And you can read your news while you do that - save some more time. And

But on the other hand, those with term are more likely to use Mosaic, and

I remember reading a few years ago about a guy who had just finished 
installing a 386 version of Unix (took him a while), and needed to boot up DOS 
for something quick.  The boot disk he had overwrote the MBR, and boot sector 
of the hard drive or something like that.   He lost the whole Unix system.

Definitely, do *NOT* buy ISA if you want decent performance.  Either
VLB or PCI will be significantly faster and less demanding on your
system.  ISA is *old* -- avoid it.

The PCI NCR controllers are fine, I'm sure.  But you must remember
these are dumb controllers.  I.e. the CPU has to process all the
information going into and out of the system -- the SCSI chip simply
converts the information into signals on the SCSI bus.  While it's
doing this, it can't be doing anything else, meaning your CPU is tied
up for the duration of the SCSI transaction.  You get what you pay
for.

The other alternative would be something like a BusLogic VLB (bt445s)
or PCI (bt946c) SCSI controller.  These controllers have a CPU right
on the board and do all the work themselves.  Consider it the SCSI
equivelant of an accelerated video board.  In other words, the CPU
issues a SCSI command, puts the waiting process to sleep, goes and
does some other things while the SCSI controller moves a bunch of
stuff around, and goes and services the completed transaction once the
SCSI controller finishes and interrupts the CPU.

This may not look any faster on a disk benchmark on an otherwise idle
system, but it will improve overall system performance greatly on a
busy system.  A PCI controller would be better than a VLB one here,
but either would be much better than ISA.

This is all assuming that Linux actually allows the CPU to do other
work while a smart SCSI controller is active.  I know this works
correctly under NetBSD and FreeBSD, which of course I would recommend
over Linux. ;-)  But either way, these are things to keep in mind when
evaluating SCSI controllers.

Subject: Async IO? Where is I_SETSIG, O_ASYNC.....
Date: 7 Jul 1994 11:08:58 -0700

Hi.

I'm trying to do some socket IO between a lisp process and
a bunch of children xwindows.  It's essential that the lisp
process be notified asynchronously of pending input from
a socket.

I've tried to set up async IO in two ways and both fail.
The first involves setting a signal handler for SIGIO,
using fcntl, and setting a fd flag to FASYNC or O_ASYNC, 
neither of which are defined.

The second way involves trying to set a SIGPOLL signal handler 
and then use ioctl like this:

ioctl(sock,I_SETSIG,S_INPUT) ;

but neither the compiler nor I can find I_SETSIG or S_INPUT.
FASYNC and O_ASYNC also don't exist, although O_SYNC does,
with a comment saying it isn't implemented yet.

so, the $64,000 question:

??? how does one do asynchronous IO in linux ?????

Any help would be tremendously appreciated.

Please email replies to me at mharm@gizmo.usc.edu

cheers,

There is nothing wrong with the finger protocol. The problem was a
badly implemented fingerd (it was using gets() to read from stdin,
an absolute no-no). I guess that every vendor fixed its fingerd
since then, so this not a reason to disable fingerd in /etc/inetd.conf,
any more (but there are other reasons, especially for slightly
paranoid sysadmins :-).

The slackware distribution is to my knowledge in the directory slakware,
the a,ap etc directories are from the previous distribution and should be
gone.

Looking at your mail address you might want to try a site closer to you:
        src.doc.ic.ac.uk:/packages/linux/slackware
        ftp.twi.tudelft.nl:/pub/Linux/Slackware

I know these two sites are correct, look at the MIRROR file to see if there

Date: 7 Jul 1994 19:06:38 GMT


        I am unfamiliar with using gcc and gdb and I am having trouble
compiling C programs with gcc v2.5.8.  The C code originally came from an
Iris Indigo, which uses the MIPs ucode C compiler.  Under Linux, these programs
compile without error messages without using any flags on the command line.
On running the program, I get a segmentation fault right away and no core file 
is generated.  When I run the program under gdb v4.8, I get the following error
message:

        Program received signal 11, Segmentation fault
        0x3a66 in __libc_init () 

        I am running Linux from SLS 1.00 on a 486-50DX.  Is there a quick fix to
my problem?  Is there a way for me to generate a core file when the program 
crashes, so that I can try to figure out what's going on?  Thanks in advance.

I have a AMD 486 DX2-66 which fails running ghostscript (both under DOS and
Linux) and I think I have a FP problem with one of the pgplot demo's
(pgplot is a nice graphics package which is easy to use from withing 
 fortran and/or C programs). I just bought my computer about 2 months ago,
but no telling about how old the chip is of course.
At least it seems that there are still problems with the AMD chips

I have also an AMD 486DX2-66... with problems. It fails to run ghostscript
both under DOS and LINUX. Furthermore I get an FP error running one of the
pgplot demo's (fortran graphics routine package) which is probably related
to the ghostscript problems. Apart from that it works great! 

I would be interested in hearing from others with the AMD 486/66 if they
are succesfull in running ghostscript! 

Let's hear it boys (and girls of course)

Reply-To: d70@nikhefh.nikhef.nl (Bram Bouwens)

My setup: a 486 PCI machine, NCR53c810 adapter,
          SCSI-2 disk virtually 1010 c x 17 h x 62 s
             - 195 cylinders MSDOS
             -  39 cylinders Linux swap
             - remaining Linux native.
          LILO boot sector

I tried to install Windows for Workgroups 3.11; after that, I
couldn't boot anything from the disk anymore: it restarted over
and over again.

What happened: Windows had bitten off 6 sectors of the DOS-
partition and copied LILO there, and overwritten the boot sector.
As Drew Eckhardt pointed out, the ending of this partition was
used by the NCR BIOS to determine the geometry, so it now appeared
as 1024 x 17 x 56. The problem is solved by booting from a Linux
floppy, changing the first partition back and running LILO again.

So if you install anything, especially from Micro$oft: have your
emergency floppy at hand, and keep a (paper) record of your
partition table!

It's the one shipped as default on newer Gateway 486 systems.

Any hints would be greatly appreciated.
