Hi all. I'd think this is the right group to ask, but if not, please
|
||
point me in the right direction..
|
||
|
||
I have a few linux boxes on our network, and everything was going fine.
|
||
Then, when some guys in the building across from us (but on the same
|
||
net) were trying to install a netblazer, three of these broadcast as
|
||
128.186.7.255, when their addresses are 128.186.7.x, where x <> 255.
|
||
|
||
I tried running install.net again, but nothing. I changed the netmask
|
||
from 2 to three octects -- nothing. To tell the truth, I'm stumped.
|
||
|
||
The machines aren't running exactly the same configurations, but they
|
||
all run the 1.0.4 kernel, the one that comes with MCC 1.0+.
|
||
|
||
Any help, or hyper-help would be helpful (read VERY helpful..),

In the INVOCATION section I find
|
||
|
||
.PP
|
||
If Bash is invoked as
|
||
.BR sh ,
|
||
it tries to mimic the behavior of
|
||
.B sh
|
||
as closely as possible. For a login shell, it attempts to
|
||
source only
|
||
.I /etc/profile
|
||
and
|
||
.IR ~/.profile ,
|
||
in that order. The
|
||
.B \-noprofile
|
||
option may still be used to disable this behavior.
|
||
A shell invoked as
|
||
.B sh
|
||
does not attempt to source any other startup files.
|
||
|
||
Suggestions for improvement may be sent to chet@po.cwru.edu.

This should be in the FAQ!
|
||
|
||
There is a cyclic reference in the application default files.
|
||
|
||
XFig calls XFig-color, XFig-color calls XFig, until all memory is exhausted.
|
||
Have a look at them.

Please read the original question more carefully. The poster asked
|
||
about AIX 3.2.5, not Linux. He did crosspost the question to more
|
||
newsgroups than Uncle Scrooge owns dimes :-)
|
||
|

For my taste, neither Linux nor AIX are real Unixes anyway ...

Sorry for the followup, but I should have mentioned that in all cases I
|

was running DOOM in high detail with the largest screen you can get
|
||
without losing the mode line at the bottom, and I'm using the registered
|
||
WAD with those demos.
|
||
|
||
I do have a lot of swapping going on. I only had X, fvwm, and 3 xterms
|
||
running though: I'm not sure how I could trim things down further... I
|
||
did put the WAD onto my ext2 filesystem instead of pointing to it on my
|
||
DOS filesystem. Maybe I'll try the shareware WAD and see what happens.

Whatever you do, if you have DOS data on the first partition NEVER run

|

Unless I'm wrong you should be able to use DOS fdisk to make the next

partition but use Linux to format it.
|

For future reference: anyone know if DOS "fdisk /mbr" will recover from

what I did to my hard drive with Linux? It's too late for my drive now; I

Mark,
|
||
Forgive me for not including bits and pieces of about 20 memos :), but
|
||
anyway... I have a 386DX33 w/8M and 11M Swap. I have a Speedstar (ET4000)
|
||
video card. Doom runs at a decent speed (considering X is running too)
|
||
without sound. With sound, it borders on the verge of not being playable.
|
||
|
||
Hmmm...sounds like there is definatly something screwy w/ your system.

Subject: 1.1.45 "stops" occasionally
|
||
Date: Wed, 14 Sep 1994 11:57:42 GMT
|
||
|
||
|
||
Hi folks...
|
||
Here's my sad story :(
|
||
|
||
I upgraded from 1.1.18 to 1.1.45 and immediately patched all the
|
||
way to 1.1.49. Everything seemed to be running fine. A few days
|
||
later I grabbed 1.1.50 and installed that. Then, after about a day
|
||
or so, the system just suddenly stopped. Dead. Keyboard, network,
|
||
modem (was receiving at the time) all just died. Reset Time! Since
|
||
I was in X at the time, I couldn't see any warning messages and
|
||
~adm/messages didn't seem to capture them.
|
||
|
||
So I did what anyone would do. I went back to 1.1.49 and (basically)
|
||
the same thing happened.
|
||
|
||
I *believe* that after one of these halts (it took about 4 before
|
||
I was convinced) I saw "Oops" from the kernel just as I rebooted.
|
||
(You know, just as you reboot and the video card flips back to page
|
||
one you can see what *was* there...) Unfortunately that was all
|
||
I could see and haven't seen it since.
|
||
|
||
So then I went all the way back to 1.1.45. That was all going great
|
||
for a couple of days. But then, as I was reading news under X, everything
|
||
just quit again! My plan was to confirm that 1.1.45 was OK and then
|
||
install all the way to 1.1.50, letting each one run for a few days to
|
||
see if it would die. Unfortunately, now that 1.1.45 has died I'm at a loss.
|
||
|
||
BTW: 1.1.18 ran for two weeks or so before I started the upgrade.
|
||
It never seemed to have a problem
|
||
|
||
Has anyone else had any problems? I haven't seen any on the net...
|
||
|
||
Does anyone have any suggestions?
|
||
|
||
Here is my hardware:

Hi,
|
||
|
||
Using term, you could have tin -r setup in your nntpserver to connect to
|
||
localhost, which is 127.0.0.1.
|
||
|
||
Also, no one would be able to telnet or ftp to your box unless you
|
||
redirect a port on his box, which, to anyone wanting to get into your
|
||
box, would have to know the port number you've used, while still having
|
||
to telnet or ftp to his box *first* ie: telnet your.internet.provider:4023.
|
||
|
||
If you arbitrarily assigned yourself an address, no one would be able to
|
||
find you, as term does not do any broadcasting (as far as I know). And
|
||
you would *not* be able to redirect any of *his* reserved ports.
|
||
|
||
Therefore, you would not be able to snatch any packets destined for
|
||
your host machine addressed the "normal" way.
|
||
|
||
I don't see any foundation for his worries here, (with respect to term
|
||
and his box) except for not knowing exactly what term is.
|
||
|
||
Hope this helps.
|
||
|
||
P.S. I suggest using term 2.0 and higher, it now supports udp packets
|
||
and port redirecting. (also allows shared mode.)
