Hi. I am interested in hearing people advocating
|
|
which is better, IDE or SCSI. One big advantage
|
|
for SCSI would be more disks and CD-ROMS not
|
|
taking up a slot... But it that worth the
|
|
extra cost of a (good?) controller? How about
|
|
speed?
|
|
|
|
Thanks very much.

Hi,
|
|
|
|
while searching a flaw in my smail configuration files, I discovered
|
|
a flaw in _my_ smail setup. I cannot say whether the following is
|
|
true for every implementation and do not know if this has been
|
|
reported before. So be gentle with me.
|
|
|
|
Configuration: smail 3.1.28 which is included in Linux Slackware 2.0.0.
|
|
(tried both binary distribution and locally compiled stuff)
|
|
|
|
/usr/lib/sendmail is a symbolic link to /usr/bin/smail.
|
|
|
|
try
|
|
|
|
/usr/lib/sendmail -d -D/etc/nologin noone@empty.space
|
|
|
|
as a normal user and have fun explaining it to your sysadmin. I was
|
|
awed when I found out...
|
|
|
|
|
|
Martin.

Another possibility is that you do not have enough external (SRAM)
|
|
cache installed: if (even) a 486DX2/66 plows into a non-cached address
|
|
range, the real-time cpu throughput can easily drop by an order of magnitude.
|
|
|
|
(I have had to come down from 20MB to 16MB for just this reason.)

I have been using Sun's PC-NFS for a while. It worked, but performance

Subject: Installing XFree 3.1...
|
|
Date: 6 Oct 1994 01:04:24 GMT
|
|
|
|
|
|
I've been triyng for some time to get XFree 3.1 working with
|
|
my Nr9 GXE/64 video card. The problem is that it doesn't seem to be any clock
|
|
rate that matches the rates of the card on the examples files. In fact
|
|
I think the problem comes from somewere else: XFree seems to be unable
|
|
to detect corectly the clocks of the card. Here's what it gives:
|
|
|
|
(--) S3: card type: 386/486 localbus
|
|
(--) S3: chipset: 864 rev. 0
|
|
(--) S3: chipset driver: mmio_928
|
|
(--) S3: videoram: 1024k
|
|
(--) S3: Detected an ATT 20C498 RAMDAC
|
|
(--) S3: Ramdac type: att20c498
|
|
(--) S3: Ramdac speed: 135
|
|
(--) S3: clocks: 25.21 28.32 28.32 0.00 25.16 28.31 28.38 28.35
|
|
(--) S3: clocks: 25.16 28.32 28.32 28.32 25.17 28.32 28.32 28.49
|
|
|
|
|
|
Usually, the clock rates are much higher than those ones, at
|
|
least with the other (less fast than the GXE640) cards I tried. Btw, it
|
|
detects a ramdac speed of 135 and doesn't give any clock faster
|
|
than 29... Can some guru tell me if it's normal?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Any help will be appreciated.
|
|
|

Thanks.

I heard that AMD's version is more reliable than Intel's, and that many
|
|
people have overclocked it to 80 MHz with no problems. There was even
|
|
a rumor going around that AMD would start to sell them as 486DX2-80's.
|
|
If you see an AMD 486DX2-80 system for sale, I guess the rumor is true.

|

Your modem is not presenting the true sense of the DCD line. You have
|
|
it configured to present it as always being true which is confusing
|
|
the getty process into thinking that someone has called the modem.
|
|
|
|
It is normally set by the AT option &C1. Some older modem have dip
|
|
switches.
|
|
|
|
(Another, less likely option, is that you have a cheap cable which does
|
|
not pass the DCD signal and simply wires it to the DTR.)
|
|
|
|
If you are planning on using the modem for both call in and call out,
|
|
then you should consider switching to a uugetty process for the modem.
|
|
Agetty works very well for dedicated terminals. It lacks the serial
|
|
line interlock that uugetty has. (The uugetty process is in the
|
|
mgetty+sendfax package. Another one is in the getty_ps package.)

As a general rule, yes.
|
|
|
|
The PPP or SLIP user is not consuming processes for the bash plus tin/elm/
|
|
pine/gopher, etc. The PPP user is simply using the computer as a conduct
|
|
to the network system in general.
|
|
|
|
Of course, the SLIP/PPP user may consume more network resources than the
|
|
typical shell account user. Since the remote user may be running tin and
|
|
elm and ftp and gopher and mosaic all at the same time while the typical
|
|
shell user runs them one at a time, the network resources _MAY_ be larger
|
|
for a SLIP/PPP link.
|
|
|
|
This is one of the reasons that most commercial SLIP/PPP providers don't
|
|
run SLIP or PPP on their computer. They use a commercial terminal server
|
|
which is designed to do this operation with multiple connection points.

I`ve just installed linux at home. My pc is 486DX33 with 4M of RAM.
|
|
It looks good but x runs very very slow. Thus, it swaps a lot to
|
|
hard disk, and I fear that its life span is being shortened
|
|
considerably. So I might buy more memory. With my tight budget, I
|
|
could only afford another 4M. Question is, is it worth it to buy the
|
|
4M now, or just wait for probably another year and get 16M?n If I
|
|
buy the 4M now, wuold it improve things a lot, or not much
|
|
improvement?

Well, for me it worked simply after copying the old X libraries to

/usr/X11R6/lib. No need to recompile at all.
|
|
|
|
For some people, having multiple libraries may of course be a problem,
|

or an unorthodox thing to do. But it seems to work. Don't know if it's
|
|
much use to go to XFree86 3.1 if you do it (for me there was: 2.1
|

didn't restore the text mode of my S3-805 card upon exit from X

This really looks like a problem to me. Smail is only able to deliver
|
|
mail if it's suid root. Having group mail and group writing permissions
|
|
in all relevant directories is not enough (just checked). Is it using
|
|
some other priviledged stuff? I'll have a look at the sources tonight;
|
|
in the worst case, I'll disable the '-D' option for my site.

I've never seen anything officially out (though it may be coming soon),
|
|
but one of the 1st things I did when installing smail was patch src/main.c
|
|
to use fopen_as_user instead of fopen when -D is used.

If you are about to buy a new CPU, you might want to check out AMD's
|
|
recently released DX2/80. Goes for about the same price as an Intel DX2/66
|
|
here in Sweden.

Well, I have a fairly bizarre problem - my imake doesn't work, and thus
|
|
neither does my xmkmf, which I need to actually use some new packages.
|
|
|
|
I have checked permissions, I have gotten a new /usr/X11/lib/X11/config
|
|
tree, both from Slackware and from other people, and also gotten a new
|
|
imake binary. My original install was from Slackware 1.1.1, a rather
|
|
old one, and I didn't use X until Xfree86 2.1.1, which is what I installed.
|
|
|
|
Here's fairly typical results (same thing if run as root - therefore
|
|
should not be a permission problem):
|
|
|
|
isengard:~/dlds/not-installed/xdaliclock-2.02> xmkmf
|
|
mv Makefile Makefile.bak
|
|
imake -DUseInstalled -I/usr/X386/lib/X11/config -v
|
|
cpp -I. -Uunix -traditional -DUseInstalled -I/usr/X386/lib/X11/config
|
|
cc: No input files
|
|
imake: Exit code 1. Stop.
|
|
isengard:~/dlds/not-installed/xdaliclock-2.02>
|
|
|
|
I believe that means that cpp is not getting the correct #include
|
|
"imake.tmpl" but I could be wrong.
|
|
|
|
Any assistance appreciated.

NO NO NO

cp doesn't copy symlinks. If you want a completely messed up file tree, go
|
|
for it, otherwise use tar from the source tree:
|
|
|
|
tar cvpf - | (cd /target ; tar xvpf -)
|
|
|
|
Or a close equivalent.
