If you dont want to use xwin then you might get away w/ 30meg for
|
|
Linux. I'm not a guru, but I think that you'll need to reserve some
|
|
space on the 1.08g drive for linux file systems. That is if you want
|
|
to store Unix like files. Os2 and dos (I run both of those and Linux)
|
|
will not read linux partitions, although Linux will readdos (I'm not
|
|
sure about HPFS though)
|
|
>(I don't want to make a bootable floppy disk.)
|
|
No problem. I use OS2 Boor Manager to get into Linux. Very simple to
|
|
set up.
|
|
|
|
>(I want to use X-WIN or OpenWin.)
|
|
|
|
Sorry, I missread this. I have 200 meg devoted to Linux. With xwin
|
|
you might want about 120+ meg for just Linux. I think it can be done
|
|
w/ 80 but I'm not sure. You can put the entire Linux file system on
|
|
your 1G hd and just boot it from there. I have Linux as the las
|
|
partition of my second HD. No problems at all.
|
|
|

The answer to this is question has 2 parts:
|
|
a) Can Linux read data off of my Dos or Windows CD-ROMS
|
|
Answer: very probobly. As long as a CD-ROM confroms to the
|
|
ISO 9660 stanard, linux cn moutn and read it.
|
|
b) Will the reader program that comes with my Cd-ROM work?
|
|
Answer: Not directly under Linux,as it is a DOs or Windows
|
|
program. It MAY work under one of the emulators (then
|
|
again, it may not.)

I was just curious - Is Linux capable of utilizing a dual pentium
|
|
system? I've seen some of these for sale, but I've yet to hear
|
|
of a program (except for the upcoming Windows 4.0) that will take
|
|
advantage of them.
|
|
|
|
If Linux does not, then does anyone have any plans in the works
|
|
for adding this capability? I think that, down the road, multi-
|
|
processor systems are going to become mainstream.

We can supply you with the complete Slackware Linux Distribution on 51 3.5"
|
|
diskettes for only $59.95
|
|
|
|
The quantity of diskettes is not as bad as it sounds as they are sorted into
|
|
the distribution's component parts (eg 10 disks for X Windows, 14 for the
|
|
Linux kernel etc...).
|
|
|
|
This is the LSL diskette distribution that has been one of the most popular
|
|
diskette distributions since 0.99.13 due to its consistent quality.
|
|
|
|
This diskette package comes with a printed copy of Matt Welsh's Installation
|
|
and Getting Started Guide.

Have you heard about UNIX? Linux is a true UNIX system with a lot
|
|
of advanced features. There are emulators that run dos and windows
|
|
under Linux, but not the other way around, Dos/Windows do not have the
|
|
"brain" to run Linux.
|
|
|
|
Try it, you will love it.

Apart from the interesting things that have already been mentioned earlier,
|
|
there is another extremely elegant system to create a bootable disk: it's
|
|
Karel Kubat's (karel@icce.rug.nl) SAR (Search and Rescue) system. The
|
|
SAR system creates a bootable Linux disk, holding your actual kernel and
|
|
other programs you might need to restore your system after a minor or major
|
|
system crash.
|
|
|
|
Info about Karel' SAR is at http://www.icce.rug.nl, and the most recent
|
|
SAR-X.YY.tar.gz file is at ftp.icce.rug.nl, pub/unix. It's also at sunsite,
|
|
but that might not be the most recent one.

I just searched the source for how this happens and can't find it. I can

find the bit where it extracts the interpreter from the #! line but nowhere

can I find where it inhibits setuid scripts. I'm stumped.

I've discovered an anoying problem... Maybe it is just my configuration,
|
|
but my configurations is Slackware 2.
|
|
|
|
Anyway, when one su's to root and types mail it should say no mail
|
|
for joe, who you were. But it say's no mail for root, but
|
|
since it checks the MAILPAIH variable it still checks the old file.
|
|
|
|
I wonder where it gets the username... if it was from LOGNAME
|
|
variable (USER, whatever) there would be no problem.

If noone responds I guess I check the sources myself, but I would

I want to telnet my linuxbox at my work from home. (sometimes work needs
|
|
to be done in the evening or weekend).
|
|
But I sometimes need programs which use Xwindows, eg Xspread, Xfig.
|
|
Is there a possibilitie for doing this.
|
|
Need I software on the dos machine (what?)
|
|
Or can X be told to use a remote screen (my pc at home).
|
|
|
|
Any solutions or suggestions??
|
|
|
|
Thanks, Dolf

Hi there,
|
|
|
|
a am thinking of using Linux as a operating system for an application
|
|
which requires absolute data security and integrity, i.e. a power failure
|
|
should not result in loss of datan (this should be easy with a ups).
|
|
Furthermore, a failure of a hard disk shouldn't cause any problems either
|
|
(a little bit harder, maybe RAID subsystems). Finally I even have to consider
|
|
the failure of the computer (difficult, maybe something like Novells Fileserver
|
|
duplexing - two identical file servers). Has anyone information how I can
|
|
achieve a high data integrity with Linux. I would appreciate ANY information,
|
|
including hardware products which are known to work with Linux, such as
|
|
e.g. RAID subsystems.
|
|
In addition to that, I would like to know what database systems are available
|
|
for linux (not necessarily public domain...)
|
|
|
|
thank you for replay,
|
|
please send answer to: unrzf0@rrze.uni-erlangen.de

Could you please tell us poor ignorant souls the location of such a

wonder ;-) ?

I use the X-Inside server with my PCI Mach64 card, and it works very well. I
|
|
only have the 2mb Mach64, but I understand that 1600x1200 is indeed possible
|
|
with the 4mb card.
|
|
|
|
There is some information available on ftp.xinside.com.
