Subject: How to install new applications???
Date: Thu, 23 Mar 2000 15:39:59 GMT
I feel like a complete idiot, but I have tried everything to install
applications downloaded off the internet. I can't log on to the
internet with Linux, but log on with windows, download applications, as
either .tar or .tar.gz files and then transfer over to my Linux
desktop. Then I try everything conceivably possible from a terminal
window to install.
I try "gunzip"ing the .gz files then tar -xvf the tar files but nothing
seems to happen. Can someone please give me a step by step approach on
how to install software in Linux, so that a dummy could understand. I
am using Mandrake 7.0.
Thanks - Tim

Subject: Mesa3D (OpenGL) porting
Date: Thu, 23 Mar 2000 08:36:26 -0800
Hello all. Before I jump into a project, I wonder if anyone can give me
a heads up on what to expect in porting OpenGL to a console (for example
Sony
Playstation2). I'm just beginning with Mesa 3.0 on Redhat 6.1 and have
plenty to do learning gcc and making the demos compile. Can you
indicate what would be my next step to take these demos into the
libraries defined by Sony to play on the console hardware? For
instance, will I fiddle with headers or do I have to rewrite all the
OGL functions ?
Any ideas, warnings, commiseration or encouragement would be Very much
appreciated.

Hi,
I currently have two network cards in my linux box running
RedHat 6.1. One of the cards is in the 192.168.0.x domain and
the other is in the 192.168.1.x domain.
How do I properly set up the box as a router to route
packets back and forth the two domains ?
Please don't ask me to look up HowTos, I have gone
through those but still couldn't figure out the tricks.
Thanks a million

The gpart version I have seen would guess the NTFS partition size one
sector too small, but this does not explain this case.
If the partition begins at CHS 39/1/1 and contains 11630992+1 sectors,
the correct end CHS would be 762/254/59. My guess is that end sector
58, 59 and 63 would all work in that case.
A partition beginning 39/1/1 would originally have been a logical
partition, but that should mean nothing. Except if NT some way depends
on the partition being logical.
The question is how the partition got the non standard size, and if
this involves an error, that will prevent the partition from being
used.
Can't you attempt to mount the partition? I do not have the mount NTFS
options present, but you also can use NTFSDOS available at
http://www.sysinternals.com/ntfs30.htm Use the link at the bottom of
the page. Or you could of cause attempt to use the disk in the
original machine.
If you need further help, you can get Findpart at
http://inet.uni2.dk/~svolaf/utilities.htm, do
findpart all fp.txt
and mail me fp.txt.

binfmt-464c is ELF binary support; you need it compiled into the kernel.
(The kernel wants to run some ELF binary, so it tries to load the
ELF-binaries module. This will fail, because modprobe is an ELF binary.)

The different OSes are superior in different areas.
Windows is easier to install and configure, particularly for a novice, no
doubt about it. (At least until Plug & Pray screws up, or the registry gets
corrupted, or you look at the system cross-eyed during the wrong phase of
the moon. :-)
However, Linux has superior performance, stability, flexibility, and security
for the knowledgeable user -- as well as being available at low or no cost.
Will Linux ever be accessible to today's typical "I want to use a 'puter while
remaining totally ignorant" user? Beats me. But for someone either experienced
or willing to learn, the rewards are definitely there in using Linux.

The SuSE Linux distribution supports booting from a RAID disk. It comes with
a driver for ICP Vortex RAID controller, so you may configure an appropriate

There are some limitations in how far this can go. First, the kernel
and basic operating system functions are still open, so one
vendor like Micorsoft can't try to take over the whole shebang
by "integrating" applications with the operating system and
excluding others. Secondly, whenever there is a choice between
an open source application and a proprietary application, users will
choose the latter, even if initially it is slower or less efficient.
The reason is that bugs will be fixed more quickly by users
and because of the bias of Linux users for open software.

Knowing that these systems are getting pretty old, I
am often asked by people who have acquired them very
inexpensively, if Linux has been ported to
them.
(These systems normally run CLIX OS. ~ System V release 3).
So, has anyone ever tried to do this or do these systems

Perhaps you should consult a product research company. Suggestions from the
group may reflect desires we have, but there may already be people working
on or
about to release software suggested here. You'd be fighting an uphill
battle.
A few thousand bucks spent on research can save you hundreds of thousands
later on.
SRI (Stanford Research International) does exactly what you're asking us to
do.
Because of SRI, cameras, for example, look completely different than they
did
10 years ago. www.sri.com
What you want to write is software that nobody else is working on, that
everyone
wants, but they don't know they want it. :-)
I'd like to meet the person who invented sex, to see what they're working on

The lack of 'having support for everything' does not equate
to not superior. Until a few days ago, the only reasonably
stable version of Windows didn't support USB either.
A few days from now, a 2.4 distro might be available with USB
built in.
The printer is either going to be easy or simply not available.
Besides, for the price of an NT5 licence you can replace the
mouse and the printer and still have money left over for self
help guides or pizza.

Subject: Trouble with GNU tar remote access LINUX to HP-UX
Date: Thu, 23 Mar 2000 12:56:28 -0500
Hello,
I've used GNU Tar's remote features with success before and really
like the capability. I've even done it from IBM AIX to HP HP-UX systems
without trouble. However, when I try it from a LINUX box to an
HP-UX system, I get error messages.
Example:
[linux]$ tar -tvf hpux1:/dev/rmt/c1t2d0BEST
I get the following error messages immediately:
sh: No address associated with name
tar: Cannot open ws6-nhdr:/dev/rmt/c1t2d0BEST: Input/output error
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
The tape in the drive connected to the HP system is a good tape with
files on it. /dev/rmt/c1t2d0BEST is the correct device on the
HP-UX system. /etc/hosts.equiv and /.rhosts are setup to allow
equivalent rhost access from the LINUX system and both machines can
resolve each other's names. I'm using GNU Tar v1.13.
I wonder if this happens in part because linux uses the rsh command for
a remote shell while HP calls that command remsh. HP's rsh is something
all together different. On my IBM systems, I've created a link 'remsh'
to the 'rsh'command and all works well. On Linux, if I create this link,
or even copy rsh to remsh, running a remsh command doesn't work... must
be something in the Linux rsh code that looks at argv[0].
Has anyone seen this? And better yet, can someone recommend a solution
for getting a Linux box to access a tape drive on an HP-UX system?
Thanks!
Brian
