I was happy to read most of the recent flame bait thread about why Linux
|
|
isn't good enough for commercial use...
|
|
|
|
Although I use Linux as a hobby I must toss out my two cents worth :)
|
|
|
|
In a mostly computer illiterate(sp?) world there is something to be said for
|
|
plug and play. Sure, it's fun to play around getting _your_ system to work,
|
|
but my advisor has grant proposals and budgets to write... he doesn't have
|
|
the time to twiddle around. (I guess he could make me do it :)... which
|
|
brings me to a problem of mine.
|
|
|
|
I still use DOS/Windoze on a daily basis, just because I can't get Linux to
|
|
print on my HP Laserjet III.
|
|
|
|
Is there anyone willing to teach me something about this? I have to say that
|
|
many casual users would be completely turned off by Linux if they couldn't get
|
|
their favorite WP (whatever they may use) to print after the first 2 minutes
|
|
of fiddeling!
|
|
|
|
Before Linux becomes too popular with the casual user it will have to have a
|
|
_little_ more plug and play built in.
|
|
|
|
If anyone can help me get my printer to printer I would be _very_ greatful!
|
|
My thesis ultimately rides on this :) (and yes, I'm choosing to use LaTeX
|
|
over WordPerfect or Microsoft Word)

I had a DOS partition within a DOS partition created bye DOS fdisk and I decided
|
|
to change it to linux native and did that with Linux fdisk. But now I can mount
|
|
it as either ext2 or msdos ! I did mke2fs before that. I had left the old
|
|
fstab entry and upon boot it was mounted as msdos. That does not seem correct tome and may leed to fs corruption.

|

Date: 26 Sep 1994 12:29:06 GMT
|
|
|
|
|
|
I am running Linux 1.1.42, ftape 1.13b, and the 1.1 modules.
|
|
After compiling ftape 1.13b and the latest modules without error,
|
|
I get an excessive amount of "Single Overrun" errors and the tape
|
|
starts and stops almost continuously. Doing an "mt erase" produces
|
|
as much as 9 overrun errors and a tar -cv will log excessive overrun
|
|
errors and eventually aborts. Some where between
|
|
Linux 1.1.31/Ftape 1.12 and Linux 1.1.42/Ftape 1.13b this overrun
|
|
problem appeared. In the previous version of the kernel and ftape the
|
|
tape would stream almost continuously and would not get any overrun
|
|
errors. One of the reasons that I went to the ftape 1.13b version was
|
|
to take advantage of the high speed controller enhancements which
|
|
were added to this version. I really don't want to take a giant step
|
|
backwards, because I need the fixes in the later versions. If anyone
|
|
has had the same problem or has any ideas on how to solve the overrun
|
|
errors, please mail directly to "ingle@erim.org" or post to this
|
|
channel.

Actually, the evidence supports the hypothesis that Linus is in Australia

|
|
|
|
BE CAREFUL. Bill hasn't mentioned what permissions to give these files,
|
|
and if you aren't careful you'll be opening up a possible security hole.
|
|
|
|
1. Make sure that the password field for ftp is '*', not empty.
|
|
Otherwise, people will be able to telnet in as ftp with no password.
|
|
2. The copy of /etc/passwd that you put in the ftp directory should
|
|
have '*' as the password field of every entry.
|
|
3. All files outside of ~ftp/pub should be mode 444 except ld.so and ls
|
|
which are 555. All should be owned by root.
|
|
4. The ~ftp/etc, ~ftp/bin, and ~ftp/lib dirs should be mode 111 and owned
|
|
by root.
|
|
5. The ~ftp directory should be mode 555 and owned by root.
|
|
6. What you do inside pub depends on your needs. If a directory is
|
|
globally writable (like an Incoming directory), it is a good idea to
|
|
set the sticky bit (eg mode 1777) so that users can't remove other
|
|
user's files. Also, you may not want the Incoming directory to be
|
|
readable depending on your needs.
|
|
7. Make sure /etc/ftpusers (the main /etc, not the one in ~ftp) contains
|
|
root, daemon, and all other accounts in the password file that don't
|
|
contain accounts of real people. It should not contain "ftp".
|
|
|
|
This only covers the traditional ftpd, not wu-ftpd. I imagine that all
|
|
the above applies for wu-ftpd and more.

I am not running it on Linux (I am on SCO, however), so I can't comment too

much on running it under Linux. It runs great under SCO; there are some
|

bugs, but that's life...

The MS-"Windows" version is 1) not portable, 2) not easily revised,
|
|
3) platform specific, 4) local display only, 5) supported by more
|
|
debuggers and optimizers.
|

|
|
|

The text version flies at an incredible speed. The Xwindows version will
|
|
be similar to the Sun version. WordPerfect 5.1 was WordPerfect's first
|
|
attempt at X software, it is rather large and slow.... but usable. One
|
|
must consider that WordPerfect 5.1 does a whole lot of stuff. I know
|
|
that the new Unix WP 6.0 is larger still, but hopefully faster and
|
|
less buggy (due to their experience with X now).

Did you remember to link in the math lib? You would do that by adding

`-lm' to gcc's args, as in

Including it only tells the compiler what type of arguments it
|
|
expects, and what it returns. To get the actual function, you
|
|
need to tell the linker to also search the math library
|
|
(something it does NOT do by default).
|
|
|
|
Add the -lm option to the end of the gcc command line. This will
|
|
tell gcc to tell the linker to also search lib.m, which is the
|
|
math library.

Pick up a copy of NIS-HOWTO at sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO
|
|
It has all the sites for both client and server software.
|
|
The NIS+ server works great!

An Indy runs Irix5.2 -this is one big OS- and later and realistically
|
|
needs _at least_ 32 megs of ram to avoid swapping itself to death with any
|
|
big app you run. Likely the swap space isn't configured to size for your
|
|
app either.
|
|
A C-compiler comes with the development option, you pay extra. You'd better
|
|
get your man pages preformatted too.
