ELKS and TCP/IP

2000-05-02 Thread Larry Howard Mittman
Is the TCP/IP project totally dead, or is someone still working on it?  I have an AT&T PC6300 just waiting for me to install ELKS on it, but without a TCP/IP stack, it is of limited use to me.  I **really** want to put it back into service!!  Thanks - Larry --  ===

Getting ELKS

1999-10-28 Thread Larry Howard Mittman
I have an old AT&T PC6300. It has 640Kb RAM and a 40Mb RLL Hard drive. The processor is a NEC V20. I would like to use the machine for something other than a oversized door-stop. 1) Will ELKS work on this machine? 2) What do I need to download to get the entire ELKS p

I really don't see where this is a problem. User level processing does not need hardware memory protection; it could be implemented as a strictly software solution. For example, a table defined within the OS giving the user and the level. Then, all memory access could interrogate this table and gi

Re: will it eventually run X

Ken, you are totally missing the point. Yes, Linux with X runs very well on a 486DX or better. Nobody here is disputing that claim. That is the purpose for Slackware, RedHat, Suse, Caldera, etc The reason for being of the ELKS project is to try to port Linux (with any and all apps that can be

Elks Current Status?

1999-02-07 Thread Larry Howard Mittman
I am new to the Elks Project. I have an AT&T PC6300 (8086 clone machine) that I would like to eventually network with my Linux machine. What is the current status of ELKs, how useful is it, and what do I need to do to implement it? I assume I have to at least compile the kernel, but what else? H
