Compiled with gcc 2.3.3 (-O6 -m486)
Linked with DLL Jump 4.3 libraries (-s -N)
To install from Linux binary distribution:
1) Get binary distribution (utile14.taz) from
ftp.cs.unc.edu:/pub/faith/linux/utils or from
tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/binaries or from
sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/utils/administration
2) cd /
3) gtar zpxvf utile14.taz
Alternatively, the SLS sysinstall program can be used.
To uninstall this binary distribution, do the following:
cd /usr/src/utile-1.4
./utile14.Unins
To install from source:
1) Get source from:
ftp.cs.unc.edu:/pub/faith/linux/utils/source/utile-1.4.src.tar.Z
or from tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources
or from sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/utils/administration
2) Untar utile-1.4.src.tar.Z in /usr/src
3) cd utile-1.4
5) make
7) make install
Notes:
0) In general, these programs are ones that "belong" in /etc, although some
people might consider this an arbitrary place to put things. They come
from a variety of sources, as noted below. Please see the packages
utila-1.5.src.tar.Z (utila15.taz) and utilb-1.2.src.tar.Z (utilb12.taz)
for utilities which "belong" in /usr/bin and /bin, respectively.
1) The clock program is from the timesrc.tar.Z package. The original (1.0)
version is by Charles Hedrick, hedrick@cs.rutgers.edu, Apr 1992; and
this version (1.1) was modified by Rob Hooft, hooft@chem.ruu.nl, Nov 1992.
2) Peter Orbaek (poe@daimi.aau.dk) also put together the admutil-1.4.tar.Z
package. The following are from that collection:
ctrlaltdel (by Peter Orbaek)
shutdown (by Peter Orbaek)
3) Peter Orbaek (poe@daimi.aau.dk) also put together the poeigl-1.11.tar.Z
package. The following are from that collection:
agetty (by W.Z. Venema <wietse@wzv.win.tue.nl>)
simpleinit (by Peter Orbaek)
4) Jim Winstead Jr. (jwinstea@fenris.claremont.edu) put together the
system-0.98.tar.Z package. The following are from that collection:
doshell (by Jim Wiegand)
fdformat (by Werner Almesberger (almesber@nessie.cs.id.ethz.ch))
frag (by Werner Almesberger (V1.0),
with modifications by Steffen Zahn (V1.1), and by Rob Hooft (V1.2)
makehole (by H. J. Lu (hj@eecs.uwp.edu))
setfdprm (by Werner Almesberger (almesber@nessie.cs.id.ethz.ch))
sync (by Linus Torvalds (torvalds@cs.helsinki.fi))
update (by Linus Torvalds (torvalds@cs.helsinki.fi))
5) Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package. The following
are from that package (all appear to be by Doug Quale
(quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu), with modifications by H. J. Lu
(hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92, and other modifications by Rick Sladkey
(jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993):
mount
umount
swapon
Although the NFS support is not compiled in for the binary
distribution, the source distribution contains all of the NFS support
and the original Makefile and README notes. I have modified the man
pages.
6) The rdev program is original work by Werner Almesberger
(almesber@nessie.cs.id.ethz.ch), modified by Peter MacDonald.
7) I put together most of the man pages, based on notes from the authors
and examination of the source code. I also wrote kbdrate.
8) Linus Torvalds (torvalds@cs.helsinki.fi) released new versions of
fsck.c, mkfs.c, and mkswap.c in February 1993. This fsck and mkfs
support 14 *and* 30 character minux filesystems!
9) Michael K. Johnson (johnsonm@stolaf.edu) re-released Rick Sladkey's
setserial in January 1993, with changes by Theodore Ts'o (tytso@mit.edu).
10) I applied enhancments and bug fixes to the fdisk (by A. V. Le Blanc
(LeBlanc@mcc.ac.uk)) in Jim Winstead Jr.'s
(jwinstea@fenris.claremont.edu) system-0.98.tar.Z package.
11) Several utilities are from the BSD NET-2 (4.3bsd-reno) distribution:
syslogd (BSD 5.45 3/2/91) [with daemon, ttymsg, and getopt]
Original NET-2 source is currently available at
wuarchive.wustl.edu:/mirrors/4.3-reno. Changes can be found by grep'ing
for "linux" in the source file.
The getopt(3) from the NET-2 distribution is included, and is linked
with BSD NET-2 programs that use getopt(3). The BSD getopt behaves
differently from the standard GNU getopt. Please do *NOT* try to use
the GNU getopt for programs which require BSD getopt, since this may
change the program's behavior when a single '-' is given as an option.
The man page for getopt(3) is included for reference in the source
distribution, but is *NOT* installed in /usr/man/man3.
