Im a newcomer to linux and I cant seem to find an answer to this in the 3

Indeed, or things like 'rc.sysinit' (why is this not in rcS.d and
truly SysVish?):
# Set the system clock.
echo -n "Setting clock"
ARC=0
UTC=0
if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/clock ]; then
. /etc/sysconfig/clock
# convert old style clock config to new values
if [ "${CLOCKMODE}" = "GMT" ]; then
UTC=true
elif [ "${CLOCKMODE}" = "ARC" ]; then
ARC=true
fi
fi
if [ -x /sbin/hwclock ]; then
CLOCKFLAGS="--hctosys"
CLOCK=/sbin/hwclock
else
CLOCKFLAGS="-a"
CLOCK=/sbin/clock
fi
if [ $UTC = "true" ]; then
CLOCKFLAGS="$CLOCKFLAGS -u";
echo -n " (utc)"
fi
if [ $ARC = "true" ]; then
CLOCKFLAGS="$CLOCKFLAGS -A";
echo -n " (arc)"
fi
echo -n ": "
$CLOCK $CLOCKFLAGS
Now, is that spaghetti? I would say so, after fighting with a RH based
machine that refused to set the time to UTC mode when I set it with
Linuxconf as they recommend.
Why? Lookie:
[gimli:/etc/rc.d] 2:57:05pm 357 % cat /etc/sysconfig/clock
UTC="yes"
ARC=false
So they set it to 'yes' and then look for 'true'? Nevermind that I have
no idea where they got the 'CLOCKMODE' environment variable from. grep
doesn't show it existing in /etc/rc.d/*/* or /etc/sysconfig/*
I had to dig around through a pile of junk to find why they were setting
the clock wrong.
Under good old Slack, this is:
# Configure the system clock.
# This can be changed if your system keeps GMT.
if [ -x /sbin/clock ]; then
/sbin/clock -su
fi
I added the 'u' for UTC.

You don't want to know how much time I wasted trying to find why my RH
system kept screwing up the clock.

My only problem with Slack is lack of glibc2 support.
I'd have less problems with RH if they had -real- SysV init structure (I
put up with it fine on my Solaris machines), but instead they have a
strange hacked job with scripts sourcing other scripts in a nightmare
maze of twisty little passages all alike.

Subject: LS-120
Date: Mon, 26 Apr 1999 10:59:33 -0700
I've seen several posts indicating that the LS-120 works well under
Linux, but I have not been able to get it to work for me. In reading
some of the documentation, I gathered that I need to compile the kernel
to support parallel port devices and parallel port ATAPI disk drives in
particular. I have rebuilt the kernel (1) with these options built in,
and (2) as modules. Neither case yielded the desired results. I've
scoured dejanews, and I haven't found a good answer.
When I boot Linux (I'm currently running 2.2.6), the kernel detects my
LS-120 (which it sees as /dev/hdd) as an ATAPI device, but tags it as
unrecognized. Whenever I try to mount the device, I get the "not a
block device" error. I've tried everything I can think of, but I must
be missing something. If anyone out there has had success getting this
drive to work, I'd sincerely appreciate some hints.
TIA,
Aaron

I'm not sure where I should post this question. Hopefully you will
look over me this time if this is a cross post or off topic.
What I am looking for is information on how to query a pc and find out
what type of components are used. For example: the type, size, etc of
the hard drive, how much memory, bios type, mfgr name, model numbers,

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Subject: PLIP install doesn't install
Date: 26 Apr 1999 19:19:00 GMT
I'm in a bit of a tiff here.
I want to install linux (SuSE 5.3) on a laptop that doesn't have a CDROM.
I do have SuSE 5.3 running on a desktop with a CDROM, so I thought I could
do a NFS install via PLIP.
Apparently I thought wrong.
Here's what I did:
desktop (pentium 60, 24 MB RAM, 4x CDROM)
- installed PLIP: insmod plip
- start PLIP: /sbin/ifconfig plip1 192.168.0.1 pointopoint 192.168.0.2 up
(I used plip1 because neither plip0 or plip2 will work on the server. The
ip addresses were chosen rather arbitrarily because neither machine is
intended to be hooked up on the Internet soon)
- mount CDROM drive: mount /cdrom (/cdrom is the directory where I mount my
CDROM, obviously)
- added "portmap: 192.168.0.2" to /etc/hosts.allow and "/cdrom 192.168.0.2"
to /etc/exports (to export my /cdrom directory to the client). (Obviously I
did this first)
All this worked, that is to say, I didn't get any funky error messages.
Laptop (pentium 75, 16 MB RAM)
- boot with SuSE boot disk (the same one I used for the install on my
desktop)
- go to "install modules" and 'install network card", where I chose "PLIP -
parallel line"
- the default address and IRQ settings seem to work, since the install
program told me that the PLIP module was successfully installed.
- I then filled in the ip-addresses for client (192.168.0.2) and server
(192.168.0.1). I did escape out of the name server dialog, because I hadn't
bothered setting up a name server.
- The install program tries to mount 192.168.0.1:/cdrom and nothing happens
for some time. It all ends with the error message that the network doesn't
seem to be running (duh!). A ping from the server seems to confirm that.
Question: Did I do something wrong software-wise? I checked various
postings concerning PLIP installs and they all seem to include what I did
here, with the exception that many include settings for the client part,
which I assumed the SuSE install script took care off.
The only flaky part in my attempt that I can see is the cable: I salvaged a
parallel port cable from an old LANTastic Z package (a cardless network
between 2 computers - for DOS), assuming it would be a Laplink lookalike.
Anybody know if this was a valid assumption or did I cheapskate myself in
trouble?
As allways: answers will be greatly appreciated and will earn you
everlasting gratitude (a bit less if your suggestion doesn't work).
Thanks.
PS: The laptop is a Dell XPi75, which has a suspend-to-disk mode. Do I need
to set aside a separate partition for that and if so, what kind of
partition do I need (FAT, vFAT, ext2fs or something weird)?

The libforms library is linked against libc5, the other
libraries are linked against libc6. These two versions
of the standard c libraries are incompatible. The
dynamic loader for libc6 will not load libc5 libraries.
You will need to update libforms.so to a libc6
version.

I must need to get out more. On what are you basing your opinion that it is
/not/ a great language. An advance in underlying design possibly not, but as
a language why not? Java (even with its downfalls) provides IMHO the best of
the old C contructs, OO design (be that good or bad for certain
tasks...another thread), and the non-destructor -free()ing referencing that
purely interpreted languages usually provide.
I continually fail to see why so many people think it `sucks.'

Does it? I've tried firing up a remote Netscape 4 over a 33.6K modem and
I swear, it took several minutes before there was any effect on the local
display! How about something really lightweight like an xclock? If it
can't connect to your server you'll get an error message, otherwise you
should see something.
Is the link healthy? Is there RX light activity on the modem while you're
waiting for a display? Can you still get a good ping time to the remote
machine when things are stuck? In my limited experience PPP dialup networking
is much more likely to get hosed than X windows.
And as someone else noted, you can try using LBX (low bandwith X.) Here
is the incantation to run on the remote end, if LBX is intalled there:
lbxproxy :1 -display whatever:0 &
where "whatever" is the Linux box. Then set the DISPLAY variable to ":1".
The X application thinks it's talking to a local display at :1, and the proxy
translates this to compressed communications with the remote X server.
Only, when I tried it it didn't do any miracles. Netscape still took a couple
of minutes to fire up, but it would have been useable in a pinch.

It should be easy to have such a newsgroup created in the alt.*

people who aren't doing things that belong in a scripting language like perl.
Try writing a GUI based program in perl, and you'll see how badly it sucks
compared to java in that reguard.
Note: I said **in perl**. not "perl+tk", not "perl+XXX".
In java you don't need any extra add-ons. It's all in one (fairly) coherent
distribution.
Plus, I greatly doubt they were using any decent java runtime, since it
was 30 times slower.
If you are *really* testing the langauge, not
'How efficient is your system("cmd") implementation', then java should
be very close to perl in speed. Sometimes, faster.

informationon the OS. I would greatly appreciate it if you just checked
it out and let me know what you think, I can use all of the input I can
get. Thanks to all of the people who comented on the site already. I
hope you like the new additions. The address is:
