I need to get binaries for term for a sun 4 target machine. I
|
||
have term 1.07 running on Linux and on my campus NeXT and I'm pleased as
|
||
punch about the remote Xwindows capability but the real reason I started
|
||
tweaking with term to begin with was to use it on our sun server. As
|
||
best I can tell it is a sun 4, as the compiler flags seem to indicate when
|
||
I attempt to make term and related files on the Sun. (never laid eyes
|
||
on the real machine). BUT for some reason the makefile pukes all over me
|
||
on the sun, it seems that it has a pre-ansi version of 'cc' - (is that likely??)
|
||
at least it seems unable to make heads or tails of ANSI-style prototypes.
|
||
Am I possibly overlooking a flag there? Anyway, I need one of two things:
|
||
|
||
term binaries built for Sun 4, or,
|
||
a kick in the head with the correct CCFLAGS to make the binaries.
|
||
|
||
Any help earns my eternal gratitude....

Well, I decided to write a "Intelligent Board Driver" For Linux 4 days ago,
|
||
today As of today the board configuration and initilization works , as well
|
||
as input and output. No DCD/DTR ioctl calls are supported yet, but they will
|
||
be. I'm expecting to release source to the drivers as "alpha" withen 2 weeks.
|
||
These are initially going to support "Digboard PC/8i, PC/16i, PC/8e,PC/16e,
|
||
PC/8m, PC/16m" but soon after "Star Gate ACL" will be supported, as well
|
||
as Digiboard COM/xx products. Others are on the list.
|
||
|
||
I was online on IRC for 2 hours with the Driver, and it seemed to hold up
|
||
to the "non-demanding" but "constant" character stream rather well. It's
|
||
coming along nicely, and the package I'm writing is designed to allow
|
||
easy addition of different types of serial boards, and have it all be
|
||
dynamically allocated (from the minor numbers) at run time.

Wanted!!! Want to know how to set Linux xterm to imitate a HP700/92 or 96

terminal. Or want to know what package can do this.
|
||
|
||
I am using Linux SLACKware
|

version .9PL13Alfa Was fighting with SLS and tried the Slackware version. SLS
|

has better install but I like the Slackware version MUCH better when it comes
|
||
to use.
|
||
|
||
I have my linux box on the network and now telnet to my HP300 mini computer
|
||
to do my work. I also goto my VAX as a VT100. Unfortionatly the 3000 wants
|
||
hp terminal emulation. what I want to do is make it look to the 3000 as if I
|
||
am on a hp terminal. I want it to look right on my end to. Right now
|
||
if I use the VT100 it hanges if I use any HP only stuff. Can I set the
|
||
termcap for xterm to use only hp emulation and have xterm emulate a hp term.
|
||
Then in another session use vt100???

I presume you did install Slackware 1.0.3.
|
||
|
||
There exist two files in /conf/net. One of them defines the hostname.
|
||
|
||
In /etc there are several more files containing the hostname darkstar.
|
||
Do a grep -l darkstar /etc/* and you get a list of files containing it.
|
||
Just edit these files and fill in your desired hostname.
|
||
|
||
I did it and i'm happily using my machine `hurricane' for about
|
||
a week now.
|

Hi,

I have succefully now installed the SLS 1.03 release, on my 486DX50 clone,
|

I went through the Linux user's guide in search of informations about how to
|

configur my system but haven't found lot of things about the file .profile
|

I tryed to set the PATH environment variable to run X11, I did like in my

.cshrc file on a sun at work but after sourcing the .profile, I have run
|

printenv and none of the changes I've made was taken, I tryed unset PATH
|

and I had an answer that the systen can't unset PATH. Is there any document
|

that explains how to do this, or any one here that could help me.

|

|

There are a couple of gotchas:
|
||
1) Make sure the termrc on one and only one end has the word remote in it.
|
||
2) Run linecheck and put the recommendations on both ends (most people say
|
||
just the other end, but it does not hurt to be conservative here). If
|
||
linecheck does not tell you to escape CR/LF then look at your inittab,
|
||
gettytab or wherever you set up logins on Linux. Follow the examples in the
|
||
includede termrc.

|

|
||
The real C standard is still K&R, 1st edition. Lots of UNIX boxes,
|
||
including Suns running SunOS 4.1.3 , do not have ANSI support. Many sites
|
||
have installed GCC to get ANSI support. You might set CC=gcc in the
|
||
top-level Makefile.
|
||
|
||
If you are running Linux then RUN don't walk to sunsite.unc.edu and look at
|
||
all the wonderful linux goodies. Follow your nose down to
|
||
Linux/apps/comm/term and you will find Sun4 binaries.

|

|

All X software with the features and complexity of WordPerfect for X Windows
|
||
will take that long to load. Did you know that the current version of
|
||
Corel for X Windows takes a full 22 seconds to load???? Did you know that
|
||
that puts it more than DOUBLE the time of WP?????
|
||
|

And your complaint is only on the X version. This does not hold water at
|

all on the text version......

Then you have the very first release of the software. Those type of things

(although some of those things still remain). This is WordPerfects **FIRST**
|

piece of X Windows software. It is going to take some time to get it right.

|
||
|
||
There are SCORES of advantages to using WordPerfect besides that
|
||
The pricing is very reasonable compared to other packages. They have many
|
||
versions for many platforms. They include **BOTH** a text and X version
|
||
for Unix. They support every printer on the planet. It is a very
|
||
functional and robust wordprocessor. They have very good technical support
|
||
(AND AT NO CHARGE). Etc.... My hat goes off to WordPerfect Corp. for being
|
||
a long-term supporter of Unix. Their text version is EXTREMELY stable
|
||
and yes, they are having a few problems with their FIRST X piece of
|
||
software; of which 3/4 of the problems were corrected with the 4/93 release.

Subject: Read/Write CD drivers for Linux?
|
||
Date: 29 Sep 93 13:59:29 +0100
|
||
|
||
Hi,
|
||
|
||
I'm haven't got a PC yet, but am thinking of doing so, in order to run Linux
|
||
and DOS and maybe NT too.
|
||
|
||
What I'd like to know, is are there any Linux drivers that support read/write
|
||
CDs? Can these CD rom drives read ordinary CDs (I think it sounds a silly
|
||
question, but you never know...). How does a read/write CD drive compare
|
||
in access time/transfer rate to a CD Rom drive?
|
||
|
||
[I'm thinking of using the CD drive to act as a backup store, rather than use
|
||
a tape or Worm drive. Of course I'd also like to use the Cd drive to install
|
||
Linux...]
|
||
|
||
Cheers for any answers.

I have a few *BRAND NEW* 209 Meg Seagate SCSI hard drives. These
|
||
drives went for $245.00 regularly. I will give these 209 Meg drives
|
||
away to anyone who wants one for $145.00 each. Call me after 5:30 PM
|
||
Eastern time if you want one. I will give them out on a first come
|
||
first serve basis and they will go fast.
|
||
|
||
These are Seagate ST-2209N SCSI Hard Drives. They were manufactured
|
||
by SEAGATE TECHNOLOGY and are internal 5 1/4" Half Height Drives. They
|
||
are vastly superior to most of the non-SCSI hard drives out there.
|
||
They will work with *ANY* SCSI controller. They are brand new, still
|
||
in the box, and come with *EVERYTHING* including docs. They are
|
||
100% guaranteed for 30 days. If you get one and you don't like the
|
||
way it matches your wallpaper simply return it for your money back
|
||
*NO QUESTIONS ASKED*!
|
||
|
||
These drives also work perfectly with Linux, BSD, and other Unices for the PC.
|
||
|
||
I can take Visa or MasterCard for these. You can call any time after
|
||
5:30 PM (and up until 2:00 AM) to order one. My home phone number
|
||
is (617) 246-3634. If you think it is too late and they are already
|
||
gone call anyway because your call will put you in line for one if I
|
||
can get any more. If nobody is home you can leave a message on our
|
||
machine and I will call you within hours of your leaving a message.
|
||
|
||
The cost is as follows:
|
||
|
||
209 Meg Seagate Hard Drive $145.00
|
||
S&H $ 10.00
|

Hi Netters ...
|
||
==============
|
||
|
||
A friend of mine doesn't have Internet access and asked me to post this
|
||
message (It's propably a FAQ - but I do not have the FAQ posting.)
|
||
|
||
I have only expirience with SV.x.x UNIX so I could not answer his question.
|
||
|
||
He wants to install the following OS software and doesn't want to boot
|
||
from a floppy:
|
||
|
||
- MSDOG 6.0 without compression
|
||
- IBM OS/2 2.1 with HPFS filesystem
|
||
- LINUX 1.02
|
||
|
||
Can anybody tell me in witch order he must install the OS's and which
|
||
partitions he has to set active so he can boot any of the 3 OS from HDD ???
|
||
|
||
Please E-Mail to my Mail-Plus address, because I do not read this newsgroup.
|
||
I will post a summary to this newsgroup, if there is interest.
|
||
|
||
Thanx in advance ...
