Linux and Fat32?

1997-02-28 Thread Alex Lobkovsky
Hi,
 
Having benefited greatly from this list before, I do not doubt for a 
moment that someone will know the answer to this:
 
Does Linux read/write to the new Win95 Fat32 filesystem?
 
thanks in advance.

Re: xdm woes

Did you make sure that your /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers file has a line

:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X

Re: cdrom problem during installation

1996-12-26 Thread Alex Lobkovsky
I did not have a CD at hand so they way I circumvented the problem was to 
kept opening the CD door until the installation program resumed somehow.

cdrom problem during installation

1996-12-25 Thread Alex Lobkovsky
I had a problem with the Sony CDU 311 CDROM during a floppy 
installation.  The cdrom drive was recognized fine.  During the menu 
driven installation phase, I kept getting messages

hdc: media changed
hdc: media changed
hdc: tray open or drive not ready
hdc: irq timeout : status = 0xd0
hdc: ATAPI RESET complete
hdc: code: 0x70 key: 0x02 asc: 0x53 ascq: 0x00

etc, etc, etc
the cdrom light would keep falshing.

I tried turning the cdrom drive off in the BIOS but it didn't help

What can I do, please help.

Re: Turning off screen blanking?

1996-12-17 Thread Alex Lobkovsky
I think you have to recompile the kernel.  One of the options in the 
character devices section is the apm support, in which you can turn the 
console blanking off.  Alternatively you can use
$ xset s off (look at the xset manpage)

hope this helps,
alex

please help g77 broken

1996-12-16 Thread Alex Lobkovsky
After upgrading to Debian 1.2 g77 is broken.  It says when invoked

gcc: installation problem, cannot exec `f771': No such file or directory

But f771 is in /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/2.7.2/ and is executable by 
everyone.  I have reinstalled gcc and g77 but that did not help.  What am 
I doing wrong.

-many thanks,

Re: ppp problems

1996-12-10 Thread Alex Lobkovsky
I had a similar problem.  It turned out that pppd started the negotiation 
phase too early when the peer had not finished send all the preliminary 
junk.  I fixed it by adding a \d (a timeout of about 1 sec) to the last 
chat transmit.

hope it works
