This posting did not come from our office, but we are tracing it.

If you look carefully at headers you will find sites that don't exist,
|

and see that it does not trace back to scheidel@gate.net.
|
||
|
||
We have a good idea of who it is and some admins are helping us trace it
|
||
by comparing the posting on their machine to other postings.
|
||
|
||
If you have the time and ability to help us trace this, we can give you
|
||
info on who is doing it and maybe try to pressure HIS site to drop him.
|
||
|
||
Again, I did not do this post, and we have taken great pains to avoid
|
||
offending anyone, and to date this is my first flame, even if undeserved.
|
||
|

I thank those who looked at headers and saw it was a forgery, and look
|
||
forward to a solution to this.

Also, note that in general, it's probably not wise to call test programs "test",
|
||
or if you do, don't forget to type "./test". Otherwise you'll be running
|

/bin/test, and then you'll *really* be stumped!! ;-)

There is a command known as dmesg. It shows the contents of the
|
||
message buffer for kernel messages. When used right after boot that
|
||
means that it shows all of the boot messages.

I would like to know too, I have a Diamond Speedstar 64 PCI which uses the
|
||
same Currus Logic 5434 chip. I've configured it as a clgd5424 for X and it
|
||
works fine for all the display modes, except when I exit, then when screen
|
||
will just goes into funny characters. I have tried using the clgd543x driver
|
||
but with no luck.

|

|

I have a newbie type question. I have the 1.1.18 kernel version.
|
||
I would like to upgrade to a newer version of linux.
|
||
|
||
I have ftp'd to sunsite.unx.edu in the /pub/Linux directory, and I'm not
|
||
sure where to go from there.
|
||
|
||
When I upgraded from 1.0.8 I had a CD-ROM that had the kernel sources in
|
||
it. I just copied 'em down off the CD and make'd the system as usual.
|
||
|
||
Where are the sources, so I can do the same thing?
|
||
And what version (as of today is a stable one) that I should get?

Hi. Linuxers.
|
||
|
||
I am having difficulty mounting Mitusmi CD.
|
||
I upgraded the kernel from 1.0.9 to 1.1.49 recently, and now
|

I don't seem to be able to mount CD.
|
||
|
||
Whenever I try, mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt
|
||
|
||
I get an error,
|
||
|
||
mount -readfile only.
|
||
|
||
Any ideas.?
|
||
|

I checked ftab, and etc.., but can't figure it out.

Subject: Tape backup info?
|

Date: Mon, 26 Sep 1994 15:25:31 GMT
|
||
|
||
I've finally decided to get a tape backup for my Linux system. The
|
||
problem is I know nothing about tape backups, let alone what might
|
||
work under Linux. I already have 2 floppies, and I seem to recall
|
||
that the tape backup devices take the place of one floppy; then again,
|
||
that was some years ago.
|
||
|
||
So, is there a document somewhere where I might find advice as to
|
||
which brand to purchase (cheepest, yet one that works with Linux), and
|
||
what s/w I need under Linux (I assume just tar, but....).
|
||
|
||
Or, if you have a tape backup working under Linux, and also have two
|
||
floppy drives installed, please e-mail me with specs. I'll post a
|
||
summary.
|
||
|
||
Thanks!

you may just be able to do an:

you need to edit /etc/rc.d/inet2.rc (maybe I misspelled it) but anyhow:

uncomment the rpc.mountd and other relevent entries for these services,

then reboot.

Try cd'ing to the directory where the manpage resides, then

I'm not yet completely satisfied with performance (just started this
|
||
and need some fine tuning), but I'm mounting a directory from my Linux
|
||
box to several PCs using FTP's PC/TCP V2.31, which comes with interdrive.

Hi!
|
||
I've got some probs with my PAS16 and 1542B:
|
||
If I try to play a MOD-File, following msg is displayed:
|
||
-> Sound: DMA timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error?
|
||
|
||
My Configuration:
|
||
|

PAS16: IRQ 10 / DRQ 3 / BASE 0x388
|
||
1542B: IRQ 11 / DMA 5 / BASE 0x330
|
||
|
||
System: 486dx50 / 8MB Ram + 16MB Swap / Linux 1.1.49
|
||
|
||
Hopefully somebody could help.
|
||
|

Thanks in advance.

|
||
|
||
I have installed, compiled, and tried the `mkisofs' and `cdwrite' software
|
||
which makes a CDROM partition image and copies it onto a CD-R media.
|
||
|
||
I am running Linux-1.1.18-UMSDOS kernel with an ADAPTEC 1542CF SCSI card.
|
||
|
||
`mkisofs' works great - as well as the mucho-bucks YM solution. I wrote an
|
||
ISO9660 partition into a blank partition and mounted it without incident.
|
||
|
||
`cdwrite' takes some setup. To date, I have been unable to get it to work
|
||
because I can't build a `GENERIC SCSI SUPPORT' kernel for it which will
|
||
allow the device to show up as a device, though the `Inquiry' feature
|
||
finds the `IMS device ...' string upon kernel installation at boottime.
|
||
|
||
Anybody got any ideas? Can anybody mail me a FAQ? a HOWTO?
|
||
|
||
Thanks enormously!

I have a strange problem with NFS and filesystem checking.
|
||
Since I started to mount my home directory it started.
|
||
|
||
NFS Client: Kernel is 1.1.8, Slackware 2.0, e2fsck 0.5a, sysVinit,
|
||
NFS Server: Kernel is 1.1.45, Slackware 2.0
|
||
|
||
NFS Server, /etc/exports:
|
||
/home clientmachine (rw)
|
||
|
||
NFS Client, /etc/fstab
|
||
host:/home/user /home/user nfs defaults
|
||
|
||
All works fine except
|
||
while accidently having my home directory mounted,
|
||
I pressed CTRL&ALT&DEL to shutdown which does a
|
||
|
||
shutdown -t3 -rf now
|
||
|
||
according to initab.
|
||
Last action is a
|
||
|
||
umount -a
|
||
|
||
in rc.0 which complained and threw
|
||
me in single user mode with a prompt.
|
||
|
||
Anytime I want to shutdown now,
|
||
I login as root,
|
||
|
||
umount -a -t nfs,
|
||
shutdown -t3 -r now,
|
||
|
||
and after killing all processes
|
||
Linux on the client machine complains with:
|
||
|
||
wired, clean, and not updateable buffer in list 0
|
||

I just become root in one of my Xterms, and do
|
||
|
||
# /sbin/shutdown now
|
||
|
||
Never any problems, never any complaints.

I'll reply to this, since the original posting was mine, I guess...

|

|
||
This is, of course, the opposite of the situation we were originally
|
||
talking about, the same address on two different interfaces. This one
|
||
here is useful for running one machine with multiple names as well.
|
||
|
||
I've been asked to condense my postings about using Linux as a router for
|
||
the Networking HOWTO by it's editor; I'll be scribbling today.

After installing Linux 0.99.15g I changed the root password and now

cannot log in as root either with the password I set, or with the default

Obviously, I have to reinstall Linux, but want to avoid this problem. Can
