REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION (RFD)
|
|
comp.os.linux reorganization
|
|
|
|
Summary: An extensive reorganization of the comp.os.linux hierarchy is
|
|
proposed. It includes the creation of five unmoderated
|
|
groups, the renaming of three unmoderated groups, and the
|
|
creation of one moderated group.
|
|
|
|
Proponent: Dave Sill, de5@ornl.gov
|
|
|
|
History: This proposed reorganization was prompted originally by the
|
|
excessive level of traffic in comp.os.linux.help. Following
|
|
a straw poll conducted by the proponent, an RFD was posted
|
|
for breaking comp.os.linux.help into various subgroups and
|
|
creating comp.os.linux.answers for separating the
|
|
documentation and announcements currently posted to
|
|
comp.os.linux.announce. During the discussion period, it
|
|
became evident that it would be preferable to create the
|
|
groups directly under comp.os.linux, rather than splitting
|
|
comp.os.linux.help. The previous RFD reflected that change.
|
|
|
|
This revision of the RFD incorporates several other changes
|
|
resulting from the previous 11 days of discussion.
|
|
|
|
1) Create group: comp.os.linux.advocacy (unmoderated)
|
|
|
|
Charter: For discussion of the benefits of Linux compared to other
|
|
operating systems.
|
|
|
|
2) Create group: comp.os.linux.answers (moderated)
|
|
|
|
Charter: For posting Linux FAQs, How-To's, READMEs and other
|
|
documents that answer questions about Linux. This will
|
|
help keep the traffic down in other c.o.l.* groups and will
|
|
leave comp.os.linux.announce for true announcements.
|
|
C.o.l.answers will be moderated by Matt Welsh
|
|
(mdw@cs.cornell.edu), the moderator of c.o.l.announce.
|
|
|
|
3) Create group: comp.os.linux.development.apps (unmoderated)
|
|
|
|
Charter: For questions and discussion regarding the writing of
|
|
applications for Linux and the porting of applications to
|
|
Linux.
|
|
|
|
4) Create group: comp.os.linux.hardware (unmoderated)
|
|
|
|
Charter: For questions and discussion specific to a particular piece
|
|
of hardware, e.g., "can this system run Linux?", "how do I
|
|
use this disk drive with Linux?", etc.
|
|
|
|
5) Create group: comp.os.linux.networking (unmoderated)
|
|
|
|
Charter: For questions and discussion relating to networking or
|
|
communications including Ethernet boards, serial
|
|
communications, SLIP, etc.
|
|
|
|
6) Create group: comp.os.linux.x (unmoderated)
|
|
|
|
Charter: For questions and discussion relating to X Window System,
|
|
version 11, compatible software including servers, clients,
|
|
libraries, and fonts, running under Linux. XFree86 issues
|
|
not unique to Linux will be directed to
|
|
comp.windows.x.i386unix.
|
|
|
|
7) Rename group: comp.os.linux.development (unmoderated)
|
|
to: comp.os.linux.development.system (unmoderated)
|
|
|
|
Charter: For questions and discussion regarding the development of
|
|
the Linux operating system proper: kernel, device drivers,
|
|
loadable modules.
|
|
|
|
8) Rename group: comp.os.linux.admin (unmoderated)
|
|
to: comp.os.linux.setup (unmoderated)
|
|
|
|
Charter: For questions and discussion relating to Linux installation
|
|
and system administration.
|
|
|
|
Rationale: "setup" is clearer than "admin", and is a more obvious
|
|
place for installation questions.
|
|
|
|
9) Rename group: comp.os.linux.help (unmoderated)
|
|
to: comp.os.linux.misc (unmoderated)
|
|
|
|
Rationale: Comp.os.linux.help is too general. It currently overlaps
|
|
comp.os.linux.admin, and if the proposed groups are
|
|
created, will overlap comp.os.linux.hardware and
|
|
comp.os.linux.networking as well as comp.os.linux.setup.
|
|
|
|
Note: The intent here is actually to remove comp.os.linux.help,
|
|
not to rename it to .misc, which already exists.
|
|
Unfortunately, it's not possible to remove it directly.
|
|

After a discussion period of 21-30 days, if there are not overwhelming
|
|
objections to any of the proposed groups, there will be a Call For
|
|
Votes (CFV) posted to the groups as this RFD. The voting period will
|
|
be at least 21 days. Each proposal that passes, by receiving 100 more
|
|
YES votes than NO votes and twice as many YES votes as NO votes,
|
|
will be implemented.

Absolutely. If I can get 8 256k 30 pin SIMMs, I'm going to set up my
|
|
old 386DX40 motherboard this way (I've got a few spare ethernet cards
|
|
laying around anyway).
|
|
|
|
You might just want to run free DOS/Windows TCP/IP software for that
|
|
function though. If you just boot up and run KA9Q, you should get
|
|
bitchin' performance out of a box like that. KA9Q should have better
|
|
network performance than the Linux kernel does, I would think.

I get it...

|
|
486DX2-66 has 1/2 the performance of a hypothetical real DX-66,
|
|
486DX3-100 would have meant 1/3 the performance of a DX-100,
|

so then DX4-100 must mean...

Hello:
|
|
|
|
I have recently installed Linux on my 25MHz pc with 8MB ram, and
|
|
everything seems fine, except once in a while I get this error:
|
|
|
|
mount cleanudp_creat RPC: portmap failure - RPC: Unable to receive
|
|
|
|
at startup. This prevents me to mount a friends hard drive, from
|
|
which I run X :( This does not happen all the time though. I have not been
|
|
able to figure out what makes this happen. Does anyone have any idea or
|
|
suggestions on why this is happening, and how I can fix the problem?
|
|
|
|
Thank you very much in advance. Please send your replies to

|
|

The primary difference is that I personally feel that we don't need another
|
|
WYSIWYG X based wordprocessor. It exists in basic form in EZ.
|
|
|
|
However what's missing is the functionality along the lines of early
|
|
WordPerfect or Word applications. Text based, formatting hidden from the
|
|
user, prints to lots of printers, basic wordprocessing functionality of
|
|
font size and type, text placement, highlights like bold, italics, underline
|
|
etc., and basic table generation.
|
|
|
|
In fact HWP is making headway towards this goal.
|
|
|
|
I think we can integrate existing editor (JED), menu(dialog), mouse(the
|
|
selection replacement of the Mouseless Commander), formatter (QuikScript),
|
|
and renderer (GhostScript) into a workable system that can meet the basic
|
|
wordprocessing demands of most folks.

Hi guys !
|
|
We have a very heterogeneous network with the Operating Systems :
|
|
Solaris, Sun-Os, Os2, DOS/WINDOWS, MAC-OS, CLIX,OS 400, IRIX, AIX, HP-UX,
|
|
sco-xenix, linux, ...
|
|
Linux can easy be used as a print server for most of the OS's .
|
|
Most of the unix/os2 systems print to the linux-box using lpr (berkley printing
|
|
system), and the dos/windows systems print files whith pcnfs own printing mechanism .
|
|
It would be very nice if I can find an implementation of the system-V print spooling
|
|
for linux, because there are some unix systems which only have a system-V style print spooling implemented!
|
|
Any information is appreciated !
|
|
Thanks in advance !

You will have to grab the latest version of the Linux kernel from a
|
|
suitable FTP site first. Then,
|
|
|
|
cd /usr/src
|
|
umask 022
|
|
rm -rf linux
|
|
tar xvvfz linux-1.1.xx.tar.gz
|
|
cd linux
|
|
make config <- Select suitable options
|
|
make dep
|
|
make clean
|
|
make zlilo
|
|
cat /vmlinuz > /dev/fd0 <- Makes boot disk
|
|
|
|

|
|
|

Actually there are 'ncr1 & ncr2' disks under
|
|
sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/distributions/slackware/slakware
|
|
which I installed as custom and did a setup again & created a boot image.
|
|
|

Works like a charm!

The lead on Unix was pretty great too. I could have bought a Unix for my

I've got the source code, and I can modify it however I like.

Why is a word processor any different? I've never spent $250 for a word

processor. That's why I use the copy that's on my machine at work. I also

hate a lot of the bugs in MS Word, but I can't do a damn thing about them.

I have to live with Word's limitations forever.

I use a Install bootdisk with an updated NCR boot image which works well.
|
|
When I installs Linux, I use custom disks ncr1 & ncr2. When these disks are installed I get
|
|
an error message wich tells me that there are maybe missing som files on the disks, but I chose to continue,
|
|
and everything seems to work well. (I know that the filesizes at the disk is a bit different than what
|
|
displays in ncrdisc1 & ncrdisc2, but i just asume that there's maybe an difference in the way that unix and dos counts bytes..)
|
|
|
|
Anyhow, in the setup I choose to not install scsi & ide files located in a1, but instead i select ncr later on.
|
|
|
|
When setup makes a bootup floppy, it seems to take to short time to make it, and it will not work when i try to boot on it either.
|
|
If I include scsi or ide support from disk a1, then the bootdisk that setup makes will boot, but the system will not be able to connect
|
|
to my scsi drives.
|
|
|
|
My conclusion is that i either do something wrong, or that i am missing som files. Anyone that can give me som help here?
|
|
|
|
|
|
In custom setup, did you tell it 'ncr' or 'ncr1'. You should say 'ncr' as
|
|
it knows there are 2 disks!
|
|
|
|
I did this and had no problems.

Without being too specific... It is impossible to install or run Linux
|
|
on a
|
|
Quadra 610 DOS compatible, even if you install it using a PC to a SCSI
|
|
drive and
|
|
try to run it on the Quadra. Apple did some tricky low level things to
|
|
get the
|
|
Houdini to work, and as a result, anything that wants to talk to the
|
|
controller
|
|
is SOL. OS/2 has the same problem.
|
|
|
|
The problem is not fixed with the new Houdini cards.
|
|
|
|
I am working on a port of Linux that will run on the Houdini; however,
|
|
Apple is
|
|
being very uncooperative about releasing some of the technical
|
|
information I need
|
|
to write the drivers.
|
|
|
|
I'm about halfway there, and I've been working on it for 6 months.
|
|
|

Regards.

Hi,

send the Xconfig file for it. I keep on getting errors about the clock speed
|
|
or screen goes blank.
|

In addition, what is the mouse - /dev/ttyS?. I have a PS2aux style moyse but
|
|
don't know what serial port it is in?

I think this will fail on the most recent version of Uri's dip.
|
|
It eats CONNECT, and errlvl is set to 1 upon connection (errlvl
|
|
is set to different things depending on what is returned: 0-OK,
|
|
1-CONNECT, 2-BUSY, 3-NO CARRIER, etc).
