Then you will need 16MB of RAM. (You will need this if you are running

Object Center or any of that kind of stuff). For building X apps you
|

will probably need a lot more disk. If your 200MB has already got something

Linux will run fine in 4MB, to run X you really need 8MB (yes there
|
|
are a few minimalists who do it in 4MB), to do X development you
|
|
should consider 16MB as a minimum.
|
|
|
|
LILO (the linux loader) will boot almost anything from anywhere
|
|
and allow you to choose at a prompt what you want to boot. It
|
|
is configurabale to do almost anything. IDE disks are no problem.
|
|
SCSI is normally no problem either but make sure your card is
|
|
supported.
|
|
|
|
You can put Linux and DOS/Windows on the same disk. No problem.
|
|
|
|
You should consider where you are going to get the necessary X libraries
|
|
etc. If you need the source code to them you might consider investing
|
|
in a CDROM drive otherwise you better get yet more disk space.
|
|
|

Get a decent source code control system and learn how to use it before

|
|
|

Wouldn't this be a bit confusing to some users? IMHO, most people are used
|
|
to _both_ even and odd numbered versions of software (operating systems
|
|
included) being considered ``stable'' releases, while some alternative
|
|
method (such as the string ``ALPHA'' or ``BETA'', or simply an ``a'' or
|
|
``b'' following the main version number (``1.1'' for example)) is used to
|
|
indicate ``development'' or ``unstable'' releases.
|
|
|
|
In addition, due to the possible confusion which could occur from the
|
|
``even == stable, odd == development'' method, I'd imagine that even _more_
|
|
bandwidth in the comp.os.linux.* newsgroups would be needlessly wasted with
|
|
messages asking such questions as (from a new user), ``Why is Linux broken
|
|
[using v1.3]?'' or ``What's the difference between Linux v1.1 and v1.2?''
|
|
|
|
In other words, what _I'm_ suggesting is a version numbering method like
|
|
this:
|
|
|
|
1.0 Stable (hope)
|
|
1.0.x minor bugfixes
|
|
|
|
1.1 ALPHA
|
|
or 1.1 BETA development
|
|
1.1.x ALPHA
|
|
or 1.1.x BETA bugfixes, new features, more development
|
|
|
|
After 1.1.x ALPHA (or BETA) seems to be stable, we rename the last version as:
|
|
|
|
1.1 Stable
|
|
1.1.x minor bugfixes
|
|
|
|
Then, work begins on the next development:
|
|
|
|
1.2 ALPHA
|
|
or 1.2 BETA development
|
|
1.2 ALPHA
|
|
or 1.2.x BETA bugfixes, new features, more development
|
|
|
|
Which, when ``stable'', is renamed to:
|
|
|
|
1.2 Stable
|
|
1.2.x minor bugfixes

One possibility is to use mirror, the package that some archive sites
|
|
use to keep up their mirrors. I can be set up to get an entire
|
|
director and subdirectories. This is what the config file would look
|
|
like for slackware:
|
|
|
|
package=slackware
|
|
comment=The Linux Slackware Distribution
|
|
site=ftp.cdrom.com
|
|
remote_dir=pub/linux/slackware
|
|
local_dir=/foo/bar/slackware
|
|
mail_to=foofoo
|
|
|
|
The mirror package is available at:
|
|
|
|
src.doc.ic.ac.uk [146.169.2.1]
|
|
directory: computing/archiving/mirror
|
|
(shortcut packages/mirror)
|
|
|
|
Although it was originally intended to be used for continuous upkeep
|
|
of a collectin it works great for getting files just once. One thing
|
|
you have to watch out for (especially if you are doing the ftpping
|
|
from a linux box): check the logs when the program has finished for
|
|
the files that it timed out on. You will have to go back and get
|
|
those; either by hand or just run mirror again (it only gets files it
|
|
doesn't already have).

Oh my, wouldn't that be too bad. Really now, we're talking about unix
|
|
systems administration and kernel level stuff (yes, compiling and
|
|
installing a new kernel is kernel level in my book -- most computer
|

users don't do this ever). I think if you want to get involved at this
|
|
level of the system, you can expect to learn at least a small amount of
|
|
technical detail. Maybe even/odd versioning isn't used in the software
|
|
you encounter, but I've certainly seen it often enough.

|
Date: 29 Mar 1994 06:32:19 GMT
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hello good people,
|
|
|
|
I noticed that my OPTI 495SLC mother board + TI486DLC40 does not
|
|
enable 486DLC's internal cache when running Linux. In AMI bios settings I
|
|
have both external (128K) cache and internal cache set enabled.
|
|
|
|
I tried enabling/disabling the internal cache, and sure enough, under
|
|
does all the benchmarks showed the expected results.
|
|
|
|
How do I know it is not enabled under Linux? Well, I get 7.98
|
|
Bogomips on linux. I tried CxPatch, and the Bogomips jumped to 13.21.
|
|
Unfortunately the system then died to a message along the lines:
|
|
|
|
Aha1542.c got the interrupt but no mail.
|
|
|
|
Sorry, can't remember the exact wording. However, seems that DMA has
|
|
not updated the cache.
|
|
|
|
Has anybody successfully licked this problem?
|
|
|
|
Software versions:
|
|
CxPatch v0.25, linux 0.99.13p, libc4.4.4, gcc 2.4.5.
|
|
|
|
Hardware:
|
|
OPTI 495SLC MB with TI495DLC, IIT4C87DLC, 128K Cache
|
|
AMI Bios v2.1
|
|
|
|
|

Please email the replys; I'll summarize on request.

Shouldn't even be all that difficult. At least some Unix ftp clients
|
|
(e.g. Sun) can direct the receive stream to standard output - so you
|
|
should be able to pipe this into tar.
|
|
|
|
Or, alternatively, write a C program to use pipe() to create a named
|
|
pipe "file", persuade your FTP client to "append" to this pipe, and
|
|
start up a tar process which reads its input from the pipe.

Subject: cluster-patches lead to error on fsync
|
|
Date: Tue, 29 Mar 1994 21:11:40 GMT
|
|
|
|
When I use the cluster patches with Linux 1.0, some fsync() calls return
|
|
EIO (unix error 5, "I/O error"). This behavior is the same since several
|
|
releases of Linux and the cluster pathches. The same binaries run well,
|
|
as long as I don't use these patches.
|
|
|
|
Did anybody encounter this problem? And does this one know of any workaround?
|
|
|
|
Background: I ported a DBMS system to Linux. It ensures that the write
|
|
operations went onto the disk via fsync() calls. (As far as I know, O_SYNC
|
|
isn't implemented yet, right?) This leads to quite a lot of fsync() calls.
|
|
I cannot reproduce the phenomen with a simple test program which does just
|
|
a few write()'s and fsync()'s. It would take me a lot of time to get a
|
|
debug version of the software; that's why I'm asking "the net".

I'm not sure what it is exactly that you want. There is indeed no

profil() system call in the Linux kernel, but there is a routine in
|

the C library under that name which does the same thing.
|

MY SOLUTION:
|
|
I experienced the same behaviour last summer ( even OS/2 2.0 TRAPed every
|
|
10 minutes). I installed a ventilator and NEVER saw this again.
|
|
I traced this down to the room temperature, the higher the temperature the
|
|
less time would OS/2 run. In Linux it happened nearly only when I compiled a
|
|
new Kernel (there you could continue, OS/2 had to be rebooted).

**** I did this. Unfortunately, I didn't have space on my Sun workstation to hold both
|
|
the tarred file and the directories. So I wound up getting the stuff all over again,
|
|
directory by directory.
|
|
|
|
I dreamt of a script that would activate FTP, tell it to get slackware.tar, and pipe its
|
|
output straight up to tar on my machine, which would then spew out files and directories.
|
|
Probably an impossible dream......

Hi,
|
|
|
|
yesterday at home I've got following error (on my new box)
|
|
|
|
scsi0: reseting for second half of retries
|
|
SCSI disk error: host 0 id 0 lun 0, return code 27070000
|
|
scsidisk I/O error: dev 0806, sector ???
|
|
|
|
This happened after a X-Crash, while checking the filesystem,
|
|
and the solution was to let the system cool down for 10 minutes,
|
|
afterwards it worked again.
|
|
|
|
My problem is that the X-Crash seems to repeat itself more often, but
|
|
thats another story. So what does this message mean?
|
|
|
|
My software:
|
|
Slackware 1.1.2 -> Linux kernel pl15f with PLIP compiled in and
|
|
without normal harddisk support, without SCSI support
|
|
except Adaptec 1542 support.
|
|
My Hardware:
|
|
SOYO (not sure about the name) VESA LB motherboard.
|
|
32MB RAM
|
|
2ser+1par I/O card.
|
|
SCSI controller: Buslogic 445 (is recognised as Adaptec 1542)
|
|
I/O adr: 330, IRQ 10/11 (not sure now, it's the default)
|
|
HD: QUANTUM ProDrive 1800 S
|
|
|
|
The kernel detects
|
|
QUANTUM PD1800S Revision 3162
|
|
Type: Direct-access Ansi-Rev. 2
|
|
|
|
Another thing: Sometime after a cold reboot the kernel just halt without any
|
|
messages at this time. This is not that big a trouble, because it happens really
|
|
seldom.
|
|
|
|
Thanx in advance for any suggestions,
|
|
|
|
Andreas
|
|
|
|
P.S.: I'll upgrade today to Linux 1.0 and see if the problem goes away.

Subject: IDE disk contoller and segmentation faults
|
|
Date: Wed, 30 Mar 1994 09:40:06 GMT
|
|
|
|
I'm having problems when using gcc experiencing the well known SIGSEGV
|
|
when compiling the kernel. I consider this as a matter of the overall
|
|
stability of the hardware so I would really like to get rid of it. I
|
|
tried to play with some BIOS settings like wait states, AT bus speed,
|
|
etc., I got a new and more memory, to no avail.
|
|
|
|
Is there anybody who successfully eliminated segmentation faults by
|
|
replacing the HD VLB controller? Would you contact me please?
|
|
|
|
My hardware: 486-66 VLB, 16M RAM/16M swap partition, A7VL IDE controller,
|
|
IDE HD Maxtor 7345A; currently running Linux v1.0.

No, its not ready yet. There is a person working on it (Scott Ferris), but
|
|
he hasn't had much time to work on it lately apparently. He says he will
|
|
be having more time in the upcoming weeks to do so..

Can someone tell me how to cross-compile something under Linux

to be run under DOS? I'm really getting sick of Quick-C...
