There is a big difference between vmlinux (with x) and vmlinuz (with z)
ther former is not compressed while the latter is. When you make zlilo
the right kernel will be copied to /vmlinuz.

I'll bet you have an SB AWE 32 or 64 card :-)
read the documentation that comes with the kernel for AWE32 cards:
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/AWE32
I did have a problem with the module that has to do with MIDI (wouldn't

Probably, I don't know if it works, though. I use diald available from
the redhat contrib archive.
If you want to use the demand option in pppd you need to replace some
components in the kernel source tree and recompile the kernel. The
standard version doesn't support demand dial via the demand option
of pppd.

Announcing the first public release of a new shell for Unix, written
completely from scratch.
esh is a Unix shell with a syntax similar to Lisp/Scheme.
It is tiny in size, and features a real programming language
at the core. It allows remarkable flexibility, at the expense
of syntactic doodads and shortcuts.
It is released under the GPL and requires the GNU readline library.

The problem wrt not booting without a video card Linux can't do anything
about. It's a BIOS problem. In a few computers I have access to, the
BIOS will just beep at me if the video card isn't plugged in.

On my PC server, the BIOS has been configured to contiue to boot, even if
it does not see a keyboard or a floppy drive. A lot of newer bioses can
be configured to boot w/o a keyboard.
The motherboard is a Tyan motherboard, and I forget the exact BIOS it
uses.

Virtual Terminal support is optional -- not sure exactly when it
was introduced, but it certainly is there in 2.2.0. It will save
you a bit of memory if you're building PC based embedded devices
and not much else really. Also, the system console can be assigned
to a serial device if you want to.
It's not a limitation of linux; it's a limitation of the PC
architecture/implementations out there.
Obvously, if it was a limitation of linux you could always hack the
code and do what you need... check out these embedded system projects:
http://www.kinetic.org
http://www.empeg.com
How would you go about doing something like that with an OS that isn't
O/S?
you'd have to rely on the vendor, or buy sources (big bucks, NDAs etc).

Well, as I said before, it's not really a limitation of Linux. Ever
tried booting a PC without a graphics card? If not, give it a try.
You'll get some nasty beeps from the BIOS, and *some* might boot
it after a few minutes.
It's that keyboard not present, press F1 key to continue, only
there's no such option in any BIOS that I know off. Please
correct me if I'm wrong here.
Presumably, you could hack the BIOS and get it to boot the PC
without a g/c, but frankly I can't get arsed since I can stick
a vintage CGA from the attic in a spare ISA slot :)

Rick,
To determine if ftp is installed enter the command:
rpm -q ftp
RedHat 5.2 installs ftp-0.10-3 as the default version of ftp, but does not
install ftp by default.
If ftp is not installed and you wish to install wu-ftp then install it
from the RH5.2 cd. Assuming the cd is mounted under /cdrom enter:
cd /cdrom/redhat/i386/RedHat/RPMS
rpm -ivh wu-ftpd-2.4.2b18-2.i386.rpm
I once had a similar problem on RH 5.0 because ftp was not installed.
I hope this helps. Good luck!

Subject: (Symbolic) Links
Date: Mon, 25 Jan 1999 23:22:25 GMT
Hello,
I have just installed Linux on my machine after a 12 year absence from
the wonderful Unix world.
One (amongst many) things that is really puzzling me is the true naure
of a symbolic link.
My dzecade-old teaching tells me that anything reported by ls is a
link (normally to an i-node), and that all links are created equal --
i.e. a file does not have a name (as it does in MS-land) it is only a
link that has a name and that name could be (and in the case of cp,
mv, and rm _must_ be) different while referring to the same i-node.
Now, these symbolic link thingys seem to be much more like the .LNK
files I use day-to-day on my WinNT system, in that there is a "real"
file somewhere and the symlink is merely a pointer to it. This is
intellectually OK on WinNT. But on Linux, I just cannot understand why
one direcotry entry (link, in my terms) is master, and all others are
merely symbolic links (or aliases) to it.
Has Linux moved from the traditional Unix file system of I-nodes and
links to some other system where a file is clearly tied to a
directory, or am I just missing something? Just what is the difference
between a symlink and a "vanilla" link that old-timers like me know
about?
All the best

Brad,
Look at /usr/src/linux/Documentation/opps-tracing.txt. I
think
the addresses from the dump will apply to your build only unless
you have some generic thing. This also seems like only part of
the information that could be dumped from an oops. It should
show
the Process:, Stack, Call Trace, registers and etc. May be you
can increase the debug level and do it again. See man page for
klogd man page options -c -d etc for getting full debug
information.
With more info you can probably at lest isolate the process and
function. If the oops gives a full dump to the logs then you
will have the stack and register and can probably nail the line.

Does anyone know if there is already an rpm for the 2.2.0 kernel source,
headers, etc.!?

As it happens, it turned out that WordPerfect responds to the standard
X compose mechanism, i.e. define a multikey (in my case, the Win key
on my Natural keyboard), hit that and follow with the diacritical
symbol + the letter. So, Win + 'e gives �.
Because the manual wrong-footed me, I went looking for an application
specific mechanism that doesn't appear to be there.

Linux 2.2.0 on an i686 |

Subject: NCR SCSI Driverproblem
Date: 27 Jan 1999 12:51:41 GMT
Hello,
i have testet many hours to get results. My 486er PC have the NCR53C94
Controller onboard. In the old Kernels i found the NCR53C80 Driver that find
the Chip an hangs the Kernel up "SCSI-Bus busy".
So i take a look into the SCSI-Howto an be happy, the NCR53C9x Driver supports
my Chip? Seems not, since 2.1.132 the Chip ist only supported by Sparcs and
Macs and Amiga-Controllers. The Base, already working on ISA-Cards or Onboard
ist toward 2.2.0-Final not supportet.
Any Ideas and Comments? Will Linux fail at this Point?
Do i have Alternatives? Get a driver that drive my Harddisks over the
System-Bios?
This type of Computer ICL D4/66dxgi was sold very often, many Peoples have the
same Problem. Is there someone out, to correct the driver?
ByeBye
