Subject: Which Gcc version to compile Linux Kernel ?
Date: Sat, 21 Oct 2000 16:22:31 +0200
During one of my Searches For Knowledge(tm) on the internet, I have stumbled
across some information related to kernel compilation that confused me
terribly. There is conflicting information available to which gcc version
should preferably be used to compile the linux kernel v2.2.16. There seem to
be people who claim that the kernel should preferably be compiled with Gcc
2.72.x instead of Gcc 2.95.x, due to some issues with 2.95.x, and the fact
that Linus himself still exclusively uses (and therefore tests) the kernel
with 2.72.x. I realize that this question has probably been asked before,
but when I do a search on, for example, deja, I get some results that say to
use Gcc 2.72.x, and some results that say to use Gcc 2.95.x. Now this might
be outdated info, but I can't help but wonder... So if anyone has info
regarding the use of Gcc 2.95.2 vs Gcc 2.72.3 with kernel compilations ?
Sincerely confused,
T.R. Donahue.

I've got this in my box, no problem. Initially I had a straight RH6.2 distro (which
includes the tulip module prebuilt), and it worked first time. Since then, I compiiled
support into my kernel, still works fine.
If you try to build the module and it failed, I'm not surprised that it didn't work.
You don't mentioned your linux distribution, which would help people respond to your
inquiry.

You can export your document from inside of LyX into a variety of
formats: HTML, ASCII, PS, LaTEX etc.
Once you have a ps you can turn it into a pdf with ps2pdf (or other
tools, such as pstill).

I've done it. The company I work for has a set of styles for writing
specifications and test procedures. For the most part, it works
reasonably well. Making global changes is fairly clumsy, what with
having to do it through tabbed dialogs and not having a clear overview
of which styles are inherited from where, but it can be done.
Of course you're screwed if someone inserts hard formatting, since
there's no way to prevent that. Plus there's no way to change all of
your documents without loading each of them into Word. These problems
limit the usefulness of styles as compared with LaTeX or LyX or most
other packages built on top of TeX.

Of course, trying to run UNIX on such computers as were used for

(At some point I think that it turned out that Linus and Alan Cox both used
egcs-1.1.*.)
Alan Cox now maintains 2.2.*, and in some recent release notes (see
http://www.linux.org.uk/) he writes:
: This code is intended to build with gcc 2.7.2 and egcs 1.1.2. Patches for
: building with gcc 2.95 are merged but less tested than other compilers.
: Caution is recommended when using gcc 2.95 and feedback is sought.

...<snip>...
I only saw Hugh's followup, not the original post, and snipped Hugh's
reply. My printcap has a line something like this:
lp|lpl:lp=/dev/lp0:sd=/var/spool/lpd:sh:if=/var/spool/lpd/lp/lp0360:
The 'if=' refers to 'input filter'. lp0360 is a script in the directory
/var/spool/lpd/lp (it could be anywhere). That script detects if the
input looks like postscript and if it is, invokes ghostscript. You
could try something like that. Since my printer is an epson Stylus Color 600,
the script looks something like this:
#!/bin/sh
# ps_or_text_filter.sh
# This is a "magic filter" based on one in the Linux Printing-HOWTO.
# Checks the incoming file for Postscript or text and handles accordingly
read first_line
first_two_chars=`expr "$first_line" : '\(..\)'`
if [ "$first_two_chars" = "%!" ] ; then # Looks like PostScript
/usr/local/bin/gs -q @stc600pl.upp -sOutputFile=- - -c quit
else # It's plain text
echo $first_line # the stuff we grabbed before
cat # ... and the rest
echo -ne \\f # ... and a formfeed
fi
It's based on something somebody provided for me when I asked about
printing postscript on usenet years and years ago.

Subject: Re: Linksys 10/100 PCI NIC
Date: Sat, 21 Oct 2000 09:28:27 -0700
I have it figured out now and the eth0 interface loads successfully. As well
I can ping other machines.There is an instruction missing from their
readme.txt that prevents eth0 from success.
Here is what a person really needs to do:
1) Go to www.linksys.com and download the appropriate driver, in my case the
Linksys LNE100TX Version 4.
2) Unpack it and then open the "Linux" sub-folder. In it you will find the
files "Netdri~1.tgz" and "readme.txt".
3) Read the readme.txt but understand that there is one vital step missing
from the instructions. Unpack the "Netdri~1.tgz" file.
4) There is a "Makefile" file that you must make executable using "chmod +x
Makefile". Run the Makefile with "./Makefile". It will run part way through
and then die a tragic death without completing, but it will show the correct
syntax for building tulip.o and pci-scan.o.
5) Now type the command in manually to build both pci-scan.o and tulip.o.
The readme.txt instructions say absolutely nothing about pci-scan.o but
tulip.o is dependent on it for starting eth0.
6) Copy pci-scan.o and tulip.o to /lib/modules/2.2.5-15/net, (replace
2.2.5-15 with whatever your kernel version is).
7) Now follow the rest of the instructions in the readme.txt, (ie: run
/sbin/depmod -a, then adjust /etc/conf.modules, /etc/sysconfig/network, and
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0).
8) Reboot. Everything works fine and eth0 comes up normally.

why starting httpd do not have these two more processes?
can I get avoid of this ?
the program will output so status to /var/log/message, how should I
control the this output message? can I just redirect this specific
daemon's
output to other place or just ignore.
I know there is kern.*, mail.* stuff, but can I add my own program
in it? for example: myprogram.none
