I've hooked a TRS-80 Model 4P into here for a quick test. :) It worked fine, both under LS-DOS as well as CP/M. You shouldn't have a problem with the C128. All you need is a modem program. I got the /ASM source for a VT-100 emulator for the 4P that I used, but most any terminal emulator should work fine in conjunction with a null-modem cable. -- Steven M.

NEW USERS: WHERE TO GET THE LINUX FAQ (please read) In response to the numerous postings that continually ask questions covered in the FAQ for this group, I'm going to post this article to reiterate where new readers and users of Linux can find the FAQ. I will post it for a while. It suppliments the Meta-FAQ. :) PLEASE: EVERYONE read the FAQ for this group before posting questions. Many people (myself included) worked hard to produce the FAQ to accurately answer all of your questions. The new v...

According to Michael K. Johnson and Brendan B. Boerner (who have it on authority from Linus himself), the bogus do_no_page warnings can safely be commented out. Apparently they are not harmful and are indicative of an older, buggier CPU (which my ancient Compaq most likely is). Thanks!

If you are using X from the standard linux distribution just reget the lib from the lib tar file. If you are building your own like I do, you will have to remake X. James

I had my paradise working fine with X before I got a new video card. What you might want to do is make sure you aren't setting any clocks in Xconfig, and set the chipset to pvga. Then do a startx >& log.file Look in the file and see what clocks it gave you. Then put these in your clocks line in Xconfig. I remember that X couldn't find my card unless I speceified chipset in the Xconfig. But, that was one version back for X. Make sure you are using James

I'm trying to recompile the kernel (SLS 0.98). I would like to remove the SCSI drivers, but I'm not particularly familiar w/ make or the c language. I've been reading the README file which comes w/ the src on 0.98: It says: - remove the commands for the subdurs dependency in /Kernel/blk_drv/Makefile I guess the stuff I commented out is not the appropriate matter. I get the following msg when compiling: undefined symbol _scsi_dev_init referenced from text segment fs/fs.o At any rate, would s...

I decided to play with C++ and discovered that libg++ is missing. To make things more frustrating, I can't find it either. :) Try this: #include <stream.h> int main(void) { cout << "Hello World\n"; return(0); } call it hello.cc g++ -o hello hello.cc (to compile) Thanks, Dan -- Dan Miner email: dminer@cs.umr.edu Computer Science University of Missouri-Rolla "It all begins wit...

Also try xloadimage v3.01 available from dsrbg2.informatik.tu-muenchen.de:/physik/export.lcs.mit.edu I have used it for some months and find it very versatile (it can set the root window background etc.) Gareth Lee.

Your linker is failing to locate an ANSI library function. #include <math.h> int isnan (double x); This should return 1 if x is not a valid IEEE number and zero otherwise. I suggest you look through the source for the maths library libm.a. I don't have linux running and so cannot help further. Gareth Lee.

I've been getting a lot of spurrious 'bogus do_no_page' messages. I haven't noticed any ill-effects and have been ignoring them, but I was curious as to why they would occur. I'm still a newbie and wasn't able to glean much about do_no_page from the source (though I'd welcome any helpful tutorials. :) For what it's worth, I'm running 0.98p1 on an ancient Compaq 386 with a 300M ESDI drive.

Well, the long threatened :-) Newspak v1.0 has been uploaded to sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/Incoming/newspak Here's the blurb in it... Introduction ============ This is newspak v1.0, which is an accumulation of USENET news-related programs, all ready to compile under linux. It is intended to complement (but not replace in any way) Ed Carp's 'mailpak', which provides uucp and mail functionality for Linux. You'll definitely need mailpak or the same programs from something like the 'SLS' pack...

I uploaded a new version of the cdrom filesystem to tsx-11.mit.edu. You can find it in pub/linux/ALPHA/cdrom. There are only some very minor changes from the previous version: * The door locking commands are now handled by the scsi code, and I removed the code from filesystem to handle this. I think it was 0.98pl2 that added the door locking to the scsi code. * A field in the superblock for the block size is now set. This enables you...

I tried the linux adaption of gwm (a windows manager that promises Motif-like style) with the X11 coming with SLS.98. It cried: cant find /lib/libX11.1.1 I tried links to the jump/no-jump libX11's , but the result were segmentation faults. (xlock and xload(?) coming with SLS.98 show the same behaviour). Where can I get those libraries???? (Please, dont say: take the sources and recompile! I am a beginner and at least gwm seems to be a very hard piece of work. ) My second point: Running xdvi unter...

Hi folks, last weekend I installed the SLS package 0.98 on my computer. It's marvellous. Many thanks to Linus Torvalds, Peter McDonald, Thomas Roell and everybody who contributed one thing or more. Guys, you are great. I've written down my experiences hoping it will help other people, who want install SLS too. I tried not to mention things which are covered by the FAQ. 1. Permissions, ownerships and file locations First of all I have to say, that I don't like doing everything as root. As a...

Ich habe ein Geruecht gehoert, dass es OSF/Motif fuer Linux zu einem Preis von 99 $ erhaeltlich ist. Wie weit ist dieses Gerucht wahr.

^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Do you really think it's necessary to support the messy-DOS-Windows if you can have X? Do you really see anything in OS/2 that Linux can't do? (And probably better, once the version number has stopped changing every other day :)????? I don't. ...Wolfram
