Subject: does linux support compressed binaries?
Date: 07 May 1999 20:06:11 GMT

I just signed up with an ISP that is running linux.

One thing that I haven't been able to determine is whether or not there
is some way I can "compress" (in some fashion) the binaries that I'll
be putting in my ~/bin, and have them automatically loaded/executed.

I ask, because this is something that is supported transparently at my
old ISP (running FreeBSD) ... all one needs to do is gzip the binary,
and rename it to eliminate the .gz extension.  The loader does the rest.

The new ISP is running:

 Red Hat Linux release 4.0 (Colgate)
 Kernel 2.0.18 on an i586

 W: uname -a
 Linux earth.wazoo.com 2.0.18 #1 Tue Oct 22 14:28:15 EDT 1996 i586

and something along the lines of what FreeBSD does, would be very
convenient, as the new account only comes with 5 MB of storage.


I also know of a scheme that could be used at Netcom (SunOS) when I
had an account there, wherein the gzip'd binary would be appended to a
small shell script, which would uncompress the binary append, and then
exec it.  This scheme (mostly) worked, but could cause problems with
signal handling (^Z, etc), in some circumstances.

Does linux have such a mechanism available (if there is no transparent
mechanism)?

Thanks for any info ...

While trying to install some (forgot which) program, I discovered I need

Now the questions:

1) as a Red Hat 5.2 user, once I install glibc-2.1.1-6.i386.rpm (the
last one, I hope),
    am I done? Or I have to tweak something manually?

2) Once I've done it, can I install my previous libraries, or some
programs still depend
    on the previous version?

3) Do GLIBC2 have some major bugs, that should prevent me from
installing it?

4) Last: where the major documentation on this topic lies, particularly
for GLIBC2 & RH5.2 ????

All this talk about Linux not being documented.. well it is a little odd.
Most of the GNU utils are a little sparse with their man pages.. they tend
to document with gnu-info (I don't like it myself.. at least I don't like
the emacs like curses (Or equiv) info reader.  I can see where they are
getting at with the info format and hyperlinking..  but I still do prefer
the manpage format.

gnu utils, before you say they are undocumentd, should have their info
pages inspected, and the listing from
g<frombsd> --help

I don't find that docs are a problem with my Debian 2.2 system, and I
have not had much experience with the docs system for FreeBSD..  going
by the reports in this thread.. every app is going to be at least as well
documented as bash is in linux.  I won't hold my breath too hard (Seems like
people have been recounting linux experiences from a few years back  or from
the GUI-centric Redhat distribution that I don't  really have much time for.

No Use loadlin !

I'd strongly recommend loadlin for any one with a FAT[32] partition.
Because it has no BIOS related problems so will always work.  It is also
easier to set up and there is no problem with Windows 9x removing LILO.

Literacy was around 99% in the late 19th century, before there were
educational systems funded by federal or state governments on a
widespread scale. Since the implementation of universal government
education, literacy has declined.

Yes, but military expenses are part of the government's duty to
protect their citizens. It has nothing to do with planning an
economy.

(During wartime a transition to a planned economy is often
neccessary and may even be desirable; I'm not discussing that
here, however.)

People are generally opposed to vaccination because either (a) they've
had a horrible experience with the 1% of vaccinations where the vaccinee
becomes ill or (b) they're religiously opposed to it, in which case it's
not a position of a civil authority to use force (we don't need a Sharia

Actually this is both FHS and POSIX compliant, as well as common
sense:
    - Binaries needed to boot the machine go into /bin and /sbin
    - Binaries that are part of the non-X part of the distribution
      go into /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
    - Binaries that run under X go to /usr/X11R6/bin

AND:
    - Binaries that you install locally go to /usr/local/bin.

Basically, the distribution of an operating system should never touch
/usr/local - that's your own space.  That's also why "configure" uses
this directory by default - that's where you want to put things when
you build them locally.

For OS distributions, they would be built with "configure --prefix=/usr",
for instance.

In FreeBSD's case, it makes sense to put items from the ports
collection into /usr/local - that's because those are programs you
essentially get and build on your own.   They do not have an
uninstaller, similar to Debians 'dpkg --purge <packagename>', and so
manual surgery is needed.  That's why they are in /usr/local - so that
/usr remains free from cruft.

Now, the difference between ../bin and ../sbin is a little more
unclear.   It used to be that static binaries went into sbin, and
binaries linked against a library in ../lib went into ../bin.
Nowadays, however, more and more people seem to have the idea that
'sbin' is for system administration utilities.

Would not do the job anyway ... chown root /usr/sbin/pppd and
chmod 4111 would do the job if you do not want to put pppd in
its own group (users can be in more than one group).

If you want to, then ...
chgrp whatever /usr/sbin/pppd
chmod 4110     /usr/sbin/pppd
... and see usermod for the rest.

Well I tried it out to some extend: I want to be able to use all
mentioned resolutions (640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1152x864, 1280x1024
(that is the usual resolution, I never saw 1200x1024 before)) without
having to edit /etc/XF86Config all the time. I did not manage to get
there whatever I tried. I can use 640x480, 800x600, 1280x1024 without
problem but the other two just give a black screen.

By the way, may graphic-card is an appollo 3D 9750 AGP which has a
Trident 9750 graphic-processor.

        That's a rather naieve point of view given the typical consumer.
        That's also compounded by the fact that software is the sort of
        thing that tends to lock the consumer in once they've made that
        first fatal mistake (vendorlock).

In the newsgroups there were notes that a very few persons did obtain

a refund, more in Australia from what I saw.   Most of the effort
that
went along with the protest day seemed to be directed 
more to publicize that there is another computer operating system,
rather than address the justice issue that a consumer should not be
expected to pay for something he does not want.  Had the effort been
more on the individual justice, the protest march would have been
better
directed at the persons who put the operating system there--the 
hardware manufacturer;  such an international protest would have been
splintered at diverse sites,  and directed at many different
companies, 
so the publicity would not have been as good as against the one.

If you are set on not paying for the one OS, the best way would be to

buy it from a place that is willing to sell that way, without it
installed.  The
place that you purchase from should be able to tell you the exact 
procedure to obtain any refund and specify what value that is, and 
guarantee that you get it in a specific time.  If the seller does not
do
this, expect a hassle that might not be worth the time and effort.
If you do not purchase the computer from a vendor because of the 
bundled OS, be sure the vendor knows why, and he can start to
think about how to increase his sales.

There is something like gzexec ... there is something like a security

Every Linux installation should come with one, though if not you
might take a look here ...
ftp.demon.co.uk:/pub/gnu/gzip
... 

It should be a .shar file there, this is a shell archive and you
can "unpack" using sh <file>. If you still have problems or there
is no such thing (I'd to look to be honest) send me a mail and then
I can either send it to you or you can download the source from
my machine.

Either glib is not at 1.2.2 or you need to add "--disable-glibtest"
when running configure.
