I have only one serial port, COM1 IRQ4. Before I recompiled the kernel

Currently, it's not possible to increase the size of the standard filesystems
|
|
(e2fs, xiafs, minix). I've heard of it as something to do, but nobody seems
|
|
to be on it. Nevertheless, you can mount the new filesystem under the old one,
|
|
getting some of the least used parts, and almost fill this new filesystem.
|
|
This way you can save space on your old, assumed bigger, filesystem.
|
|
|
|
Hope this helps,

Try getting some of the distributions by ftp. The directions are:

SLS and MCC:

tsx-11.mit.edu /pub/linux
|
|
sunsite.unc.edu /pub/Linux
|
|
Slackware:

ftp.cdrom.com /pub/linux/slackware
|

Each has it's advantages and inconvenients. SLS is the most complete, MCC is

the most stable, and Slackware the most up to date (or so say people from
|
|
any of this distributions).

Subject: xauth doesn't work properly (SLS .99/p12)
|
|
Date: 1 Oct 1993 13:47:19 GMT
|
|
|
|
I set up SLS version 0.99/p12 without too much problem. After configuring X
|
|
there occured some problems with the xauth-security.
|
|
|
|
1) Using the xdm-Display Manager a MIT-Magic-Cookie is built that works fine.
|
|
The only drawback ist, that there is no random code used (as described in the
|
|
man-pages) but allways ffffffffffffff.... .
|
|
What can I do to use a random hex-code????
|
|
|
|
2) Using xinit the Magic-cookie-mechanism doesn't work at all.
|
|
I create my files with xauth:
|
|
xauth -f .Xauthority
|
|
add maus:0 . 12345555555333333333333355555455
|
|
add maus/unix:0 . 23423423423432423432222222222224
|
|
exit
|
|
|
|
(maus acually is my machine's name)
|
|
|
|
then trying to use this thing with
|
|
xinit -- -auth .Xauthority
|
|
|
|
doesn't work.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What is the problem.
|
|
|
|
I'm running on a network and would also like to use the
|
|
magic-cookie-mechanism to connect to other machines. Therefore I copied the
|
|
Xauthority file to a nfs-mounted directory and everything is fine with the
|
|
xdm (there remains of course this fffffff... problem) but nothing is
|
|
working with xinit.

Hello,

When trying to run Xload the Xload-window pops up but

When trying to run Xmem the Xmem window is displayed for

HOW to install these dynamical national keyboards???

everywhere in the FAQ's I read: Just use these utilities like

loadfont

setfont

.....

Reading the README-file I found out, that several options are available for

each of these programs, baut I didn't manage to start a german keyboard.
|
|
|
|
Could anyone post how to load these keyboards (or include this question in a FAQ)

Please post a detailed description (fool proof) - I've already read posts like

No problem: Just use loadfont .....

me please.

(1)Why when I'm booting,the kernel always asked me to cpres the "Enter"to see

the SVGA mode,or press "Space"to continuce?
|
|
(2)I used the DOS Emulator V0.49.Why I used it to open dos,it always doesn't
|
|
read disk from floppy disk driver?It's messages is"No system disk of driver
|
|
not ready"like that.I can't remember it.
|
|
(3)I tried to use X-Window,but it has some messages like this
|
|
"Too little memory for virtual resolution"
|
|
"A configured device found,but display modes could not be resolved"
|
|
(4)How can I use the Linux to configured a network.Use netware or something els

It's not easy to divide a single partition later to have a second
|
|
partition for whatever. Especially newbies should keep a small
|
|
DOS partition.

This will work only if you have more than 4 MB of RAM. Without
|
|
a swap partition you will run out of memory already during
|
|
installation if you have only 4MB.
|
|
Even with more RAM it is a good idea to have a swap partition.
|
|
Swap files are possible, but slow.
|
|
|
|
So I would recommend to have at least 3 partitions:
|
|
1 DOS
|
|
2 linux
|
|
3 linux-swap

I have it working great here now.... took some effort though. WP is the ONLY

|
|
|
|
I have not yet gotton the "formula view" to work right- there are problems.

I have reported them to WP, and they are working on it. It is due to the

emulation mode switchover it does on the terminal, it causes the "special"

keys like arrow and function keys to not work.

What path does the SLS install program look for if I want to install
|
|
the distribution from a hard drive. When I try to do it from the hard
|
|
drive it looks like it mounts the /mnt to the DOS partition since
|
|
I tell it to use /dev/hda1 and hda1 is the dos partition. I made an
|
|
install directory on the DOS partition with an "a2" directory just
|
|
like it is at the ftp site, but the install program says it can't
|
|
find the files in /mnt/install.
|
|
|
|
I have had problems with floppies so I am trying to find a way to
|
|
install off of the DOS partition. I finally found out about sysinstall.
|
|
I tried sysinstall -doprompt -series x and it prints out on screen:
|
|
|
|
//install/catalog/diskx1: no such file or directory
|
|
.
|
|
.
|
|
.
|
|
.
|
|
.
|
|
and so forth.
|
|
|
|
|
|
How many different ways are there to install this stuff?!?!
|
|
|
|
If anyone could help me, it would be great!!

Do you mean the original 386BSD 0.1 release ?
|
|
In it's original distribution with the 256k files etc01, etc02....
|
|
bin01, bin02, bin03 ... ? Or an already unpacked version which
|
|
would be more interesting for direct file access ?

It would be a good idea to include all Linux sources so that everybody
|
|
is free to compile the stuff new with up to date compiler and libraries.
|
|
|
|
I think all gnu sources and Linux diffs would be a good start ...

What's Linux Dual Boot? Linux can be booted from floppy (ugly) or from
|
|
the HD with any (?) boot loader. I highly recommend Linux own one, lilo
|
|
(LInux LOader), that can boot Linux, but also OS/2, DOS or whatever you
|
|
want with ease. How are you installing Linux? Every installation kit I
|
|
know has his own copy of lilo, and makes a bootable floppy right from
|
|
the begining.

If you want a working OS, try at sunsite.unc.edu at the dir /pub/Linux.
|
|
There you'll find a lot of things, but mainly the dirs called packages
|
|
(or was it distributions?) are what you want.

gzip has a makefile that works with my turbo C compiler (very old one!).

Nevertheless, with the tgz files you'll need a (still unknown) DOS version
|
|
of the unix tar program (.tgz stands for .tar.gz)
