Well, that's phase one. In phase two the bootstrap procedure will
use the new compiler to compile itself a second time. It'll
probably then do it again a third time to make sure its reached
a limit point.
Don't worry about it. This is a standard bootstrap procedure ..
start with a cross compile and end with a real compiler.

I want to print from RH 6.2 / Acrobat Reader 4.05 on a Star

NOTE: I tried sending this reply last night, but it didn't
seem to get through, so here goes again. My apologies if
you have already received it:
What is so magical about partition 4? Why not use /dev/sdc1?
In any event, I used fdisk to explicitly partitioned the disk
to /dev/sdc4, and I then used mkfs to create an ext2 filesystem
on this device. This did not work, i.e. I could not mount the
disk on both machines (only on the machine on which I formatted
the disk).
I performed the following experiment:
====================================
The Iomega disks come from the factory partitioned as /dev/sdc4
(or /dev/hda4 etc.) and formatted with the FAT32 filesystem.
I can mount such a disk on both machines, but it requires different
mount commands:
[valis#] mount -t auto /dev/sdc /mnt/zip250
[ubic #] mount -t auto /dev/sdc4 /mnt/zip250
On valis I don't need to specify partition 4, while on ubic
I do. This must mean that the machines are configured slightly
differently. Upon booting, the device /dev/hda is associated
with the zip drive. I have two internal SCSI hard drives,
so loading the ide-scsi module turns the zipdrive into /dev/sdc.
The bios options on each machine are the same, as are the
/etc/fstab files (although this is probably not relevant at
the moment). Do you have any suggestions on how I can discover
the differences between valis and ubic?

That depend by the "standard partitioning system". The partition 4
correspond to the entire disk.

I don't see how it would be difficult for a micro-FSD to find a mini-FSD,
which itself is sufficient to find and execute any kernel the user has
configured - based on the file system location.
Granted, I don't see any benefit (yet) beyond increased ease of use (i.e.
changes to a text configuration file are all that's necessary to add or
change kernel locations).

The boot sector is only where code execution begins. With HPFS, the boot
block runs from sector 0 to half of sector 5 of the volume. That's enough
space to implement partial HPFS read capability (no doubt enough only to
find the mini-FSD in the root directory). I haven't looked into the
structure of EXT2, but there's almost certainly enough room for a
micro-FSD.

It's only *slightly* more complicated with Linux. Adding support for
mulitple kernels is the easy part.
Incidentally, mucking with the boot loader of OS/2 is not that uncommon.
We don't have the luxury of source code, but patching can be (and has
been) done to change or increase functionality. The physical location of
the files on the volume isn't an issue, since the micro-FSD will find it
in the file system.
The situation is interesting enough that it might be worth implementing on
Linux.

There was a thread on the subject some days ago, the problem is that
most of the tools (gzip, zip, cat and the like), doesn't support files
bigger than 2Gb, so even if you create that you can't use them.

The best way to resize a Win2k partition is to delete it entirely! Only

Rather than re-partition the disk, it may be possible to use a kernel with
NTFS enabled but I think it is still in experimental stages so be careful!

Ok, I tried that, no luck there. It reported no such device (as there

Why might this have worked, I don't have a second ethernet device?

Disclaimer: I haven't tried these... (-:
I believe if you install the enterprise version of the redhat kernel, it
includes the necessary adjustments for LFS.
For example,
ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.2/en/os/i686/
kernel-enterprise-2.2.17-14-14.i686.rpm
Or... you could try the kernel at
ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.2/en/osEE/i386

Probabily you deleted or renamed the index.html file. Try

Hi Folks;
Solved my problem with
modprobe sound
insmod ad1848
insmod uart401
insmod cs4232 io=0x534 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0 mpuio=0x330
in my '/sbin/init.d/boot.local' file.
Is there a list of documented arguments that can passed to the cs4232
line.
Also, in the 'modules.conf' file , the lines to enable 'ALSA' are '#'
out. Would 'ALSA' have worked if I had removed the '#' from the 'ALSA' lines?

copy of the file is attached and it does show those lines in the ports
section.
Thanks for your help so far!

; This file contains the settings for the printer installation, which you
; edit with the program "spadmin".
; The following line specifies the standard printer. It must be equal to
; one of the lines in the section [devices].
device=Generic Printer,SGENPRT PostScript,default_queue
[devices]
; All printers you can choose in the File/Print dialogue or in the printer
; settings are listed here. You can enter any number of printers.
; The expression separated by a comma (here: default_queue) is a
; user-defined name. There must be a command for this queue name in
; the section [ports]. If you want to print on different queues with the
; same driver you should change the queue name and the name in front
; of the "="-character.
; An example for two queues would be:
; Generic Printer (Queue1)=SGENPRT PostScript,myqueue1
; Generic Printer (Queue2)=SGENPRT PostScript,myqueue2
Generic Printer=SGENPRT PostScript,default_queue
[ports]
; In this section reside the print commands for the queue names.
; The queue name can be user-defined and will be displayed in the print
; dialogues of StarOffice.
; In the following examples "myqueuename" has to be replaced with the
; name which is specified at the printer in the section [devices].
; Example to print to the spooler queue named ps:
; myqueuename=lp -d ps
; Example to print to the BSD printer spooler:
; myqueuename=lpr
; Example to print to file /tmp/print.ps
; myqueuename=cat > /tmp/print.ps
; Example to print to PageView:
; myqueuename=/usr/openwin/bin/pageview - &
default_queue=lpr
;default_queue=lp
[Xprinter,PostScript]
; Here reside the default settings for all printers. To change settings
; for a special driver, you can create a separate section, where the
; same values must be entered. The name for such a special section
; must meet the following format: ["PRINTFILE",PostScript,"QueueName"].
; Example for Generic Printer at the default_queue:
; [SGENPRT,PostScript,default_queue]
;
; The standard paper format for new pages is defined with "PageSize".
;PageSize=A4
PageSize=Letter
;PageSize=Legal
; The alignment for new pages is set with "Orientation".
Orientation=Portrait
;Orientation=Landscape
; With the following settings you can alter the page margin manually.
; All entries must be made in 1/100 mm.
; MarginLeft = left page margin, MarginTop = top page margin,
; MarginRight = right page margin, MarginBottom = bottom page margin
MarginLeft=
MarginTop=
MarginRight=
MarginBottom=
; You can also specify the scale (Scale), the number of copies
; (Copies), the printer resolution (DPI), and the standard
; paper tray (PaperTray):
Scale=1.00
Copies=1
DPI=300

I was faced with the same problem - (along with the unstable glibc).
However, from what I've seen, gcc has only produced unstable results
with certain optimizations turned on (g++, however, is another story
:( ) - so if you compile the source without optimizations, the results
seem to be okay. I took these odds and compiled gcc-2.95.2 (the
then-current version) with RedHat's gcc, and things have worked fine
since.
Micah, anxiously anticipating gcc 3.0
