Subject: Another GNU tar question
Date: 11 Jul 2000 23:28:28 GMT
I'm doing some tar'ing in -z (compressed) mode.
Now, I know that it is possible to read a compressed tar archive,
via a pipe, without having enough free space on disk to accomodate the
entire _uncompressed_ archive. This is because the decompressing
happens "on the fly", in other words, gunzip doesn't need to see the
whole .gz file before it starts to work on it. What about the other
way around? From what I understand about Lempel-Ziv compression, the
entire input file must be read before the compression starts. Or is
this not true? If it is true, this implies that in order to create a
compressed tar archive of N bytes of data, I need to have N bytes of
free space on disk, does it not?
If all my assumptions are correct, someone please explain this:
tar zcSlpf /zip/usr.bin.-usr.src.tar.gz --exclude=*netscape*/cache
--exclude=/zip/usr.bin.-usr.src.tar.gz --totals
--label=usr/bin/-usr/src/ --atime-preserve usr/bin/ usr/dict/
usr/games/ usr/include/ usr/info/ usr/lib/ usr/man/ usr/sbin/ usr/src/
Total bytes written: 135198720
Total bytes written: 135198720 (135.2 Mb)

The first part says, "tar archived and compressed 135.2 Mb of data".
The second part shows that nowhere do I have a filesystem with that
much free space. Unless tar/linux is smart enough to use all my filesystems
at once... -chris

Well, doing rpms you can select --target i586-pc-gnu for example.
Things like gcc you can pass stuff like -mcpu=pentium, -march=pentium etc
The configure script will also accept a --target argument the same as source
rpms (should have done those two the other way round...).

It's your choice. If you think it would be better for you to get another
computer, then go for it. It's completely possible to have Win98 and Linux on
the same hard drive. (BTW, you don't need Partition Magic if you're going to buy
another hard drive for your existing computer, only if you want to resize your
windows partition on your existing hdd to make room for an ext2 [linux]
partition.)
Don't ask me what you should wear to work tomorrow, either. =p~

Well, there's one fool-proof way if you really want to find out if
your drive is doing compression. Use dd to create a 128MB file from
/dev/zero, and another 128MB file from /dev/urandom. When I copied the
random-data file over and over to the no-rewind tape device, I got about
3.5GB before error; the zero-data one kept going and I gave up after
about 12GB. So I concluded that compression was working...
Slackware comes with GNU mt and mt_st; the latter is from the BSD NET-2
distribution and it understands the SCSI controls. You could try that
one, but I didn't have any luck using it with my DDS-2 drive.

No, compression and decompression are on-the-fly and do not need to
read in all the input before producing output. The algorithms adapt
to the data as it comes in.

I for one think this is a reasonable question.
My suggestion is, if the only reason for getting another computer
would be to read documentation while installing linux, then don't do
it. (It should be possible to get your linux to the point of
Netscaping for info without having to Netscape for info, but hey, I
could be wrong). If, on the other hand, you're looking for an excuse
to buy another computer: buy another computer! Especially if you think
you'll need to use DOS after getting linux set up, rebooting is a pain
in the ass. -chris

You leave out the most important information, what video card or chip?
If you are booting to runlevel 5 (GUI) you should switch to runlevel 3
until you get X sorted out. Find a line like the following in
/etc/inittab and change it from 5 to 3 like this:
id:3:initdefault:
You should be able to use Ctrl-Alt-F2, to F6. to switch to other consoles,
but I have never booted into runlevel 5. If you cannot figure that out,
reinstall and answer NO when it asks if you want to boot to GUI mode.

Which Linux distro? You should NOT see the odd ppp characters on the
screen. RedHat has linuxconf that can easily set up a ppp connection.
Initially try setting up a connection using PAP authentication instead of
a login script.
Once you get it working you should be able to bring up a connection using
'if-up ppp0' (or /sbin/ifup ppp0 as a normal user if that is enabled).
Otherwise check /usr/doc/ppp-<version> for sample scripts.

Actually, I have the ide-scsi module loaded in rc.modules. Is there a
reason for doing it in conf.modules? The one reason I can think of is
that the kernel would automatically load/unload the module, but I have
the autoload feature disabled, so would it work?

You can edit text, shred text, do all sorts of unspeakable things to

If it is because they lack the WYSIWYG feature, then why was Word Star
