I've put new header compression code on athos.rutgers.edu:/pub/linux. slhc.readme will give details. The code is in slhc.tar. It contains Van Jacobson header compression code, diffs to the original 0.99pl10 kernel to add the code, and also to fix various bugs and performance problems in TCP that caused me trouble in using SLIP. There's also a program for printing statistics from SLIP and the header compression code: slipinfo.tar.Z. This is based on code stolen from ps to read from /dev/kmem. It...

If anyone has managed to get term to run correctly under AIX could they please email me a patch for the TERM code. I have gotten term107 to compile fine under AIX, and it even runs. The problem is when I try to run clients from the AIX side, all clients lock up when they try to write to the xterm socket. Clients (trsh, etc) run fine from the Linux side, and they run fine from both ends when I connect to a Sun. (email me at gfarrow@unixg.ubc.ca).

Stephen, have you had a chance to take a look at the man pages that were included in the release? A good place to start would be OIIntro.

When I installed inc-4.4.tar.z I couldn't compile the kernel (0.99pl10) any more. I'd get errors compiling the network code.

I have a computer with a 80mb disk drive. It's an oldie Seagate 4096 and I think it uses the st-506 interface. I want to add an IDE drive. Can these two work together? Can Linux use both, the st-506 and the ide, at the same time? (one as hda and the other as hdb). What I would like to do is to leave DOS/Windows in the old disk and put Linux in the new one. Can LILO handle that? (I mean, boot from one or the other) +---------------------------------+ | Barzilai Spinak | | ........

I just installed linux and X last week. I have an S3 card, so I had to install the S3 server/ect. Everything worked the first time I ran it, and from reading on here, I think I should feel lucky. Anyway, when I bring up the main menu, nothing appears in it untill I drag down over the words, anyone else notice this? MY friend who runs Xfree says his does the same thing. Is this just a bug, or something I can fix on my end? -- Brian Weaver University of Colorado at Boulder...

Agreed. I also disable history in bash. And in csh I set histchars to '^@' --- note that the @, being the substitution char, doesn't affect Internet addresses. It does mean a little more work typing regexps, though... I disagree with changing the history characters in the distribution: people who use them (who I must agree are a bit strange :-) expect !^ so they should be left that way. ++Brandon -- Brandon S.

Oh, well - yeah - there had to be some mistakes... In your /etc/rc or the place where you se your hastname, change the command hostname [blablabla] to hostname -S (that's all) and put your hostname into the file /etc/HOSTNAME. Also - the binary for the program "route" (in /etc) that I got in the original net-base.tar.z is a bit creaky - it just wont do anything if you give it the command /etc/route add 0.0.0.0 gw [someaddr] I fixed this by recompiling it [route] - so if it doesn't work for you - ...

Cc: The linux scheduling algorithm is one of the simplest ones possible: what essentially happens is roughly: - every task gets a fixed number of ticks (100 Hz), defaulting to 15. At each clocktick the timer interrupt decreases the current task counter, and when the counter reaches zero, it sets the 'need_resched' flag. Note that this doesn't actually result in a task switch yet. - at every return to user mode, the low-level routines check the 'need_resched' flag, and c...

And with this in mind, Tex documentation doesn't work very well when on line. It works good on paper though, but that's only if you know how to convert it to paper, haven't figured that one out yet. Request: person who maintains/distributes LILO convert that .tex file into something readable. For answer: other = /dev/hda1 label = msdos table = /dev/hda added to config should work if you boot off an IDE master drive.

Hi, I'm running a Linux site here with two ESDI drives. One Seagate ST-1201E (150MB) and a Siemens Megafile (250MB). I use the Adaptec 2322-B Controller and I didn't have any problems with ESDI at all. It works. It's neat cause you don't have to bother with harddisk parameters and it's really plug-n-play. It is definitely compatible. Kind regards, Chris -- Christian Kuhtz, Gruener Weg 69c...

What's the secret in getting bash to perform like ksh during command-line substitution? I've set bash to use vi editing via 'set -o vi'. For some reason, it's in insert mode, instead of command mode. Also, attempting to retrieve a command twice via the '/' command results in a beep. Whereas in ksh, pressing '/' repeatly attempts to find all occurences of the command, then it will finally beep when no more occurences exist. I'm running SLS 1.01 0.99p9 Linux.

I am having problems with using my modem from Linux. I am trying to use the 'kermit' program to talk to my modem and dial out. When I enter kermit and try to connect to the modem, it gives an 'I/O error'. My modem is on com port 1, /dev/modem is linked to /dev/ttyS0 which has major number 4, and minor number 64. Whenever I try 'cat > /dev/modem' it gives the same error. When my machine boots it says serial driver 3.8 with AUTO_IRQ, and then identifies a ttys2 as a 16450 (I think that's the num...
