Hello,
|
||
|

I've just installed Linux for the first time. When I try to
|

boot Linux from my HD (214 Mb allocated for Linux) the
|
||
system halts with the following message printed in CGA-mode:
|
||
|
||
"NO ROM BASIC - SYSTEM HALTED"
|
||
|
||
When I try to boot from the boot-up floppy everything seems
|

to work fine - very weird, indeed.
|
||
|
||
Can anyone help me to get rid of this problem.
|

|

Thanks in advance

No, you did the right thing in removing DOS. For some sick DOS-only applications

Correct - the conio functions are basically just direct-screen

writing functions, and are specific to MS-DOS. Simply replace all

reference to functions defined in conio.h with the appropriate stdin/stdout
|

functions.

You make a good point here, I know te contents of the TeXbook,
|
||
BUT, do you think that a DOS wizzard using WordPerfert knows the
|
||
difference between TeX and TEX?
|
||
They pronounce (and spell!) ``TeX'' in a wrong way by default.

Hmm... It will be tight, but just maybe...
|

|

I am running 99.pl8 (from an MCC Interim release, if I remember correctly)
|

on a notebook with a 40MB hard disk. My main partition is 24MB, with
|
||
22MB used. That includes GCC 2.3.3 (but *without* C++ support),
|
||
Emacs 18.59, and a lot of man pages. It also includes about 3MB of
|
||
my personal stuff.
|
||
|
||
I have a 3MB swap partition, which I have never so far filled up.
|
||
(I don't do a lot of compilation, and of course I don't use X.)
|
||
|
||
The remainder of the disk used to be a DOS partition, but is now
|
||
another EXT2 partition with TeX (7MB) and TinyX (3.5MB). The
|
||
former I use all the time; the latter is just for playing around.

As most people know wordprocessors, that is essentially correct. As I have

Hi and thank you for your time!
|

|

During the installation of SLS or Slackware or MCC-interim I get some

wiered errors on my machine. Exactly the same machine has run SLS 1.01 with

|

The errors:

During installation:
|

Trying to free non-existent swap-page
|
||
While I tryed to compile the Kernel:
|
||
compiler error. (and an e-mail address where to complain about the error)
|
||
And after I installed a running kernel from one of the boot disks (LILO ones)
|
||
and tried to install LILO on my HD lilo refuses to install there (without any
|

comment! but after reboot I saw C:> ...) and the MCC-bootdisk said LI but not LO
|

or anything else...
|

Then I tried the old dd way and...

OK. Now you know how I spend the last week.

XFree86-1.3 does not and XFree86-2.0 will not support TIGA hardware.

Of course you really need to document the processes that were running
|
||
on the two systems at the time.
|
||
|
||
Tests like these can be very misleading without complete information.

|

Hi there,
|
||
After installing the comlete SLS 1.03 release, I wanted to remove some packages
|
||
using the menu provided, the answer was that the file sysinstall doesn't exist
|
||
Where can I find it.
|
||
|
||
Thank you for help

|I know about the SLS distribution and it's 55Meg (?) disk
|

|

|(whatever that is :-]) Linux distribution? I do not need X as of right
|

|
||
|

|Can I realistically use Linux on a 30Meg partition? (I *need* a DOS

You have just described the MCC-interim package; its available on Sunsite.
|
||
I believe by being selective, you can shoe-horn a usable system onto a
|
||
30 Meg partition. MCC-interim (Linux-lite) is a mature package, with
|
||
excellent documentation.
