Why worry about catching it at all if he/she is sys admin?  They can just

Entirely fair my foot. Show me a disk that can install basic OS/2 on
your hard drive without inserting anither disk. Linux base is one disk.
X is an addon app. Emacs is entriley unnecessary. OpenLook is unneeded.
I don't know much about perl and sc but I've been using Linux for a few
months and haven't run into them once,... so...

Unless your answer is correct in each detail it invokes hopes for hundreds of
SLIP/PPP users that will not be fullfilled. I've seen lots of posts like "Why
is my local net unable to reach the outside world via my SLIP/PPP-connected
box?" Of course it is possible to use a Linux box as a gateway using SLIP/PPP

BUT THIS ONLY WORKS IF YOUR DOMAIN IS REGISTERED TO THE INTERNET!

You have to buy the permission for a Class-C-network from a provider. Getting
one Internet address for your gateway will not allow you to connect your local
network to the Internet!

  Drat it!

  I was on my way here to solicit interesting suggestions about fun things
I could do now that I had 'term' installed on both my box at home and on
my internet-access provider's machine, but I happened to check my mail
first and I found a letter from my internet-access provider, informing me
that I was not allowed to use 'term' on their computer. 

  Now I am wondering about possible alternatives.

  Specifically, I am wondering if anyone is (yet) offering a completely
Linux-based internet-access service that would, subject to appropriate
limits, allow me to do thinks like use Gnu 'term'. 

  Thanks.

Date: Wed, 29 Jun 1994 14:09:02 GMT

Hello

I have a setting in my cmos, it says enable or disable CHIPAWAY VIRUS.

I use OS/2 boot manager to boot LILO from /dev/hda6. When this 
chipaway virus is enable and I boot LILO (or should I say Linux)
it tells me that I have a boot sector virus (the BIOS tell this).
If I boot from drive a: (using lilo) then everything goes smooth.
The are displayed after it says:"LILO loading..."

I wondered if there is somethings wrong with the boor sector on that 
partition or is this simply lilo thats causing some problem. disable 
everything goes smooth. 

Thanks

Keywords: Dosemu real basic questions

Hiyall:

I'm fairly new to linux and have been trying to set up my system withing
the limits imposed by a small hard disk and not much experience. One thing
has got me stumped is dosemu. I've checked the howto's - both at sunsite and
in usr/doc on Yggdrasil's cd. I've read various posts in this and c.o.l.h
about dosemu problems, but I can't get a handle on it. I've got the Yggdrasil
P&P Summer '94 cd, and that includes the dosemu directory, the libdosemu file and the dos binary. I understand about creating a mount directory for the dos
partition - /dev/hda1 - and mounting dos, but I can't put these pieces together
to try it out. Could some kind soul post a few basic suggestions on how to get
dosemu up and running? Posting here might be best 'cuase the mailer at my
site ain't working. Thanks a bunch. (flames to the clueless and rtfm's will
be accepted as well:).

Date: Wed, 29 Jun 1994 04:10:13 GMT

Hi.

For some reason, if I reply to a message, either in News (Forward) or any
mail package, it will not be sent.  If I write news or mail normally, it
works just fine.  The problem only occurs if it is a reply or a forwarded
message.  This never happens if I just mail things directly.

When this happens, I get this in my /usr/spool/smail/log/logfile:  (Here are
a couple of examples, because it varies between using smail/smail,
smail/sendmail, and sendmail/smail.  In each case, I replied to a message,
which failed, and then I wrote the message manually, which went through
without a hitch.)

Subject: PAS16 - alternate oscillator?
Date: 29 Jun 1994 07:02:24 GMT

I have a PAS16 which I am trying to get to work with Linux.  I have one
of those "defective" OSC signals, so under DOS I have to use the T:1
option in the mvsound driver.  This tells it to use the 28.224MHz
frequency oscillator/2 instead of the system oscillator clock.  Is there
any way to cause Linux to do the same.  I have looked in the pas.h
file in the sound driver part of the kernel (v 1.1.23) and I see
lines that seem to describe what I am talking about, but I have no idea
how or if I can make use of them.  Any help would be much appreciated.

Maybe it doesn't matter to you, but the support for anything *except* X is
pretty poor for the Actix cards.  I was really disappointed to find poor or
no support for DOS (although GRX does a good job), Windows (the S3 drivers
cause *printing* problems!), and svgalib (no S3 at all).  I hope the
situation will improve, but for now it's pretty bad.  Does anyone have any
recommendations for a card with better support?

It was 21.

There were something like 25 for early copies of 2.1, but that was reduced
to 20 by using better compression.

Now that is just part of the truth, there is more to add. (Right sparc 10 
owners?!)

So that's A LOT of porting seen the way SUN stops supporting models after 
1 year. "HELP: linux 2.1.15 hangs my optical mouse on IPX but not on 3/260"


Same applies to Power-pc's in a smaller scale. (2,3,4 models... so far.)
Torsvald, the man who dared, still has those hesitations.

While Intel based PC always tried to stay compatible with their best 
model.. The 8088.  The one design that should have died when the 386 came 
out, but no!  They said I was Mad... hahahahahhah !!!  
Now we live in the carboard made floppy drive aera so that they can say 
"$20 only !" ... look at those IDE controllers I used to trash every 6 
months, those stupid conflicts like a ship taking water during long travels.

Why did you dropped my old faithfull Apple II, gods of the silicon?!

I'll never be happy anyways. :>

Gives them a RISC, they will find a way to run emm386 on it.

Subject: Did Xconfig fry my monitor? (Posting for a friend)

=======================================================
Hi everyone!

I need some information.

I set up the Slackware 1.2.0 installation of Linux on
my Gateway2000 4DX2-66V a month and a half ago. I have
a Gateway2000 Rocket Video Adapter and a CrystalScan
monitor. I had X up and running for around 2 weeks,
then recently the monitor (or video card, I'm not sure
which) started to lose horizontal sync on me. 

The first sign was my display square under MS-Windows
started to shake horizontally. This effect showed up
in text mode and in X too on occasion. At this point,
I stopped using X until I had sorted it out. The next
day the shaking got worse and the day after that I lost
horizontal sync entirely.

The pixels are in the right place vertically, but they
dance around the entire horizontal axis. Occasionally,
I get a coherent screen but not for long.

I've come up with a few possible reasons for this and
I'd appreciate it if someone could point out the most likely
one (or rule any of these out)

1. I set up my video mode in Xconfig incorrectly. I don't
   know what the symptoms for this would be, but I thought
   I'd know immediately. I've been running X for two weeks.
2. My hardware may have been defective.
3. The recent heat wave in the North-East may have messed it
   up.

Anyway, I'd like to get this sorted out before I make any
more tries with X. Has anyone out there fried their monitors
because of X? What were the symptoms etc.? Anyone else have
any advice?

Thanks in advance to all who take the trouble to reply.
Please mail me at shantanu@ee.cornell.edu or reply on this
newsgroup.
