This is not necessary. The only time you need to run
|
||
/usr/mdec/installboot is when you change the root partition you are
|
||
booting from, or move /boot. The reason SunOS doesn't need this when
|
||
/vmunix is moved but Linux does is that the /boot (the 2ndary loader)
|
||
knows about the file systems. There is also a limit to the size of
|
||
the bootstrap loader on PC style machines which makes the lilo system
|
||
much easier.
|
||
|
||
This has been true of SunOS since at least sos3.5 (though I've never
|
||
installed anything older than 4.1 myself.)

If it annoys you, remove the
|
||
#define KBD_REPORT_ERR
|
||
in drivers/char/keyboard.c.
|
||
It is your keyboard sending a 0xff scancode, traditionally used
|
||
for keyboard errors. (Some keyboards generate them when you press
|
||
several keys simultaneously. The FK9000 sends it when you press
|
||
a calculator key.)

The patch I distributed this Spring (and will put in the next kbd-0.*
|
||
this month) does dynamic allocation of consoles.
|
||
This means that you can create a virtual console of a given size,
|
||
switch to it, and use a svgalib or dosemu utility to inform the videocard
|
||
of the change. No doubt someone will produce a "change text mode"
|

utility that combines these two steps.

Hmm... Try looking at the permissions for /tmp (use 'ls -ld /tmp'). They

should be something like:

drwxrwxrwt 3 root root 1024 Sep 2 20:42 /tmp/

The Linux float and double formats are the same IEEE formats used by Microsoft
|
||
C/C++. If you can get BC++ (which I am not very familiar with) to emit floats
|
||
in a Microsoft compatible format, you are winning.

Just where exactly do people get ideas like that? If you would think about it
|

a bit, you would realize that a 16-bit float, even WITHOUT an exponent,
|
||
wouldn't represent a full 5 decimal digits of precision; in other words,
|
||
roughly half (or less) than your el cheapo scientific calculator! Surely, $200
|
||
math coprocessors can do better than that!
|
||
|
||
Linux floats as well as Microsoft floats under DOS are 32-bit (23 bit
|
||
mantissa, 8 bit exponent, 1 sign bit); doubles are 64-bit (52 bit mantissa, 11
|
||
bit exponent, 1 sign bit).

|

I have been successfully accessing multiple NetWare servers by running
|

DOSEMU un Linux. Since NetWare is a DOS based OS inorder to function as
|
||
a true NetWare client you need to run DOS (or OS/2 or a MAC). NetWare's
|
||
support of non-DOS clients is ok but not great.
|
||
|
||
You can mount NetWare volumes via NFS and access the server console via
|
||
XConsole -- as you've already seen -- but to access the server as a true
|
||
client you would need some kind of DOS. This also depends on what you
|
||
want to do. If you just need file access NFS should suit your needs. If
|
||
you need to do NetWare admin (users, maint., etc.) then you would need a
|
||
DOS client.

I think you are not right saying Linux is technically obsolete before
|
||
Solaris or another commercial U*IXes. My personal experience says that
|
||
Linux is both technically superior now (compare it with SunSoft ISC,
|
||
Coherent, SCO) and *much quicker* in development. Linux has a tremendous
|
||
developers base, and i think, is one of the most popular U*ices.
|
||
When you speak about microkernals, you make a popular bug - microkernal
|
||
doesn't mean it is easier to port. As a devloper of several microkernel
|
||
embedded systems, i should say it is not so easy to port the kernel, which
|
||
is tightly tied with processor, MMU, bus logic and so on to another platform.
|
||
|
||
I don't want to start the flame war, but i'm sure Linux is *the best* U*IX
|
||
now for PCs, and, i trust, for another platforms in near future.

I was bitten by this problem also. It's a very easy way to clean off a 1Gb disk.

I'm still not certain what the problem was, however I have a hunch that

the problem was in the shared memory address of the card. My card is a clone
|

and although I can set the IRQ and Base I/O address with jumpers, I couldn't

set the shared memory address. The cards I work with at work are genuine

SMC cards and I simply hard jumpered their settings. Most WD8013 cards

are software configurable. Try using wdsetup and see how you go. Personally

I've switched my card over to NE2000 mode just to be sure.

The C error that you are getting claiming that an identifier

(sb_dsp_operations) is being used without a definition (C doesn't

care for that kinda thing), which makes me thing that perhaps you
|

|

|

First, where did you get the kernel source tree? Did you download a complete

source tree, or a set of patches? If you downloaded a set of patches,
|

did you apply them all in order, and were there any errors?

My recommendation would be to ftp to sunsite.unc.edu, get 1.1.45, and patch

46-whatever, backup and remove your old one, then install and try the new one.

I don't think so...
|

|

- LILO does not require the boot image to be on contiguous sectors
|
||
|
||
- LILO can boot many different kernels and also other operating systems
|

|

I think it is a good program, and running its installer after building

the kernel is not a problem at all. It is even done in the same

Would LILO prevent a self-defragmenting filesystem?

Try 1.1.48 - 'pseudo dma' transfers (see the NCR5380 data book /

Linux driver sources for details) were being done for neither tapes

Can I get an update on the PowerPC version of Linux? I'm looking at
|
||
maybe getting a PM6100 and I don't want to have to run just MacOS on
|
||
it ;-)

I like to hack code on one system, copy the resulting kernel image to
|
||
another system with a simple 'rcp' command, and test the new kernel on
|
||
this other system. Both systems are running Minix-386vm, with a
|
||
bootstrap system written by myself that understands Minix filesystems.
|
||
|
||
Are YOU not FLEXIBLE enough to add a 'rsh' to run LILO when installing
|
||
a new kernel on a remote machine (or is 'rsh' not supported ...) ?
|
||
|
||
Just nyfiken!

Have you tried using double in DOS? You could be having the same int/long
|
||
problem you were having with integers. Linux is 32bit and I suspect (!)
|
||
that it's floats are too. DOS floats are 16bit
