I'm trying to get the Public Domain Korn Shell to run on my openlinux
install, but its giving me grief. I tried download and compiling the
RPM, but when i run ksh, i get a segmentation fault. I found the
compiled for openlinux rpm on caldera's website, but once this was
installed it also gave me a segmentation fault. Any ideas?

P.S. Its probably my fault, its dangerous to put a hardcore DOS guy into

You know, I'd like to ask MS just one thing. If Win98/98 doesn't run on DOS 7.0
why

Really complex answer: There are more than one verson of SuSE 6.1.
After the original, the on I have with the 2.2.5 kernel sold out, they
made a new master and used the 2.2.7 kernel. One thing though, SuSE
customizes its kernels so patching won't work on it. I download the
full 2.2.9 tree but never got around to putting it on. The problem
2.2.X kernel is 2.2.8 Thats why 2.2.9 came out so fast. Also, you said
above "make_install" you know that this is not the way to install a
kernel right? There is a very good chapter in your book on how this is
done. Just checking to see if you knew this.

Very close, so only that fsck does not use names but entries like ...
#2468
... are created where # is not a comment here. You often can do a ...
find . -inum 2468 -print
... to find the file this one might come from or just delete it. If it
is not a text file the more common case.
Minor note, lost+found had better be there, despite of requiring some
disk space and if you delete it, there is a mklost+found programme though
you can create one manually too. mklost+found just adjusts the size for
you.

Sadly enough it was "soon" a year ago too. Mosaic, or mMosaic is

Have you ever thought of using vmware.
vmware lets you run Windows inside a Linux box. If your PC is faster than a

That means the your Kernel is too big! Or that you incorrectly installed the
soruce (Did you make a link: /usr/linux or somin like).
Try typing in the source directory:
make bzImage
or if you use lilo (LInux LOader) then type:
make bzlilo

First of all, RedHat 5.3 does'nt excist. You probably mean SuSE 5.3?
If yes, I advice you to get the glibc library and download ASLA or if you

The device permissions will change as soon as a user does use the
device. Programs need world-access to allocate the device and change
there rights to what they think is suitable.

You probably used an old config file from the older 2.0.x kernels.
You should create a completly new config for your 2.2 kernels using
either make menuconfig or make xconfig.
Be sure to enable your VGA console in the Console Driver section !!

Since the usual Intel CPU's are not 64 bit long long's are done in
software, part of libgcc.a. I cannot tell whether you can force gcc / egcs
to generate inline code here, sorry. If not you're probably up to some
asm code.

Definitely not true. An OS is a piece of software that interfaces with
the hardware platform directly. Windows95/98 do this to a very small
extent, but they do do this. Technially (and it *really* pains me to
say this), that makes these platforms a hybrid OS/OE (Operating
Enviornment).
NetWare is an operating system that uses DOS as a bootstrap. After
SERVER.EXE starts, it throws DOS away. If you were to tell anyone who
runs a NetWare system that NetWare was a DOS application, you'd be
laughed out of the room.

Yes; I thought about a builtin (sorry for the confusion) but as you
said, __udivdi3 and __umoddi3 are probably self contained, a dissasemble
ought to show, and then linking to libgcc.a should do the job.

I can't imagine why & would be special.
Just escape the & by using \& or quoting the filename.

Grab the code for these functions from libgcc source and compile them into
your module. That way the symbols will be there. Be sure to check for any
that those also call. You may also need to hack those functions to deal
with any assumptions they might make (e.g. other libraries) that do not
apply in the kernel. For example, serious error messages might need to
go to printk(). The quick hack would be to comment or ifdef out anything
you don't actually need.

Why write a program to do that? What you're probably looking for is a Web
Proxy, like Squid.
Also, check the HOWTOs at:
http://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/
Specifically the WWW-HOWTO and the Netscape+Proxy mini-howto.
Also, news.admin.net-abuse.usenet is for discussion of Usenet spammage.
Your discussion is off topic on NANAU. Post to comp.os.linux.misc instead
(unless a better group exists in comp.os.linux.*)
Thank you, drive through.
