
quite well but with slight lapses, this may be my panic during play :-)))
|
|
|
|
With X the game moves well enought to play , without sound. But....Even
|
|
in the smallest window it isn't quite right for me. When the window is active
|
|
Doom is GREAT! but the background is black except for traces of the window title
|
|
bares. When the other windows are active, they are fine, but DOOM is blacke!!
|
|
|
|
What's up. I havnt' seen anyone else see this prob..
|
|
|
|
Thanks......Colin Ryan....ryan@ecf.utoronto.ca
