Well, Keith - you've got me there: I'm obviously not as familiar with mall culture as you are but I've used quite a few word processors over You are right - TeX has a reputation of being difficult to use, but so has 'C'. What the two have in common is that they are popular with the Unix fraternity because they are well designed and appropriate for the task. What I would be interested to know is if MicroScribe was ever It seems to me that Linux appeals to people for many different reasons but...

Where is the problem in rebuilding the kernel? Just edit the Makefile in /usr/src/linux and change the entry to a German keyboard. Then just put in your boot disk and type 'make disk'. After the compilation the new kernel will automatically be copied on your boot disk (or another formatted disk). Then simply copy the resulted file Image to the root dir. Ciao. Andreas

Hmmm, just to add my meaningless .02c to the discussion My wife wrote her final year thesis using a LaTeX/emacs. Her degree was in Interior Design, not exactly a prime candidate for using LaTeX/TeX. She coped with the manual very well, produced a beautiful piece of work, and used inserted postscript output from Autocad for schematics and site plans. I had a good look around, and there was no package which came remotely close to handling the variety of graphics formats needed, as well as the ability ...

Need help in using 14.4k (v.32bis) modem via minicom. When I connect at 14.4k, I can't type anything. Everything I type comes out as garbage (tons of it too).

I absolutely can't get linux to see my hard drive. I have enabled IRQ5 and have a 20 meg unused partition. Any ideas, suggestions or guffaws?

I have a Sigma Legend SVGA card in my machine, and can't seem to get the 1024x768 mode working. 800x600 works (but only at 60 Hz). This card can do 1024x768x60Hz and 800x600x72Hz under DOS, but I can't seem to access any of the dot clocks for these modes. For the 1024x768, there should be a 65MHz dot clock. CLOCK.EXE under DOS reports 40MHz as the fastest clock. The tutorial on X11 dotclocks even uses the Legend as the example for calculating the Xconfig parameters, but using the same entries...

I have booted with a compiled Image of 0.98 and the top right of the screen shows: EGAc I have a Deskpro 386s/20n with a VGA screen and card. Windows can run on it with no added drivers, just the standard one. The person who compiled the Kermal for me had a VGA screen and can use X with no problem. I am setting myself up for X right now, but startx refuses to boot up (X is linked to X386mono) even with Xconfig defined in /usr/X386/etc/X11. Can anyone help me ?

I have been completely unable to get linux .98pl3 (yes, with the two emergency 'patches' applied) to recognize my microsoft busmous. I have one of those very very old busmice that connects to an 8-bit card. I have already tried mknod c 10 3 to no avail. I've already considered shelling out the $10 and buying an el-cheapo serial mouse, but I have but two serial ports, one is used to connect to my modem, the other I want to keep to drive a terminal.

I made the same experience. It compiles just out of the box. And date now works perfectly. Even with timezones!! The same is to say about the new fileutilities (3.4). Just configure and make.

The answer is "yes" to both questions. You can access DOS partitions with Linux, but I don't know if you can do the opposite. If someone has a pro- gram that will read Minix filesystems under DOS, I'd like to be steered in its It supports a large number of SCSI cards, don't know which ones, but I do be- lieve a lot of the major ones, like ST-01, WD7000 FASST, Future Domains, et al are supported and probably more on the way.
