1. Please put your reply *after* the post that you reply to.
2. The way articles propagate on Usenet is quite slow, it might in
some cases take as long as two days until you see a reply to you
post (or indeed until other people see your post at all). It all
depends on the connectivity of your news server and the news
servers around it.
3. Go to <URL:http://www.faqs.org/> they have information on every

- Because doing multitasking on an 80386 just seems Too Easy;
- Because it's not as minimalist as programming PICs;
- Because it can demonstrate that MS-DOS was the poorer choice
when it was _first_ released :-);
- Because you want to do some new, improved Z-80 hacks.

Strong language gets results. "The reloader is completely broken in
242" will open a lot more eyes than "The reloader doesn't load files
with intermixed spaces, asterisks, and <'s in their names that are
bigger than 64K". You can always say the latter in a later paragraph.

Subject: Where can I find a kernel?
Date: Wed, 27 Sep 2000 04:11:15 -0600
I need a linux kernel that is close to th 2.3 release and which will mount
the filesystem of tyoe msdos. My dos partition is FAT16 nad my current
kernel does not understand msdos while mounting.
Since my DOS file system and the linux file system cannot talk, I cannot
download the source of the kernel and then compile.
Is there any dos utility that understand the linux file system and
transfer files between dos and linux?
Thanks

Subject: lilo problem
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have yet to figure out why I can't get lilo to boot
the 2.4.0-testx kernels I've compiled. The test8
version works fine booting from a floppy. I even tried the
latest Lilo from metalab and I get the famous (at least
to me) "No setup signature found". I have a AMD Athlon 650
and KX133 MB with all SCSI drives. I have Symbios 53c875 based
SCSI cards. Could some tell me how the have lilo setup to boot
2.4.0x kernels? I have all my kernels in the root directory.
Could this be causing the problem?
All of the 2.2.x kernels work fine.

Hello,
I got a problem with net booting.
I have a RH 6.2 installed on a computer, and it works fine.
But i want my computer to boot on the network.
So i put a 3com nic with a flash rom, configure a bootp and tftp
server
and made a boot image (with the netboot package).
The computer loads the image properly and loads the kernel, but i have
a
message during the boot process :
Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= options to kernel.
Can anybody explain me this message and help me ?
Thanks.

Z80 is still the biggest selling CPU. About $0.25 per unit in quantity.

Yes, exactly, you have put your finger right on it. It has been the upgrading
that got me into this.
This disk started as RH5.2 and is all the way to 6.2, every step has been an
upgrade. THAT's how the
"funnies" have arisen. Using your methodology, I confirmed the location, which
was as we expected.
did the file re-creation, and LOOKIE!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone
I am a windows user, conforming to the penguin.... I have a question
about the dir structure.
I would like to know about /sbin /bin /usr/bin /usr/sbin /usr/local/bin
/usr/local/sbin etc etc
I think the user/bins will only show files(programs) for the user who
installed them?
What is the diff between /usr/local/bin and /usr/bin ?
Is bin plain ole binary and sbin is system binary?
I guess I just dont see why there are so man bins and sbins.
The thing that confuses me the most is that different proggies I install
from either RPM or GZ put themselves in any of the bin dirs ...
Like ill install an app and find it in /usr/local/bin then ill install
another adn find it in /usr/bin ?
I just would like some smart linux guru out there to explain the diff
between the bin dirs, and why different proggies show up in different
locations instead of all in one?
Guess that is it... Except is the /opt dir for optional (additional)
programs? I just want to understand the linux dir structure as I am a
neat freak, and Im sick of Windows.... hence I want to use Linux
Exclusivley.

Hi Dirk,
I had the same problem, so I guess it's a bug. Try to hit the F Key and
enter the name of the program you wish to start, that should work or use
something other to dial up to the internet. Or look in the web if you
can find an older or newer version of kppp.

You could _try_ it. Or... check on the distribution media, or on Mandrake's
website, for the Lilo version, and in your system documentation for BIOS
features. If all fails, get yourself Partirion Magic, which will allow you

Only the administrator (root) should be able to install programs outside
of your home directory. The permissions on each file determine who
can view, delete, or execute them.

/usr/bin is for programs that come on the CD. /usr/local/bin is for
programs that you install yourself. "local," in this case, means
specific to that computer.
>Is bin plain ole binary and sbin is system binary?
/bin, /usr/bin, and /usr/local/bin are for general use programs,
in descending order of importance for basic system functions.
/sbin, /usr/sbin, and /usr/local/sbin are mainly for networking
and system administration functions, I guess, but I don't think
that's written down anywhere.
There's also /usr/X11R6/bin, for X window clients.
The $PATH environment variable which has the same function as
on Microstuffing, should be something like:
export $PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/bin:/bin"
so that your own locally installed substitutes for the distribution's
programs get run instead.

Oh, didn't see that part before. You must mean me. :)

/opt is what Solaris uses for application packages... probably right,
optional to the system.
Most of this is explained in introductory Unix texts. Linux
Installation and Getting Started is a free one. It's at

All,
Before I get any messages back saying 'Why do you want to do that?' and
'Just ditch your Microsoft products' - they are not an option.
Question:
Can I run an NT OS on a linux based machine, if so how?
