You could try putting the code you are timing inside of a for-loop which
executes the timed code maybe 1000 times and then divide the overall time
you get by 1000. True, this only gives you the AVERAGE execution time of
the code sequence within 1000 executions but this average will be fairly
close to what you want since any INDIVIDUAL execution of that code sequence
will always be subject to extraneous influences like cache hits/misses,
memory accesses and the like and so no SINGLE reading will ever be truly
representative of the code sequence anyway. And the overhead of your
little for-loop may become insignificant if the number of iterations is
large enough. Or you could time the "pure" for-loop itself in the same way
and get an "average" overhead value for the for-loop which you could then
deduct from your other timings as an overhead adjustment. In short, there
are a few things you could do.

XFree86 just processes X-events. It doesn't move, place and resize
Xclients, it doesn't include any CORBA-like functionality, it doesn't
control the root window. It just listens for key press/release and mouse
events, and sends them to the client, then the client sends bitmaps or
text back to the server. One can easily run an Xserver *in addition to*
an independent GUI ( such as PC-Xware on win95. PC-Xware is an X-server
running on Win95but isn't the win95 GUI.)
It's a GUI framework, but hardly a GUI.

My experience comes from reading the manpage for mt and trying some of
the instructions with my tape drive. For most of the experiments you
need the non-rewinding tape device since you want to move the tape and
see where you are. Use one mt command to change the settings -- I
think it is stsetoptions -- and then do an mt status to find out what
happened. In recent experiments, it seemed like the setting of
options is not cumulative, so you need to set all the options you want
at one time or the options you don't mention will revert to default.
For more information, look at the source code. There should be some
useful hints there, even if you are not fluent in C. Key definitions
are all in the header file. Of course, the program is only an
interface between you and the tape driver, but you can look at the
source for that also. I think that all that I got out of doing this
was the confidence that my experiments wouldn't do any damage, but
this was worth something.

Perhaps your path doesn't end in ":.". If this is case (it should
be for root access), then you can run a.out by typing "./a.out".
You can append :. to your path statement in .bash_profile.

To INSTALL the caldera version over the old linux is the easiest.
The install program gets to a point of asking you which disk or partition
do you want to install to. Select it graphically & it will prepare the drive.!
Done.

Personally I am disgusted with new RH pricing, and I am going to buy

shouldn't do that. There are quite a few different libraries ( not all
of them backward compatible ) which were updated from 5.2 to 6.0 in
particular the 6.0 is all compiled against the new glibc 2.1 which is
not backward compatible with 2.0. Upgrading is possible but is such a
pain that I would not recomend it to a person who doesn;t know exactly

You should be able to fix it. Normally, IIRC, redhat keeps a copy of
the system map file in /boot. /boot/System.map is a symlink to
/boot/System.map-kernelversion. All you should need to do is to copy
your proper System.map from /usr/src/linux after you compiled the kernel
to /boot/System.map-2.2.whatever and then relink the symlink with
ln -fs /boot/System.map-2.2.whatever /boot/System.map
I'm not sure of the exact name/case of System.map.

It's probably good practice not to use C-A-D as there's no guarantee

You can use a domain name to run any service (standart or propietary)

Difficult to check if you are really using the "site" for something

http://www.dyer.vanderbilt.edu/server/udma/ is your friend! There is a
patch against 2.0.37pre12 which includes support for the Promise Ultra66
(PDC20262). It will probably patch cleanly against 2.0.37 final, if not
it shouldn't be hard to fix.
Also be sure to upgrade to the latest & patched hdparm if you dare to
fiddle with it.

LILO 2.1 ought to understand the ide2/ide3 channels once you've got the
kernel configured happily. If necessary upgrade to a current LILO from
contrib.redhat.com (if there's a package) or metalab.unc.edu.

Please read the documentation! At the least check out the Kernel HOWTO -
http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO.html.
Basically you need to first configure the kernel - I like 'make
menuconfig' for its nice, simple menu interface. Then you must run 'make
dep', and _then_ you can compile the kernel itself in one of a variety
of ways (my preference is 'make bzImage', then I copy the resulting
kernel image into the appropriate location and tweak my LILO config).

Could be a routing problem - run 'route -n' and make sure your ppp
connection is showing up in there. Also double-check that the ppp
network device is up - 'ifconfig ppp0' should give some clues. Check
/etc/resolv.conf to make sure DNS servers are configured.

Use ...

... and ./ is your starting path. If you use nothing it defaults to '.'
and if you specify a full path, then use ...

This is not MS design. You can make any decent OS redundant with clusters.
It's just so hard with NT that MS just recently created this ability.

No the 99.8 % uptime is for this setup. I think for a single machin running NT
nothing better than 98 % is possible. Real OS can do the same with one
machine.

Stupidity can't be helped. If you are stupid, no OS will help you.

IIRC this means that you did not copy System.map to /
after you compiled a new kernel. I don't think it
matters unless you want to convert addresses to
symbols for debugging etc.
