I've installed it on a few systems, without _needing_ to make any kernel mods.
I'd like to get it booting Linux from the flash disk as well, but so far I
haven't had time to look into that in any detail.
If you don't have a development system for your module, you'll probably want
to install onto a hard disk that's fitted into another machine; makes it
easier for using things like floppies, CD-ROMs, PCMCIA cards, etc. in the
install.
What do you have to pay attention to? Well the only trap I fell into was that
I had to disable the onboard flash disk completely before LILO would boot
properly off the hard drive, otherwise it stopped at LI, which usually
indicates that the drive geometry at boot time is not the same translation as
it was when 'lilo' was originally run. Not sure why this should be so.

Unless you have an old monitor with a set of fixed refresh rates,
the mistake seems pretty obvious to me: you should specify frequency
ranges (as given in your monitor's tech docs). Within those ranges
the setup program can always find a set of parameters (a.k.a.
modeline) that will produce a picture on your screen.
The way you've done it here, it is entirely possible that the
combination of resolution and frequencies produced an 'impossible'
signal parameters and X server bailed out immediately.
This being (IMO) the most likely cause, other problems are
possible. You will not find out unless you examine the error log.
To save the error log to a file do the following:
startx > startx.error.log 2>&1 &
If the screen switched itself off, go back to the tty console you
started X from (press Ctrl-Alt-F1 (or F2, ... F6). Then do
more startx.error.log
Make sure you run this in 'bash' shell (I don't recall if the
redirections will work fine in, say, tcsh).
I'd say it's a good idea to use 'XF86Setup' for this (as someone
already pointed out). First of all, it already uses the VGA16 X
server and works in graphics, so you know that at least one
graphics mode works!

Subject: Virtual mail domain handling
Date: Wed, 31 Mar 1999 18:26:51 GMT
[Followup-to set for comp.mail.sendmail]
I'm assisting in maintaining a Red Hat 5.0 box, whose maintainer is not a
computer professional at all. I'm not Unix pro.
I have a virtual domain on his machine, and we've got Apache doing the
web-serving for it very nicely. DNS and MX records are being served
appropriately. But I'm confused on the approach to take for incoming email,
after looking through the sendmail and linux FAQs and past threads in
DejaNews. Much of the advice appears to concern more recent versions of
sendmail, especially http://www.sendmail.org/virtual-hosting.html.
I'd like to be able to set up several dozen virtual addresses of the form
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Most of these would forward to single addresses,
externally to this machine. A few of them would forward to lists of about
thirty such addresses, used for a monthly corporate status newsletter. Port
25 answers with "Sendmail 8.8.7/8.8.5". "whereis sendmail" reveals only
/etc/sendmail.cf, /etc/sendmail.cw, and the /usr/sbin/sendmail executable
itself. It's probably not feasible to update Sendmail unless it can be
guaranteed to be pain-free.
First, I need to get the system to accept mail for the virtual domain (e.g.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]). Currently, it bounces with "config error: mail
loops back to me (MX problem?)". Need root do anything more than add the
virtual domains by hand to the /etc/sendmail.cw file for these to be
accepted?
Next, it appears that I should use virtusertable to direct all domain mail
to my account. But I'm about as clear as mud on the steps required for my
Sendmail version. Currently, it's commented out as "#Kvirtuser dbm
/etc/virtusertable". Can root just uncomment that and run "makemap dbm
/etc/virtusertable < sourcefile"?
Or would the whole thing better be handled with /etc/aliases?
Without having root permissions on a permanent basis to do the (probably
frequent) changes, I presume that I'd want to adopt the approach described
in http://www.sendmail.org/faq/section3.html#3.29 to send everything to the
existing "domuser" account, passing the envelope_to as argument $1. But
with the version of sendmail we have, how do I do the equivalent of
FEATURE(local_procmail)?

I'm a bit confused here. I have my /boot partition entirely below cyl 1024
but my root ('/') partition is entirely above cyl 1024. Lilo is in the
MBR,
and the kernel is in /boot. Everything works as it should.
What exactly is the lilo code in the MBR loading if not the kernel? And
how could it load the kernel if the latter was above cyl 1024?

You are of course completely correct in that it is a matter of
preference. I prefer it my way because I am lazy and I can enter
zcat package.tar.gz | tar tvf -
to see what's in the package - most create their own directory,
but some don't and will clutter up your pwd. Then 7
keystrokes: <up-arrow> 4 x <left-arrow> <backspace> <x>
gives me:
zcat package.tar.gz | tar xvf -
to do the unpacking. I'm sure I could do it faster if I
knew the emacs key bindings available for the history
editory in tcsh, but I'm not so lazy that I want to
learn anything new ;)
The dash is optional for the tar options, too. ;)

I'm confused (and not for the first time). PM 4.0 reads my partitions
created by
Linux fdisk (ver 2.8 - in RH5.2) just fine. And how can partitions be
linked by date
if there's no location pointer?

No, it's by no means easier to install, as the installation of those

The Advanced Interfaces Group, in the Department of Computer Science at the
University of Manchester, UK, announces the release of GNU MAVERIK 4.3, a
software system for supporting Virtual Reality applications.
GNU MAVERIK is Free software released under the GNU General Public Licence,
and is released with full source code, documentation and example programs.
As of release 4.3 GNU MAVERIK is an official component of the Free Software
Foundation's GNU Project located in Boston, USA.

================
WHAT IS MAVERIK?
================
MAVERIK is a system for managing graphics and interaction in Virtual
Reality applications. It is designed to address the challenges of highly
interactive virtual environments containing many objects with complex
geometry. MAVERIK uses either Mesa or OpenGL to perform rendering and runs
on GNU/Linux PCs and Silicon Graphics workstations.
================
DOWNLOAD MAVERIK
================
The complete MAVERIK distribution is available as both RPMs and gzipped
tars from http://aig.cs.man.ac.uk/systems/Maverik, and also from
ftp.gnu.org.
================================
EXAMPLES OF MAVERIK APPLICATIONS
================================
Visit the MAVERIK Applications Gallery
(http://aig.cs.man.ac.uk/systems/Maverik/gallery.html) for examples of
a wide range of MAVERIK applications.
====================
WHY MAVERIK IS NOVEL
====================
MAVERIK dispenses with a separate representation for application data.
Conventional VR systems need to import data into their own format, but
MAVERIK avoids this by making use of the application's own internal data
structures. This has two important benefits:
1) MAVERIK can easily take advantage of optimisations that are highly
application-specific, intimately tied to knowledge that the application
has.
2) MAVERIK can far more readily adapt (dynamically) to a wide range of
application demands. Its flexible design means that applications with
widely differing requirements can be supported.
========================
THE MAVERIK ARCHITECTURE
========================
MAVERIK has two main parts:
1) The MAVERIK micro-kernel implements a set of core services, and a
framework that applications can use to build complete virtual
environments and virtual reality interfaces.
2) The MAVERIK supporting modules contain default methods for optimised
display management including culling, spatial management, interaction
and navigation, and control of VR input and output devices. MAVERIK's
structure allows these default methods to be customised to operate
directly on application data, so that optimal representations and
algorithms can be employed.
============
RELATED WORK
============
MAVERIK provides a framework and toolkit for a single user to perceive,
interact with, and navigate around, a graphically complex Virtual
Environment. Although it can be used stand-alone for single-user VR
applications, it has been designed to integrate with a large-scale
distributed multi-user VR system called Deva, currently under development
(http://aig.cs.man.ac.uk/systems/Deva/). Deva supports multiple virtual
worlds and applications, together with sophisticated methods of specifying
behaviours and laws for objects within VEs. The Advanced Interfaces Group
plans to release the Deva system at a later date.
================
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
================
Funding for development of MAVERIK was provided by the UK's Engineering and
Physical Sciences Research Council (grant GR/K99701), with additional
support from our industrial partners, CADCentre Ltd, Brown & Root Ltd, and
Sharp Laboratories of Europe Ltd.

Just came back from that place actually. Here is what I did to get gnome
and gimp living together happily. I had originally installed gnome and then
installed the libraries gtkn and glibn as part of the gnome installation.
When I went to do a gimp installation from the tarball it found those
libraries and would not permit me to do the install because of the gtk
level. I then received some email from the gnome mailing list regarding the
placement of gtk and glib (no "n"). It seems that one can have two versions
of gtk and glib residing on the same system and what I did was to install
the gtk and glib versions from the SuSE 6 cd and then gimp 1.0.2 from the
suse cd along with the aalib library which gimp wanted. I could not compile
gimp 1.0.2 from the sources but yast happily installed gimp for me after
finding the gtk and glib rpms from the suse 6 cds in place. So to slightly
recap, I installed gnome first and installed the gtkn and glibn libs from
the SuSE 6 rpm site mirrored at www.gnome.org. I wanted gimp 1.0.2 so Karl
from SuSE helped out a bit with installing the gtk and glib libs from the
suse cd. I then tried compiling gimp 1.0.2 and it would not work. I ended
up installing gimp from the suse cd.
All is working quite well here now.

Once you've done that and edited /etc/inittab to a different run-level
(I forget which one), if you want users to log into X and not root (so
you can still do admin stuff without relying on X), insert at the end of
each user's .bashrc the lines:
startx
exit
This will then run startx every time they log in, and log them out every
time they exit X. Got this nifty tip from someone else on the NG, just
passing it on.

Mike,
You are on track. Many people suggested that I use pop3. But as you
have found, many Exchange Admins have this thing about using it and
turn it off. So you have to have a native client to talk to exchange.
I figured if any people on the Net would have figured a way to talk to
Exchange it would have been the Linux group. I guess I was wrong.
Using the forward option is not a valid option since I have to have
access to those darn public folders.
Any one out there just looking for a good challenge and want to code a
