I had that same problem, until I figured out which characters weren't

I once had a version of Linux fdisk, or efdisk, complaining about a bad magic
|
|
number but didn't take it too seriously. I suggest you try DOS fdisk or some
|
|
other tool such as Norton disk doctor to see if they spot the same problem.
|
|
You might find a tool that will correct the problem for you. I hope you have
|
|
got a bootable DOS floppy.

As the original poster, let me mention how I originally came up with the idea
|
|
of renting linux disks.
|
|
|
|
1. As a recent convert from DOS to Linux, the _last_ thing I needed was
|
|
another thirty 3.5" diskettes! I had plenty, and would have much preferred
|
|
someone letting me borrow their disks to install with and make copies from.
|
|
|
|
2. With only a 2400 baud modem, and nobody within quite a long ways running
|
|
linux, there really aren't that many alternatives!
|
|
|
|
So I thought that offerring to make install disks available on a rental basis
|
|
might appeal to others in my situation. Incidentally, though my initial
|
|
reaction to all the legal furor was to withdraw my offer, I am starting to
|
|
wonder if it really _is_ forbidden under the GPL. I'm in the process of
|
|
reading it, and if we can go ahead with our plans we probably will.

|
|
|
|
I know about the SLS distribution and it's 55Meg (?) disk
|
|
requirements... My question is, what is the smallest "neatly packaged"
|
|
(whatever that is :-]) Linux distribution? I do not need X as of right
|
|
now. Just a shell, minimal utilities, perl, and GNU C.
|
|
|
|
Can I realistically use Linux on a 30Meg partition? (I *need* a DOS
|
|
partition with at least MathCAD and pspice on it. That would take about
|
|
5M of my one and only 35M drive).
|
|
|
|
Does SLS lend itself easily to partial installation? What else could
|
|
I do?
|

Thanks in advance,

I just came back from a 8 day holiday, and Linux is still running

fine. It has been receiving and handling a lot of news and email in
|
|
the meantime. Thus, Linux is very stable. You must have done something

wrong.

I have a working port of CAP pl154, using UDP encapsulation. I
|
|
got everything compiled without that much effort. I nevertheless
|
|
(spelling?) have not managed to get the Shadow password support in aufs
|
|
working, ie, only works with out shadow passwds for people with null
|
|
passwds. I'll try to fix it this week, and then hopefully start looking
|
|
at Ethertalk/LocalTalk stuff. It would be very nice to see native
|
|
EtherTalk and LocalTalk support in CAP.
|
|
|
|
I will make a patch availiable once I considere it finished.
|
|
That includes figuring out HOW to make a decent patch file ;-)

Subject: Linux Install Summary
|
|
Date: Sun, 26 Sep 1993 17:23:05 GMT
|
|
|
|
About 2 weeks ago I began the lengthy process of installing Linux on my
|
|
machine. I'll provide this information in case it should be in FAQs or
|
|
hardware compatability files:
|
|
|
|
Gateway2000 4DX2-66Vesa Tower
|
|
Gateway2000 CrystalScan 1572FS
|
|
Diamond Speedstar Pro
|
|
8MB RAM
|
|
WD Caviar 424MB IDE Drive
|
|
Panasonic KX-P1180
|
|
|
|
The only trouble I had getting the base system installed and working was
|
|
getting the printer interrupt reset (gets set to IRQ 0x00 at boot, disabling
|
|
printer). This was easily accomplished with the tunelp.c program. 'lpd'
|
|
easily followed that.
|
|
|
|
I've got the getty-ps distribution but have not been able to make the ring back
|
|
work. As a matter of fact I've not been able to actually log into my machine
|
|
via modem yet. I'm looking forward to getting this working.
|
|
|
|
XFree86 installed and worked as-is, no problems with the Diamond Speedstar Pro
|
|
as suggested by some of the literature. No modifications have been made to
|
|
Xconfig.
|
|
|
|
OpenLook compiled (with quite a bit of hacking) and olvwm works fine now. I
|
|
still wish there was a Motif-like Window manager out there (that is FREE!), but
|
|
OpenLook is pretty nice, especially the HUGE virtual desktop provided.
|
|
|
|
Final analysis: Linux is GREAT!!! I couldn't have afforded a 'UNIX' this nice
|
|
if I'd had to buy one, so anyone out there who's undecided whether they want to
|
|
spend the time getting Linux up and working, trust me, it's worth it.

Cheers and GO BRAVES! 8^)

No. But you can create a soft link to your root partition or any other
|
|
partition to use those drive. For example, mount one drive as /usr1
|
|
and make a soft link from /usr1 to say /usr/spool/uucp.

OK then. I had this problem when the escape codes were wrong. Make
|
|
sure you put the codes linecheck gives you on the OTHER machine and
|
|
vice versa.
|
|
Also, I had to remove the default "ignore 17/19" lines.
|
|
Now it works excellent...

I'm using the xmosaic binaries for TERM from sunsite and I experience
|
|
frequent crashes, sometimes taking the X Server down with them
|
|
(this is with XFree86 1.3). Any ideas? Is it term's fault or xmosaics's?

I suspect rlogin is not suid root. I know that whenever *I* try to
|
|
compile my own little version of rlogin and don't run it as root I
|
|
get that message :)
|
|
|
|
To fix, do a chmod 4555 /usr/ucb/rlogin and chown root /usr/ucb/rlogin.
|
|
|
|
Hope that helped..
