Looks like your root file system was corrupted
due to the crash. This may have screwed up the
info for the file /sbin/init, hence the error.
You can specify to the kernel command line under LILO
which program Linux should use for init (as opposed
to the default of /sbin/init). When you reboot the
system, at the LILO prompt hit the tab key, then
type the following:
linux init=/bin/sh
That will make the kernel launch /bin/sh as the "init"
executable, which drops you immediately to a command
prompt. At that point you should be able to perform
any necessary maintenance. I would recommend running
a fsck pass on your root partition for starters ;-).
If you can't init with /bin/sh you have bigger problems...
Hope this helps,

Subject: Linux/Quake II
Date: Sun, 11 Jul 1999 15:49:12 +0000
I just bought Quake II Colossus for Linux.
I can get Quake to run in X using softx (quake2 +set vid_ref softx) but
I'd rather run it in a console. I try tunning it in a console (quake2
+set vid_ref soft) but it blanks the screen and after a few seconds, my
monitor seems to 'stop'
I'm wondering if anyone has any information about running Quake under
Linux using SVGALib, or any general information about SVGAlib.
I'm using RedHat 5.1
Thanks, take care,

I don't know Caldera, but in Redhat, a lot of time adjustment tools just
shift the time from the CPU time, without actually changing the CPU time.
So, when you re-boot, your system goes back to what it had. You CPU time
( hit del when booting to get to the setup menu and set the clock) should
be either in local or GMT time. If you told Caldera to use local, you
should be matching your MS Windows clock. It sounds to me like your Linux
is set up to read the CPU clock as GMT time, which means that CPU clock
needs to have the correct GMT time. Your time zone specification simply
adds/subtracts the correct number of hours from GMT for your local time.
But if your CPU is off (say by two hours) for GMT, so will your local
time zone clock.
Unfortunately, setting your CPU to GMT will cause your Windows clock to
be off (Windows uses the CPU clock without adjustments). GMT is
preferable, because it keeps your clock in sync with any other systems
you connect to (you are using a true reference internal time and all time
stamps are in sync). Also, as far as I know, Windows has no provision to
keep time stamps in sync across a network where you may be connecting to
machines in different time zones. But if you dual boot you may be better
using local time. You could reset everything to local time (There should
be some time zone setting tool in Caldera that will cause Linux to
interpet the CPU clock as local time instead of GMT time. Its also in
some config file, but I'm not sure which one). Then on next reboot, this
will sync your Linux and Windows times up to both use the local time
right off the CPU clock.

Well, this is a more rational response than most I've seen so far...
But, here's the thing... Yes, computers, as they are now, _are_ more
complex than cars. But, the thing is most people don't _want_ to do
most of the things you mention. Most people don't care about monitoring
traffic in a worldwide network, or developing a program to simulate
galaxy formation or designing an integrated chip. Most people do
want to type up a report for school or work.
The fact that the computer _can_ do everything, doesn't mean that
everyone who uses a computer _wants_ to do everything... Although
Rob McConnell says his daughter will eventually learn Linux and C
and C++ and Perl, if she does so, eventually she starts to become
a programmer in addition to a CPA. This, IMHO, is not something
most are interested in, which keeps us programmers in business...
That doesn't make us superior to them anymore than my mechanic is
superior to me for knowing how the car works, or the phone company
guys for knowing how the phone works...
Anyhow, the reason computers are the way that they are, is that
they are made by enthusiasts, and it leads to feature creep, and
eventually you have e-mail that can be programmed and needs to
be configured in 6000 different ways to allow for every possible
contingency, (NOT following the 80/20 rule). To bring it full cirle
the infinite configurability leads to macro languages in everything
because, "hey, if we put a programming language in the blender,
then the user could _customize_ what to do based on if they want
to do x, y, and z"... This leads to viruses again, because, no
most people don't want to deal with the extra complexity involved
in such customization of their blender. I'll tell you I don't know
a tenth of the features that are on my microwave. I see 42 buttons
on it, and I only use 11. The numbers and the start button. I never
feel inadequate because of this.
Things should be designed simpler... I'm looking forward to the
Sony Playstation-2 for this actually... I think it'll nicely fit
the 80/20 rule. Most people want to play games, type up letters
of different sorts, surf the net, play on IRC or MUDs and send
email. That's it. When they move into the 20 region, then it's
time to move to the PC with infinite configurability and all.
Until then, why should they know how everything works, when
instead, they could be focussing on whatever their career choice
is? The marine biologist should have a transparent enough interface
to study dolphins, instead of figuring out how the spreadsheet works.
There isn't any reason why Stephen Hawking should be the only one
who is excused for _perhaps_ not knowing the underlying details
of the machine, and instead focussing on his own area of interest.
Binesh
(Again, I do _not_ know that Stephen Hawking doesn't understand
the internals of computers... But I wouldn't fault him for not
knowing how to write a program, or for not knowing what BSOD
means.)

First create a entry in the fstab for easy mounting the floppy by hand
as user or ruth. Should look like
/dev/hdc /floppy msdos noauto,user
Suggest you have a /floppy entry, then mount /floppy and umount /floppy
will do the job.
Take a look at autofs, i installed it just on two computers. This

Internal modems in Toshiba laptops are mostly winmodems, and I guess the one in
your computer should be so, too. Basically, a winmodem is not a real modem, but
only parts of a modem, which leaves much of the job of the modem to the
computer itself. This, in turn, means that someone have to write the code that
does this job. There is, at least not that I'm aware of, any standards for
winmodems, thus the job has to be done for every winmodem out there.
Now, there's technically no reason why a winmodem shouldn't work under Linux,
provided anyone a) got the specifications (can be difficult) and b) bothered to
write drivers. This isn't really likely to happen any time soon, I guess.

While this may be of no use to the original poster, whom I hope gets

be when you've tried EVERYTHING. I'd like to thank you for fixing my own
inability to get Linux to get a response from the WWW for the last three

Your suggestion worked perfectly after I put a -vj line in
/etc/ppp/options and I'm now happily using Linux to post this response.
Note, Caldera Open linux (which I use) has no linuxconf command.

Yep. http://btxe.uue.org and grab the latest source tree (the beta;
NOT the XR6 source tree). It's Makefile will compile for Linux.
Although, unfortunately it doesn't appear to work for me (syntax errors
in the Makefile).
Perhaps a C programmer can fix it and post the corrected Makefile.

Keep in mind:
Indications are that they will be using the Linux *KERNEL.*
There is *not* indication that they will be building a UNIX on top of it,
with init, GLIBC, and such.
(That being said, it is entirely likely that such things might be considered
of value in that they would allow one to run programs that assume init/LIBC/
X/...)
In other words, the connections to Linux as we know it may be less than
you'd expect.

The problem has been fixed. See my post to the 7/11/99 kppp and Netscape
(can't connect) thread where a similar problem was being discussed.

>> If there is, as it to teceive?
I recently wrote a driver for a Hunt Engineering DSP card which also uses the
S5933. You will find it on the metalab archive (aka sunsite)
http://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/kernel/misc-cards/
under the name hepc3-0.9.0.tar.gz. I am working on a new version with support
for 2.2 kernels and LinuxPPC, which is almost finished except for the docs.
If you are interested, please send me a mail, and I will send you the "pre-
release"...
Hope this helps, Albrecht,
