Dear Netter:

I have another question about minicom configuration. It works fine, but

it gives me dial-tone, instead of tocuh-tone sounds while dialing. Do you know

Actually, just calling bootpc like

bootpc --bootfile="" --dev eth0

It *is* legal. DOOM! is shareware -- you get the first of three
|
|
episodes for free; if you register it you get episodes 2 and 3. When
|
|
you register it you get the disks for the DOS version, but it is OK,
|
|
because all you need to do is to replace the .WAD file in the
|
|
shareware version with the full version and you have the whole game.
|
|
|
|
Apparenly you can also buy DOOM II and use it with the Linux version
|
|
in the same way.

If you use TIA (The Internet Adaptor) on the remote end, you should
|
|
be able to run Linux DOOM on a shell account without SLIP/PPP!
|
|
|
|
TIA is a program that you run on the remote shell account to emulate a
|
|
SLIP / PPP server. You simply run your Linux/unix/DOS/Windows SLIP/PPP
|
|
software on your local end.
|
|
|
|
It supports TCP and UDP (not ICMP). I hear that Linux DOOM uses only
|
|
TCP and/or UDP so it should work with TIA. You can have a free
|
|
trial of TIA. Get documents from FTP or WWW at marketplace.com ....

An extended partition is a partition that contains other partitions (to get
|
|
around an early DOS limitation of 4 partitions in a backward compatible
|
|
way). Tagging it as something else doesn't make any sense. Making you
|
|
delete it might help get your attention if it isn't empty, too.

If you read the README.linux file carefully, you will note that Dave

is already aware of the problem. His description of the magnification

option(s) (-1, -2, -3, etc. on the command line) concludes with

The only way to do this is to bug ID directly. The 1-800-IDGAMES number
|
|
is a contract outfit. There response will likely be, "Linux, what the
|
|
hell does DOOM have to do with Charlie Brown."
|
|
|
|
So, I would suggest someone maintain a list of all the people who use
|
|
LINUX and have registered. Individual mailings will get ignored after
|
|
awhile.
|
|
|
|
Another DOOM note: infant2.sphs.indiana.edu is the "Official 3rd-party
|
|
add-on site."
|
|
|
|
There is a Linux version of the freeware "DEU: Doom Editor Utilities".
|
|
/pub/doom/deu/linx* . This program allows you to create new levels from
|
|
scratch. Someone needs to do a Linux port of IDBSP...
|
|
|
|
In /pub/doom/wads tree structure are hundreds (120 megs worth) of user
|
|
created doom levels. So, if you register DOOM you will have access to
|
|
basically unlimited replayability.

Not to put too much of a damper on this, but the kernel of the Fall 94
|
|
from yygdrasil has given some of us some problems. My system runs summer
|
|
94 just fine (which I am still using, with the programs from Fall
|
|
release) but Fall94 blows up big-time when it tries to initialize the VFS
|
|
with a null-pointer refernce and a subsequent register dump.
|
|
|
|
I called yygdrasil, and they said that they had just gotten another call
|
|
on thsi problem and were looking into it.
|
|
|
|
On the bright side, the Fall94 has a much nicer, more streamlined and
|
|
friendly install as well as command line-options for everything you used
|
|
to have to do from x (adding users, installing addition packages,etc.)
|
|
|
|
Anyway, just be warned about the kernel issue. I'm sure yygdrasil will
|
|
have it resolved fairly soon...

I've already put in a request to Robert Nation for a DoomLock

function, that acts like the current LOck but also ignores the defined
|
|
keys.
|
|
For now, you can edit your .fvwmrc file and change DeskTopSize
|
|
to 1x1 while you play doom. I'd like to know what's up with the alt key
|
|
though. On my system, it's acting like a toggle.

This doesn't sound particularly legal.

Does anybody know how many times Doom for Linux was ftp'd today? I think
|
|
it could make a fairly accurate Linux counter. Does sunsite have a big hole
|
|
burned into the disk where doom is located?
|
|
|
|
Time for bed...Finals suck.

This only works if the user is using bash.

Yes, I have notices that! But there is only an empty box with the filename

But I want to edit this file.

Edit your .fvwmrc (or fvwmrc.system) file and comment out the "Key" entries
|
|
near the end of the file, these trap the sequences and don't send them on
|
|
to your app.
|
|
|
|
Please don't run Olwm! fvwm rules.
