Jim;
I'm a little sketchy here since its been a long time since I recompiled my
kernel, but I believe this is a compile time option. This would allow
more than 256 ttys however not sure if you would have to set up the /dev
directory afterword.

Fetch a copy of Kai Makisara's "mt-st" it includes a program "stinit"
which allows initialization of tape drives. Often distributions ship
"mt" that is bundled with cpio (I think) and it is less full featured
than Kai's, and probably doesn't have stinit.
BTW: Kai is the author of Linux's st.

No, that's incorrect, I've seen versions of Linux specifically for 286, and
even 8086 computers.

Take a look at www.vmware.com
It allows you to actually riun Win95/98/NT wqhile running Linux. A warning however, it
is slow. It appears to
create an entire Intel based virtual machine in Linux. As for Win95 application on

This may be minicom trying to use an IRQ that's already in use. Except for

the modem actually uses.

elm caused auto logout, and attempting to drop out using <control z> just
popped me straight back into elm.

Hi Nick.
The first thing you should do is to install what you've got.
The included kernel will almost certainly work, if you just answer the
questions in the installation procedure.
Once you've got everything working (well, there's really no need for
sound, e.g., if you are going to build a new kernel anyway), then you
can worry about a new kernel.
For info on this, see Kernel-HOWTO,a document included in your Redhat
package, which will install under /usr/doc/HOWTO, if I am not mistaken.
This document can also be found on a multitude of places on the web
(www.linux-howto.com). It will tell you where to get the proper
kernel-file also.
If you get X working before you start on the new kernel, you can use
Xconfigurator (?), a simple, graphical interface to building your new
kernel. Everything can be specified by clicking your way through that
interface. There is also a menubased configurator, and a text-based,
basic one, both of which, I think, can be used without X.
The commands (Make dep, Make zImage etc) are all explained in detail in
the kernel-HOWTO.
Hope this helps. This is the way I did it, and I am no pro.
Regards
Johan Frejvall

I think that NAG made a commercial Fortran 90 compiler for Linux, but I'm
not sure: it was over a year ago that I saw a reference to it.

Subject: how do I set up Linux to accept ftp sessions on a LAN?
Date: Wed, 24 Mar 1999 20:31:23 -0000
Hi
I have 2 PC set up on a LAN. One runs NT and the other runs RH Linux. I've
got some big files on the NT PC that I wish to transfer over to the Linux
PC. I've tried to set up FTP on the Linux system but without success.
Everytime I try and connect from NT, I get a "connection closed by host"
error.
So far I've added the NT client IP and name in the /etc/hosts file and also
the .allow file, but I still get the error. I log in as root or an ordinary
user but I still get the same error. What have I missed out? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I get free legal advice without the ugly spectre of money
getting in the way so I'm not really a good datapoint.
However, I would be otherwise inclined to try and do a
little research on the issue involved if I weren't so
fortunate. Then I would be in a better position to at
least now when I should be suspicious.
Being totally ignorant of what a consultant is up to
is a recipe for disaster.

himself was in a similar situation when he was arguing

...assuming you can trust that attorney.
That's the problem with payware documentation.
While 'reading the manual' may not make you an
expert it may give you some idea what questions
you might want to ask and when to ask them.

Thanks for your answer, yes I could use plip, but having
never delt with network in Linux so far, could you give
me more information ? Do I have to assign ip numbers to
my 2 machines.
I am running slackware if that counts.
Thanks again.

If anyone can suggest a good text (hard-copy or web) for someone
completely new to scripts, but not to programming, please let me know.

FreeBSD doesn't even have RealPlayer 5.0; they only have Real Audio player
3.0 (even though RealPlayer 5.0 for Linux works on FreeBSD; FreeBSD has
Linux emulation).

I'm surprised nobody hacked the RealPlayer file format yet... I'll bet it's
not much different than streaming MPEG 2,3, or something like that, but with
different byte ordering or something.

Subject: remote printing
Date: Wed, 24 Mar 1999 16:13:16 -0500
I am trying to send printouts from a PC running Linux
redhat 5.2 to a remote HP workstation running HP-UX 10.20.
The HP has a printer with the quename of lexxy.
The Linux hostname is: cyclone.
The HP hostname is: haze.
The printer quename is: lexxy.
The problem occurs when the HP workstation receives the
cf and df files from the PC. The file are copied to the
directory /usr/spool/lp/request/lexxy with file names of:
cfA029Aa20530
dfA029Aa20530
An error occurs on the HP and is reported in log file
with the message.
- -------------------------------------------------------
lexxy-29 doug lexxy Mar 23 15:08
/usr/sbin/lpsched: Unable to open and lock "request/lexxy/cfA029cyclone"
- -------------------------------------------------------
The data in cfA029Aa20530 file is:
- -------------------------------------------
Hcyclone
Pdoug
Ja.c
Ccyclone.sigmet.com
Ldoug
B
K1
O -oBSDJa.c -oBSDCcyclone.sigmet.com
FdfA029Aa20530
fdfA029Aa20530
UdfA029Aa20530
Na.c
- -------------------------------------------
It seems the HP is expecting the PC's hostname cyclone
to be the last 6 characters of the cf file,
instead of Aa20530.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
Doug Paris
