Proof positive that linux is very efficient on an 8Meg machine!

To take better advantage of that extra RAM, you may want to investigate
the "-j" flag for make..  For example, try:     make -j 15

funny you should ask this.  i just uploaded a program that's just this.
it's based on something i got from a friend (don't know the real name,
really it's a shell script) and i jazzed it up using dialog.  it's
at sunsite.unc.edu://pub/Linux/Incoming/Rsh.
if you don't want the color version (also works w/ a VT100), bug

Try Radio Shack.  They have some foam-tipped q-tips just like you mentioned.
But, it might be worthwhile to eventually get a cleaning tape.  Sometimes the
roller gets dirty and (perhaps) slips, which would of course cause errors.  Also,
it is very difficult to clean the head in the direction of the tape while 
holding the tape drive door open.

Yes. Transfer rates and stability will be quite poor as compared

This is you best choice, IMHO. Unfortanately the are more expensive
than the cheap 120 MB floppy drives.

You didn't say how much data you need to backup... you might be
able to find an older 520(?) MB QIC streamer for a reasonable price
(check the misc.forsale.computers.* newsgroups and page through
Computer Shopper). For larger capacities I like DAT drives because
the media is so cheap (~$10 a tape).

I recently bought a WangDAT 3400DX (DDS-2 DAT drive) though the
net for $850 (I can give anyone the name of the fellow if they
are interested). This drive is quite fast (usually around 30MB/min)
and a single tape (120m) can hold 4 gigabytes. You can still read/
write regular DDS-1 (DAT) tapes.

>3.) Will a tape drive be able to back up everything?  Another
>words, if I back up everything, can I redo the partitions and

There is a driver for the floppy-tape drives for Linux that some
people have had success with, but it wouldn't work at all with
an old CMS 60MB drive.

For SCSI drives, you can use the GTAK package for OS/2 and for
DOS (I have had mixed results with it, but it basically works)
and for Linux you can just use 'tar' and 'mt'.

I also have Fastback/2 which works for SCSI drives... it
works great except after viewing a large "history" file when
I try to close it the  WPS shell CPU-useage jumps up to %100
for about 5 mins... eventually it does fully relinquish the
WPS but the system is unuseable during the period . I haven't
called Symantec tech support yet so there might be a fix/work-
around.

Both GTAK and Fastback/2 can work off of boot floppies (and
Linux tar/mt, too) so you can do a full restore after rearranging
your disks (for OS/2 just remember to put 'sysinstx.com' on
your floppy to make the OS/2 system partition bootable).

Cheers,
Tom

Hi there, does any one out there use an ATI Vga Wonder video card with X?
Mine works fine except that when you quit X, the screen is all corrupted and you can't
see the characters anymore.  All you see is a bunch of vertical lines accros the screen.
It uses the 18800-1 (I think) chip and it has 512k of memory, thanx

If you do not much else than compiling a kernel 8 MB is more than enough.
I tried the following experiment: compile the kernel from the console takes
about 11 minutes on my system (486/66 with 8M). Start X, compile kernel in an
Xterm and use another Xterm for a telnet connection. This added about 1 minute
to my kernel compile time. Linux seems to have swapped out much of the X code.
If I would have used several big X applications at the same time, the system
would almost have come to a standstill due to heavy trashing.

stable (sometimes more stable) than a number of the other 5000 machines

And thanks also to the linux community who have been almost always

No, it's that people who get the S3 do so for X, and consequently there isn't

Likewise.  I would suspect that most people with S3 cards boot into xdm, and

Try contacting S3...  (The chipset itself isn't really called "S3", it's the
86Cxxx series from S3.)

There is no such thing as a 250MB SCSI tape drive... but there is a 150MB tape
drive, and there are extended length tapes (DC6250) that get 250MB on a 150MB
drive.  If you look around, you can find the 150MB drives reasonably priced; I
bought mine last year for $125.  Granted, I cheated and got it at the Dayton
HamVention :-) but you can find deals at any time if you look.  Used 150s
should be pretty available, since they'll have been replaced by 525, 1gig,
2gig, DAT, or 8mm (Exabyte) drives.

Subject: Support for modem based on IBM's MWAVE chip???
Date: Tue, 14 Jun 1994 19:17:35 GMT


Could anybody tell me if there is work being done to support modems
based on DSP chips, such as the MWAVE chip from IBM?  I purchased one
of the first 'ACE' modems from Best Data Products Corp..  This Voice-
mail/modem/fax modem board is based on the MWAVE chip.  The card works
great in a windows environment, no drivers exist yet for solely DOS
usage, and I'm pretty sure that support under linux does not exist
either.

Please let me know if anyone has knowledge of either a similar situation,
or of a possible soloution.

Thanks in advance,
