What would an EOF look like on a floppy? Thus you get back the whole floppy, with junk in the sectors that rawrite did not write there in the first place. Still, the tar/cpio/whatever file is OK! Regards Richard Sharpe

Hi everyone, I am planning on muying a new VGA card. Now I was wondering has everyone with a ET4000 VGA card gotten things to work with X11, or are there cards that I should avoid. I'll probably get a cheap ET4000 card for about $100, trading in my old Trident card for about $50.... Roger -- If the opposite of "pro" is "con", what is the opposite of "progress"?

Though I can boot from my hard disk (HD), I can't successfully mount a partition to /usr and swapon to a different partition. When I boot from diskette, these same partitions work swimmingly for /usr and swapping. Note that I am trying to use extended partitions of a SCSI drive for both /usr and swap. I'm using an Adaptec 1542B, the root partition is on /dev/sda2 (maj=8,min=2), I'm mounting /dev/sda9 (maj=8,min=9) on /usr, and using /dev/sda8 (maj=8,min=8) for swap. I'm working from Linux ...

Hi Linux'ers: So far, I'm quite pleased and excited about what I've seen in Linux. I've been following since ver 0.11 and am anticipating developments in TCP/IP. I have, however had problems getting X running. I've tried versions 0.1, 1.0 and now 1.1 with shared libs from gcc2.11 and gcc2.2.2 and have not been able to get anywhere. Here is part of my setup and a sample of the errors I'm getting. I am initializing 4 virtual terminals in inittab. Any time I try to initialize, the screen goes ...

I got ps to compile just fine last night. As all of the header files are now in /usr/include, ps doesn't need the -I/usr/src/linux/include stuff. When cmdline.c tries to compile, it gets lost on some symlink and generates all those errors you mentioned. You should cp the blk.h file from from /usr/src linux/kernel/blk_drv/ directory to your ps directory and change the #include "../kernel/blk_drv/blk.h" in free.c to #include "blk.h" After doing all this, it should compile with no problem. The proble...

I run Linux on to AMD386DX machines a 33 and a 40. The 386DX40 has been running Linux continuously for over a month with the only reboots being for OS upgrades. It's also often fairly busy as its an amateur radio network node running a modified KA9Q with all the amateur radio stuff enabled. Reminds me: ka9q.4 for linux runs all the radio stuff fine just for reference.

First of all, I want to thank all of you who responded to my posting: "Need Help: TeX". Well, the solution for "can't find the default font" can not be simpler, all I had to do was giving the relevant directories the right access mode. Now my Tex is running fine. But I would like to see the DVI file using MGR. I have two problems: (1) MGR opens windows and exit them fine. But I can not "clear" the windows. I ftp'ed the mgr-man.out from bellcore.com and use the sample termc...

Hello there! Could someone show me how to install man page for Linux 0.971? I'll be very appreciated! Harry

I have a 386 which will fail 100 per cent of the time to C-A-D with shutdown (admutils-1.1) called as 'halt'. It works 100 per cent of time as shutdown. It even works 100 per cent of the time as shutdown -q now Reading the source, would have thought shutdown -q now equivalent to halt --- motherboard and AMI BIOS don't think so. BTW: reboot fails 100 per cent of the time. shutdown is the first routine to completely work with AMI NCS BIOS. C-A-D without executing any of the three, just sy...

I can recommend the Logitech Pilot Mouse. It works fine with X386, all three buttons work. This mouse ist 100% microsoft compatible but has 3 buttons (unlike the microsoft, which has only 2). -- Jochen Fahrner, D-8068 Pfaffenhofen, jochen@busybit.mrz.sub.org

Yes, that is what I expect too, but I didn't expect the usertime to go down at all, certainly not by over 0.5 seconds. We're talking a program here that runs for 25 hard CPU-seconds!

Given the fact that DOS' fdisk is willing to create only one DOS partition outside the extended partition, I must assume you created those partitions with a Linux fdisk. Among the options on that fdisk program should be an option to change the type of a partition. Try changing it to DOS 16 bit FAT >= (or <=, as the case may be) 32 Mb. If DOS still doesn't like that, *then* delete at least the DOS partition and make that partition with DOS' fdisk. Keith -- Disclaimer: None of ...

I was having that sort of problem myself, though I think it might have admitted to being the cpp getting the signal; anyway, something in gcc gets "fatal signal 11", so I gcc -E'd the file, same thing. So I looked and discovered that between the MCC 0.96 base distribution and the then-current MCC gcc disks, I had two different (diff: binariy files cpp and /lib/cpp differ) copies of cpp, so I moved one to cpp~, symlinked, and everything worked fine. I don't know why it started breaking, or what two...

Hello, i think the mount command on the root disk has another bug. The entry in "/etc/mtab"-file contains the string "/dev/xxxx" for the devices mounted, but i think there should only be the basename of the mounted device. Am i wrong? ps. Linux is a great systems.

I have had the same problem. Mine occurs after I use kermit and log on to another machine and have it set the terminal type to vt100. Kermit does this just fine but vt100 only has 24 lines and the local terminal information gets tweaked slightly. The console window will scroll properly using only 24 lines. The problem is when you exit elvis, you get put on the 25'th line and the scrolling goes to "&(*#%$@!". Rebooting "fixes" the problem but I've found another approach. If you load emacs w...
