Hi, I also want to know the answer. Do I need to install BSDs in order to compile it?

Hello Linuxers,
|
|
I just can't get "talk" working right! Everytime I invoke talk,
|
|
even with a different account on the same machine, it says:
|
|
[Couldn't bind to control socket : Cannot assign requested address (99)]
|
|
|
|
My inetd.conf and my etc/services files look fine [to me.] I would
|
|
appreciate if someone can shed a light on how to go about solving this
|
|
problem. FYI, I am running Linux 1.0.9.

Subject: NFS and the portmapper...
|
|
Date: 4 Sep 1994 22:00:17 GMT
|
|
|
|
|
|
Greetings,
|
|
I've been using Linux on my home machines for some time now, and
|
|
would like to add NFS capability. I get the following message
|
|
whenever I try to mount an NFS volume - be it in fstab or from a prompt:
|
|
|
|
mount clntudp_create: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Unable to receive
|
|
|
|
I can't even mount a volume that exists on the same physical
|
|
machine via NFS. I DO NOT have this problem with my Linux box at
|
|
work, it is happily talking to a slew of OS/2 boxen with no problems.
|
|
I've been using all of the other netty stuff without a hitch (SLIP,
|
|
telnet, ftp, rlogin, et cetera). My basic configuration is:
|
|
|
|
Machine #1:
|
|
Homebrew Pentium
|
|
Mylex MPE-60 PCI/EISA motherboard
|
|
40MB RAM
|
|
1.0 GB Fujitsu hard drive
|
|
Orchis Prodesigner IIs SVGA card
|
|
SMC Ultra Combo ethernet NIC
|
|
STB 4COM I/O board (four NS16550A's) sharing IRQ12
|
|
running Slackware Linux 2.0 with the 1.1.19-ncr kernel
|
|
|
|
Machine #2:
|
|
Homebrew 386-40
|
|
8MB RAM
|
|
125MB and 212MB IDE hard drives - both Maxtor
|
|
same NIC
|
|
some generic SVGA card
|
|
running Slackware Linux 2.0 with the 1.0.9 kernel
|
|
|
|
The machine at work is a _very_ old Compaq 386-20 Desqpro, this
|
|
machine was installed with the same disks as machine #2 above, and the
|
|
configurations are very similar. Yes, I have looked in the man pages,
|
|
and FAQs, and Yes the kernels are compiled to support NFS.
|
|
|
|
I'd really appreciate any help!
|
|
Thanks,
|
|
Stephen

I'm happy to announce new release of well-known DIP...
|
|
It's "dip337g-uri.tgz" on "sunsite.unc.edu", either
|
|
in "pub/Linux/Incoming", or "pub/Linux/system/Network/Serial".
|
|
|
|
Lots of upgrades, lots of patches... Thanks to Paul Cadach,
|
|
Pauline Middelink, Bill Reynolds, who kindly sent their
|
|
patches and mods to me.
|
|
|
|
In short:
|
|
- it supports proxy arp now (much easier routing);
|
|
- allows SLIP users not to be present in /etc/passwd (of
|
|
course you don't HAVE to use this feature - I was begged
|
|
to include it in the package, so I did :-);
|
|
- powerful "config" command (again, it can be security hole
|
|
of considerable size, but it's blocked by default - to use
|
|
it you'd have to recompile "command.c";
|
|
- DIP script language now supports variables.
|
|
|
|
Several other changes, fixes, streamlining, screwing up and such...
|
|
Please test it, especially dial-in part - I wasn't able to ensure
|
|
it handles line drops smoothly [in this release].
|
|
|
|
As always, thanks, bug reports (with fixes :-) and compliments are
|
|
welcome (:-).

I had this same message when all of the correct daemons weren't running on

the intended NFS server. I couldn't tell you which one as they were all

Disregarding the chipsets, since others will be far better informed than

1) 100 extra Mb

Hi,
|
|
|
|
is there a way to use DOS (i.e TASM/MASM) style assembler, or even WatcomC
|
|
inlines (pragmas), together with GCC for LINUX ?
|
|
Either a tool to convert object code formats, or an assembler for LINUX able to
|
|
generate GCC object codes from MASM style assembler would be af help.
|
|
|
|
Something else I'm constantly seeking, is an editor for LINUX (shell or X),
|
|
which comes close to one of the good amiga editors (Cygnus ED). It should be
|
|
able to work on normal, and vertical blocks, have an unlimited undo buffer,
|
|
as well as the ability to record macros fast and efficient. It also should
|
|
allow multiple files in one window, and most importantly it has to be _fast_.
|
|
|
|
Thanks for any tips, or pointers !

Before someone starts to explain how Emacs could fulfill all those needs, I

should add that I already looked at him, but I would prefer an editor rather

than a lisp interpreter. :)

Two arguments apperare in mind: First, a Pentium-60 benchmarks at 61 SpecInt,
|
|
a dx4-100 at 52 -- can't remember floating point exactly, but the difference
|
|
is tendencially even bigger. Second the memory interface of the Pentium is
|
|
much better than the 486 one. It is 64 Bit wide and knows of write back
|
|
cache.
|
|
|
|
There are even more reasons, but this two would be sufficient for me.
|
|
|
|
The only reason to buy a dx4-100 is IMHO to preserve your board with a
|
|
486-socket with 25, 33 or 50 MHz external clock.

Shell scripts are not just used for tcsh, csh, and bash stuff... Frankly,
|
|
there are plenty of interpreted languages out there that benefit greatly
|
|
from a suid capability that I cannot run under linux without creating
|
|
a C wrapper.
|
|
|
|
perl comes to mind.

Brilliant! Now we have the opportunity to pay royalties to X/open instead
|
|
of USL. :)
|
|
|
|
It wouldn't be a bad idea though if someone got hold of the spec and made
|
|
Linux compliant, even if official status can't be obtained.
