Re: Multiprise 2000

2003-07-31 Thread Guillermo Freige
You don't need a port to run linux in a 2003. Just use a Linux for S/390 distro.
I'm running an old Marist distribution in a 2003-206 under VM in a LPAR, and now
I'm defining a second LPAR with VM and will try to run a couple of images of
RedHat  Enterprise 3 to test it.

That's true, only Win 3.0 in Real Mode was supported in 8088. I've used to run
in this mode in my old 8088 with a 8bit VGA card before upgrading to a 386. It
works SLO :). Even the calculator!. I think if you want to run some Windows
in a 8088, Windows 2.0 is a better choice. I can't remember if PageMaker (Aldus,
not Adobe yet) used to run in RealMode in Win2.0. Of course Windows 1 runs fine
(I have a copy in 5 1/4 disk somewhere here) but it's plain awful :)

Re: SSH instead of TELNET - In regards to S/390 ----> Linux

2002-11-12 Thread Guillermo Freige
There is a partially working port in SG24-5944 Redbook, "Open Source Software
for z/OS and OS/390 UNIX". I think the code isn't included in the tar file
because of copyright problems, but the OpenSSH and OpenSSL chapter describes all
the modifications to the code to obtain a working SSH. It only works for V1
protocol, and only for SSH and SCP of text files, because of limitations of the
SSH protocol and the ASCII/EBCDIC conversions.

Re: Cloning i386 Hard Drives - Like DDR

2002-08-14 Thread Guillermo Freige

Michael:
To avoid filesystem corruption, reboot your linux in Single mode
(Linux (or your profile) S in the LILO boot prompt).
This will start your linux with only the / fs mounted in RO.
Make the dd to the destination disk in this mode, and all will work ok.

Guillermo Freige.

Re: Attempting patches after Linux/390 Crash

2002-08-14 Thread Guillermo Freige

If the text is literal, the problem is:
you forget the < in the second command, and it waits for text from the standard
input.
