|

|

Ennyway, in fvwm, you don't have to have all that stuff in your .xinitrc.
|
||
in the .fvwmrc file there should be a section "FvwmInit" (or close, grep
|
||
for it) that can start the stuff up each time you start a session.
|
||
|
||
Fvwm can do about ennything any other wm can do & better.

Sorry about this but as much as I detest Solaris, the network speed is A1.
|
||
Two identical Sparc 5/65s with Solaris 2.3 will sustain 970 to 980 KB/s
|
||
with ftp (a 15MB file - my Gnu addons to make Solaris halfway bearable).
|
||
This is over a Uni net with a central Powerhub switching subnet packets
|
||
and god knows what sort of router spagetti between the 2 machines.
|
||
|
||
At home I upgraded my 486-33 to an ASUS 486-66 PCI, the old 486 went into the
|
||
mailbox machine (the two are networked). This more than doubled the avg.
|
||
throughput over the old 386 in there. I now get about 470KB sustained.
|
||
Before it hovered around 170KB. Both machines with 1.1.51.
|
||
|
||
Hope that helps.

Hope you don't mind my jumping in here, but have you had a look at Waffle?
|
||
Waffle comes in both DOS and UNIX flavours (orginally written under Unix). IT
|
||
is one of the most configurable BBS programs around, and has built in UUCP for
|
||
mail and news. What's more is, it's CHEAP! And yes, it will run under Linux.
|
||
There are several Linux installations at present, and a big move on to create
|
||
more. We are going to set up Waffle under Linux within a month or so
|
||
(currently running under DOS).
|
||
|
||
If you want more information let me know!
|
||
|
||
email: bwiest@suspects.com (Bill Wiest)
|
||
|
||
And, check out comp.bbs.waffle!

Interesting. It depends, I think, on your distribution. There is no
|
||
automagically mechnism to rename the message files.
|
||
|
||
The bootmessages aren't there anyway. But you should be able to
|
||
retrieve them not to long after the reboot by issuing the
|
||
`dmesg' command. Or include such a command in your startup files and
|
||
let it redirect it's output too the syslog files.

|

It is a feature of X11 - programs can either share their colormap with the
|
||
system and just allocate a few colors for themselves, or they use a private colormap
|
||
getting all the colors, but only inside their own window.
|
||
|
||
You will see the same when using the visual schnautzer of xv which uses a
|
||
private colormap because of the individual multicolor icons for each gif/jpg...
|
||
|
||
xfractint -private yields the same result - more colors but ugly behaviour.

Of course, that possible. The only thing you have to do is:
|
||
|
||
1) log in under linux
|
||
2) start the "xinit" program, with a ~/.xinitrc-file
|
||
(or /usr/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc) , which does some initialisations and
|
||
starts no window-manager (fvwm), but instead a xterm as last application
|
||
(without "&"!)

3) You have to allow X-access for the Sun-Workstations:
|
||
"xhost +" (enable all hosts on the internet)
|
||
or
|
||
"xhost leo pippi.geophys.nat.tu-bs.de" (enable only hosts "pippi" and "leo")
|
||
|
||
4) rlogin -l <username_on_workstation> <name_of_workstation>
|
||
|
||
5) Set DISPLAY-Environment-variable of the workstation to your LinuX computer:
|
||
(ksh) export DISPLAY=prometheus:0.0
|
||
or
|
||
(csh) setenv DISPLAY prometheus:0.0
|
||
|
||
6) Start window-manager on the workstation:
|
||
"olwm &"
|
||
|
||
|
||
Now you have full access to the mouse-panels and the programs of the workstation.
|
||
Perhaps you have edit the PATH Environment variable so that the workstation is
|
||
able to find X-Programs. You can iconify the first xterm now. Do not destroy or
|
||
delete it until you have closed/exited/deleted all X-applications on
|
||
the workstation!
|
||
After exiting the workstations X-apps, you can exit the window-manager
|
||
(menu in the mouse-panels). At last, you can log off the workstation
|
||
from the first xterm and then you can exit the LinuX-X by exiting the
|
||
first "xterm"

Date: 22 Sep 1994 19:18:05 GMT
|

|
||
|
||
hello, folks!
|
||
|
||
I have been through all linux- and sgi-relevant newsgroups, but
|
||
didn't found an answer to my problem:
|
||
|
||
I exported a dos-partition from a linux-486-pc (slackware 1.0.9,
|
||
Kernel 1.1.18). This is locally mounted with
|
||
'/dev/sdb5 /dos_data msdos rw,exec,umask=000,conv=auto'.
|
||
Next I nfs-mounted this on a SGI-INDIGO2 running IRIX 5.2 .
|
||
At first everything seems to be fine: the parent directory an all
|
||
of its mounted contents have permissions '-rwxrwxrwx root root'.
|
||
BUT: nobody else than root can write to this device when logged on
|
||
the indigo. Write access is denied with the message:
|
||
'Cannot create filename - Not privileged'.
|
||
More precisely, it is not possible to create non-zero-length
|
||
files. All FAT-operations like deleting files and 'touch'ing new
|
||
files work well.
|
||
Logging in the linux-system with the same non-root-user-account I
|
||
can do what I want on the dos-device.
|
||
|
||
I experimented a lot and read probably all relevant manuals. So I
|
||
think it is basically not possible (for some reason) to do what I
|
||
want to do.
|
||
|
||
I'm looking forward to your suggestions, thanks in advance !

Create the file /etc/HOSTNAME and write your favorite name in it.
|

Perhaps with "echo name >/etc/HOSTNAME", where name is what you want.

Yes, it works fairly well (look at any sunsite mirror for 'amd').

However, I have been unable to get it to work with NFS mounted directories

I hope this isn't in a FAQ, but may be it should be.
|
||
|
||
I have a HP LaserJet II connected to my Linux box. If I turn on my
|
||
printer at computer start-up, before the Linux kernel loads, everything
|
||
is fine: lpr prints, ghostscript does its job, etc. However, if I turn on
|
||
my printer when Linux is already running, it doesn't go online. It's as
|
||
if something is being sent to the parallel port that interferes with the
|
||
printer, but if the printer is started before Linux loads, it grabs
|
||
control of the parallel port and works.
|
||
|
||
Does anybody know what is is? I'm running kernel 1.1.19 with PLIP
|
||
disabled. Thanks,
|
||
|
||
Max

I want to install Linux on my DOS formatted 420 Meg HD with
|
||
minimal headache. I have heard of a couple ways of doing
|
||
this, and was wondering which way would be easiest, and
|
||
better performance wise. How does running Linux ontop of
|
||
the DOS 16bit format run?

I spoke to Linus about this in Heidelberg, and the solution that
|
||
we came up with was to use dynamic allocation of major numbers. The only
|
||
tricky part is that you somehow need a way of refreshing the /dev/ entries
|
||
whenever you load the module.
|
||
|
||
How about a /dev pseudo-filesystem, like /proc?
|
||
|
||
Preferably, this would be mounted as an inherting
|
||
filesystem on /dev, allowing for the creation of
|
||
symbolic links and the like.
|
||
|
||
This would also have a nice side effect of letting us have
|
||
consistant device names for SCSI devices as new devices
|
||
are added to the system.

|

|
||
No, because it would be impossible to change the permissions and
|
||
ownership. It would be some new file in /proc (or perhaps /proc/device) that
|
||
would be used to help the system rebuild the entries in /dev. Perhaps
|
||
modutils could be modified to know about what needs to be done?

Err, it is included, it does work for me. Note that a fixed version was

released soon after the initial version. This corrected problems with
|

pixel doubling. I do however agree that switching resolution is the best
|
||
(although the least elegant) solution.

I am running smail with kernel 1.1.13.

Under the /usr/spool/smail directory , there is a directory

input/
|

this seems to have some mail mesages that have not been forwarded.

How can I force smail to send these on their way ?
