[SLUG] Kernel compile for RH 7.0 (?Configfest material)

2001-04-20 Thread Paul B. Webster VK2BZC

  I'm getting a bit tired and worn.

  The need is to co-compile a kernel for Win4Lin (2.0) and a Tekram
DC-315/u SCSI card to run a (Panasonic) burner.  All from the lovely
markets which I understand run every Sunday except Christmas/ New
Year.

  System was built as a "workstation" from the RH 7.0 disk(s) (from
Allambie Comp.)  Previous try as "custom" created too many headaches.

  Also, previous re-compile of RH6.0 to the same SCSI hardware (on
another machine - in use to send this) was so easy I expected the
same.

  In general I had to RPM the kernel source (2.2.16-22) from the CD. 
Did so, but then considered this original issue is reputed to be
insecure if not actually buggy, so downloaded the "fix" (2.2.17-14)
from Red Hat.  Installed the Win4Lin and Tekram patches and tried to
compile.  Encountered the problem compiling checksum.h (IIRC) so
investigated and determined to need to bend the Makefile to specify
kgcc under all circumstances.

  This gave me a kernel which would compile, but won't boot.  In fact,
it gets as far as "Now loading the kernel" and does a cold reset.  As
I figure it, this has nothing to do with the CPU type (dropped back
all the way to i386), map file or modules (which I have not made yet).

  Decided on another tack - Assemble the raw 2.2.16-22 kernel and
*then* add Win4Lin and the DC-315/U.  In this case, I get undeclared
somethings in "kstat_irqs" function in kernel_stat.h

  NOW,

  I have just noted searching on that latter include file name, a
reference to glibc.  The Win4Lin notes direct me to the need to update
glibc before trying to install it in RH 7.0, and I have duly
downloaded not the mentioned version glibc 2.1.94 which no longer
exists, but 2.2.12 which replaces it on the mirror.

  As I understand it, glibc 2.1.94 is so far functional on the system
and the 2.2.17-14 kernel at least compiled successfully.

  Before I RPM the upgrades and try yet again on this last tack,
perhaps someone might be able to explain any obvious clues here.  What
is necessary, what is safe, what have I omitted (granted that I made
some other minor/ obvious patches here and there in the process, which
I can't quite recall now)?

[SLUG] Suse 7.1 Live - good for future Installfests ?

2001-04-20 Thread Bill

Yesterday I bought the April edition of Linux Format, with Suse 7.1 Live on
the cover CD.

This distro boots and runs from the CD after installing 4 files (100mb
reqd) into the root directory of your Windows C: drive.

I got it to run perfectly on the second attempt, booting from my SCSI CDRW,
after realising that the hardware detection was hanging whilst checking my
SCSI Orb drive
(had to insert a disk - not the first time with this problem with Orb).

Thought that this distro was worth mentioning to SLUG, as it allows anybody
to try linux without any need to partition Hard Drives etc, and there's not
really much that you can stuff up. The distro even includes the setup of a
personal firewall.
Uninstall only requires deleting 4 "suse" files from C:\

Only problem is inability to update or install programs.

I'd like to "ghost" the CD to an Orb drive, with a second partition to
allow for installatio of other programs, downlads etc.

Can somebody please advise how to copy the CD image to another drive?

Thanks
Bill

Second attempt? What went wrong the first time? Ahhh, it hung. Forget I asked. :-)
Are Orb drives always that finicky about stuff like that? My trusty Zip drive (which 
refuses to eject disks, so i have rip them out) gets probed with no disk and happily 
returns its hardware type.

 Only problem is inability to update or install programs.

What's the problem? You don't know how, or what?

 I'd like to "ghost" the CD to an Orb drive, with a second partition to
 allow for installatio of other programs, downlads etc.

The simplest way i can think of is this:
Figure out which device your CD-ROM is, if it's SCSI it will probably be /dev/scd0.
Next, figure out which device your Orb drive is, it's probably /dev/sd[a..g].
Put a disk in the Orb, and run the following:
dd if=/dev/scd0 of=/dev/sd[what you found the Orb was]
That command just does a data dump directly from the CD to the Orb, nice and simple 
(if you understand Unix devices of course. :-)

You want the gimp for your photo editing. (If its just editing photos
for the web the gimp is great, if its editing photos for print it
might not do everything you want).

For web authoring software I find emacs and html-mode great.

 Actually, I've looked into this myself. Recall that

 jacked up by the weakened dollar. VA are competitive
 once you realise that the dollar does not chose

Yeah sure but when dealing with local companies the
weak dollar is going to be affecting the wholesale
price, not the retail price so its not going to be
*as* bad, but yeah it will still affect them too.

Here is the URL for the LWN article that they badly misquote

http://lwn.net/2001/0419/a/loki-lugs.php3 , which has a bit more

Note shipping is only "domestic" shipping - just a tad higher in cost.
Which would also explain why MacLug hasn't received an email offer.
