If you want to run X applications in window, you can try out xwin. It is located:
|
|
|
|
src.doc.ic.ac.uk
|
|
/computing/systems/ibmpc/windows3/demo/xwindemo.zip
|
|
|
|
It is a fully functionaly demo and it works well!!
|
|
|
|
good luck!

Well, I have about the same setup as what you want. On my 110 Mb
|
|
drive, I have 5 partitions :
|
|
|
|
Boot Manager Main, bootable 1 Mb
|
|
DOS Main 13 Mb
|
|
OS/2 Extended 35 Mb
|
|
Linux Extended 50 Mb
|
|
Linux Swap Extended 10 Mb
|
|
|
|
You'll want more disk space in your Linux partition if you run X,
|
|
say 80 Mb. I for one have a 50 Mb partition, 35 Mb of which are used by
|
|
Linux, man pages, info pages and development system. I don't use X (yet).
|
|
At the moment, the 10 Mb swap partition is oversized, even when I compile
|
|
programs that I wrote; but I would recommend keeping at least 10 Mb swap
|
|
to use X (especially since I have only 4 Mb RAM).
|
|
The OS/2 swap file is on the other hard drive (210 Mb). It runs
|
|
much faster than if it were on the OS/2 partition on the first hard drive.
|
|
|
|
Hope this helps.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ludovic.

Maybe the original poster was asking if the Linux *kernel* was

multi-threaded, which it is not. Maybe they had heard of MACH and wondered

if Linux was based on that.

Wasn't there a package included with the Slackware distribution

do any real text editing on my Linux box, and for the program editing I do

I seem to remember it was on the same series as "idraw".

That might be a good place to start working from.

Hi!
|
|
|
|
I grabbed the source diffs for mush 7.25 from sunsite and then got
|
|
a mush 7.25 source package from ogi.edu (??)
|
|
|
|
Needless to say, the diffs all don't work, and it wont compile.
|
|
|
|
Which source package was the diffs on sunsite meant to be applied to?

Now, my turn after some silent days.......
|
|
|
|
Using /dev/ttyS? for dial-in and /dev/cua? for dial-out works great for me
|
|
too.
|
|
|
|
What is /dev/cua? doing? What is it for?
|
|

I've read that implementing /dev/ttyS? for dial-out and /dev/cua? for
|
|
dial-in was a solution to a (obviously) "problem" since the kernel 1.0.*.

Let's see.. Richard Stallman puts together GCC, it's very popular
|
|
(I'll attest to that...) And, it's free even... By the way, EMACS
|
|
is also, free in case you didn't know... 150 is just a contribution
|
|
you could make or not... And, everyone gets to use GCC and EMACS
|

and everyone's happy! Doesn't seem like such a hellish experience...

Linux automatically blanks the screen. Your monitor evidently picks
|
|
up on this and goes into powersaving mode.
|
|
|
|
`setterm -blank 15' will set your monitor for a 15 minute period
|
|
instead of a 10 minute one.

You're being silly. now. Please read the manual page for `setterm'.
|
|
|
|
However, it might be considered odd that your monitor goes into
|
|
powersaving mode for 16 bit and not 8 bit modes.
|
|
|
|
Please don't post a hysterical warning unless you're sure. Better
|
|
yet, never post a hysterical warning -- it is is true, people can get
|
|
hysterical without too much help.

I like the way you keep referring me to the Paramount legal department,

|
|
there IS an incremental damage associated with EACH copy, but you don't
|
|
even know what it is. Just because Paramount doesn't want the script to
|
|
be further redistributed, doesn't mean that they're losing money off the
|
|
extra distribution, it could just mean they're embarassed. And, I have
|
|
no intention of calling Paramount's legal department, because I'm
|
|
not a lawyer, and I would have no clue as to how to proceed with them.
|
|
So, since, you're the legal expert here, why not call them up yourself
|
|
and post a summary here? Or, maybe you just take it on blind faith that
|
|
since the "Paramount Legal Department" <ta da! Insert theme music!>
|

|

Well, that's fine for your faith, but I don't share that faith, and

I have no intention of talking to a bunch of lawyers, and hearing the
|
|
lawyer-speak.. NO, I am NOT putting down lawyers, but it would be like

me with a group of surgeons, and I'm a programmer. I wouldn't get what
|
|
they're talking about. Again, being the apparent legal expert here,
|
|
why don't you call them up, and post a summary? I promise you, if you
|
|
tell me the incremental damage, I will never redistribute the script
|
|
ever again, and I will delete all copies, I may have.

Thanks for deleting the POINT of this second argument.
|
|
The broadcast that I mentioned was one where someone
|
|
STOLE a copy of a soon to be released movie, took over
|
|
a TV station and aired the movie in it's entirety...
|
|
And, ...
|
|

|
|
|

You believe so? It's incredible all the things you take on blind faith...
|
|
And, I'm not discussing whether or not it is illegal, so much as whether
|
|
it should be or not, and whether IF it should be, how such a law would
|
|
be enforced... Someone just posted the entire script on r.a.s.misc
|

This was fixed on August 18th. If you're going to post a BUG REPORT, you
|
|
might want to check to make sure the current version hasn't fixed it already.

You should know the facts before posting "stupid" flames. The "4" has
|
|
nothing to do with the clock-tripling but with the performace compared
|
|
to a normal 486.
|
|
And you should have said: AMD will "copy" another chip from Intel. :-)

I have doubts.

Yes, since there are tolerances in the production of chips they can actually
|
|
test if the chip runs with 40MHz internally. If they want to sell it as a
|
|
Dx/2 80, they are going to check that it runs with at least 90Mhz or so, which
|
|
means if you overclock an DX2/66 it might run with 80 (it almost always will),
|
|
but it doesn't have to, and your range of tolerance is pretty small.
