Netatalk with asun's patches WELL outperforms appleshare 3 on any mac you
care to name. I can get about 700 K/sec on a P200MMX server.
It does some nice things like map appletalk printers to let you print to
them from linux and therefore from Samba clients.

Well, on further testing, I've found that it's login that's killing the
gettys. If I run login in an xterm or ssh, it kills the window or
shell; I'm assuming it's also killing the calling process (mgetty or
mingetty).
Any ideas?

Yes you can load the core file into the "gdb" debugger.
This will be of limited value unless the program was compiled with
debug info and you have the sources.

Hi, all:
I am trying to setup the gtk+ 1.2.1 on my redhat 5.2 system. I met
problem I could not solve so far. Wish you give me some suggestion.
If I use source files, I can compile the glib with no problem. But
it will stop at compiling gtk+ . It said it could find the glib
which is required for setup. I must have not make good connection
for the new library. The trouble is I do not know how to do it, cause
I am a newbie.
If I use rpm files. It even could not upgrade the glib cause
dependencies failure.
Could shed some lights on it?

It's not supposed to. Your UNIX FTP is broken if it's putting CRLFs out
to a file in ASCII mode. You don't *send* the file any differently. You
just tell the remote side to store it differently.

Subject: Replacing HDD and keeping linux installation
Date: Wed, 31 Mar 1999 18:29:02 GMT
I have installed Caldera OpenLinux Lite 1.2 successfully on a box with
the following spec (Pentium 60Mhz, 24MB RAM, 400MB HDD). I have done
serveral recompiles (5 hours each !) to get things like IP
Masquerading to work, and am now satisfied with the results. I would,
however, like to install a larger harddrive, as the current one only
has 30mb free. I don't have another drive bay in the box, so would
like to transfer the whole of the drive across onto the new one, and
then just run it with the single, large drive.
Is this easy to achieve?
Finally, are there maximum sizes for partitions in linux? I was
thinking of a 10 or 12gb drive, since they're really cheap these days.
What would be an efficient way of partitioning it?
Thanks!

I've done this in two different ways:

b) For more than 16 ports, I rather have several terminal servers.
They have several serial ports (I've used ones having up to 32) and handle
incoming connections (direct or modem); these connections can be as dumb
as a serial terminal, or have PPP with PAP/CHAP authentication. Each
terminal server gets assigned an IP address and you put them in your
network.
So far, I've had excellent results.

Subject: Driver bug in Adaptec AIC-78xx driver in Linux 2.2.x? - .config (0/1)
Date: Wed, 31 Mar 1999 14:54:21 GMT
Yesterday I tried to upgrade a system running Linux 2.0.36 to Linux
2.2.4. This system is a Hewlett Packard LH NetServer Pro - dual PPro
200 MHz. The system has got two onboard Adaptec AIC-7880-controllers.
The system has been running different versions of the 2.0-kernel
without problems. With Linux 2.2.4 the SCSI-controllers acted crazy.
The system would act in different ways with the exact same kernel
image (no recompiles or something like that) when the system was
rebooted. 9 out of 10 times the system would suddenly, in the middle
of the booting process start reporting SCSI-errors (something like
'device timeout for scsi id 5 on scsi0'). I don't believe this is a
hardware problem; the errors reported would one time refer to the
first SCSI-controller and another time to the second SCSI-controller
(and i don't have any problems under Linux 2.0 after all). My
.config-file that I used is attached. Has anyone had a kinda like
experience? Anyone have a solution for this problem?
Thanks,
Arjan.

Hello.
I am trying to get the ALSA sound package to work with the stock
RedHat-5.2 linux-2.0.36-1 kernel (I have a Trident 4DWave-DX card).
Accordingly, I installed kernel-2.0.36-1.src.rpm, did `rpm -bp', then
did my own `make config' to disable SOUND_CONFIG, copied the resulting
.config file back to where it came from (i.e. kernel-2.0.36-i386.config),
then did `rpm -bb' and installed the new RPMS; lastly, I rebuilt the ALSA
RPMS and installed them.
Big moment arrives:
$ maplay a_sound.mp2
LBA = 0x1fc0000 (0x1fc0000), addr = 0x1fc0000
LBA = 0x1fc0000 (0x1fc0000), addr = 0x1fc0000
LBA = 0x1fc0000 (0x1fc0000), addr = 0x1fc0000
LBA = 0x1fc0000 (0x1fc0000), addr = 0x1fc0000
LBA = 0x1fc0000 (0x1fc0000), addr = 0x1fc0000
LBA = 0x1fc0000 (0x1fc0000), addr = 0x1fc0000
LBA = 0x1fc0000 (0x1fc0000), addr = 0x1fc0000
LBA = 0x1fc0000 (0x1fc0000), addr = 0x1fc0000
LBA = 0x1fc0000 (0x1fc0000), addr = 0x1fc0000
[et cetera]
Does anyone know what these messages mean?
Is it possible these messages are an artifact of the way I recompiled
and/or reinstalled the kernel?
AFAICT the new kernel is working just fine.
Has anyone successfully modified and recompiled the RedHat 5.2
kernel-2.0.36-1 SRPM for use with ALSA?
Thank you.

Hi,
I run Debian and I guess one could install it from any other Linux,
copying the root filesystem from one of the installation floppies to
some small HD partition, and then trying to mount that root partition
with the existing kernel (saying to the boot prompt something like
root=/dev/hda4 or wherever this tiny root filesystem is). Then when
installation script runs you could fetch the necessary files
from the existing partitions...
See
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/disks-i386/current/install.html
Oh yeah, there is a section "Installing from a Linux Partition"
(but they assume you use a floppy) and floppy-less "Installing from a DOS
partition".
Cheese,
Andrew
PS. I wonder what you'd do when at some point your kernel does not want to
boot...

Lynx?
Anyway, the information on how to setup KDE is not in those HTML files,
but in a plain old README.
What those HTMNL files contain is documentation on how to use and configure
KDE. So, assuming that you are using KDE to read it is not such a big jump.
It's like saying it's bad that you can't read man pages from DOS ;-)

Subject: ARINC 429 and LINUX
Date: Wed, 31 Mar 1999 14:31:26 -0500
I am looking to build a LINUX based system that will
interface with:
(2) 16 channel ARINC 429 boards
(5) 8-port RS422/CSDB boards
(3) Sound Blaster 64 boards
(1) 16 channel A/D D/A boards
(1) Ethernet board
Does anyone know of any ARINC 429 cards that have drivers
supported for LINUX?
Thanks in-advance.
