Sorry but his is really funny, you deleted /dev/null, once I read an amusing
aricle somewhere, which stated: For decades UNIX sysadmins had been directing
files to /dev/null an now it would be full...:-)
Honestly, you don't need to recompile your kernel, not even reboot...:-)
you can create a new /dev/null with mknod
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 Jun 24 2000 /dev/null
mknod --mode=0666 /dev/null c 1 3
Should do the trick...:-)
It is a good thing he discovered the error. Imagine if he did not. The
first person with sufficient permission might do {run process that
produces infinite output} /dev/null and that would create an
ordinary file there.

Jean-David, you are using the wrong delimiter for your signature - you

I know, but I cannot do anything about it. Seems to be a bug in Netscape,

"ld: unrecognized option `-qmagic'" means that you should get a newer
linker, from ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/packages/GCC/, in the file
binutils-2.8.1.0.1.bin.tar.gz.
6.12. How Do I Make a Shared Library?
For ELF,
$ gcc -fPIC -c *.c
$ gcc -shared -Wl,-soname,libfoo.so.1 -o libfoo.so.1.0 *.o
For a.out, get tools-n.nn.tar.gz from
tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/packages/GCC/src/. It comes with
documentation that will tell you what to do. Note that a.out shared
libraries are a very tricky business. Consider upgrading your
libraries to ELF shared libraries. See the ELF HOWTO, at
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/
6.13. My Executables Are (Very) Large.
With an ELF compiler ("What's All This about ELF? glibc?"), the most
common cause of large executables is the lack of an appropriate .so
library link for one of the libraries you're using. There should be a
link like libc.so for every library like libc.so.5.2.18.
With an a.out compiler the most common cause of large executables is
the -g linker (compiler) flag. This produces (as well as debugging
information in the output file) a program which is statically
linked--one which includes a copy of the C library instead of a
dynamically linked copy.
Other things worth investigating are -O and -O2, which enable
optimization (check the GCC documentation), and -s (or the strip
command) which strip the symbol information from the resulting binary
(making debugging totally impossible).
You may wish to use -N on very small executables (less than 8K with
the -N), but you shouldn't do this unless you understand its
performance implications, and definitely never with daemons.
6.14. Does Linux Support Threads or Lightweight Processes?
As well as the Unix multiprocessing model involving heavyweight
processes, which is of course part of the standard Linux kernel, there
are several implementations of lightweight processes or threads.
Recent kernels implement a thread model, kthreads. In addition, there
are the following packages available for Linux.
* GNU glibc2 for Linux has optional support for threads. The archive
is available from the same place as glibc2,
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/
* In sipb.mit.edu:/pub/pthread/ or
ftp.ibp.fr:/pub/unix/threads/pthreads. Documentation isn't in the
package, but is available on the World Wide Web at
http://www.mit.edu:8001/people/proven/home_page.html. Newer Linux
libc's contain the pthreads source. The GNU Ada compiler on
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/devel/lang/ada/gnat-3.01-linux+el
f.tar.gz contains binaries made from that source code.
* In ftp://ftp.cs.washington.edu:/pub/qt-001.tar.Z is QuickThreads.
More information can be found in the technical report, available
on the same site is /tr/1993/05/UW-CSE-93-05-06.PS.Z.
* In gummo.doc.ic.ac.uk/rex/ is lwp, a very minimal implementation.
* In ftp://ftp.cs.fsu.edu:/pub/PART/, an Ada implementation. This is
useful mainly because it has a lot of Postscript papers that
you'll find useful in learning more about threads. This is not
directly usable under Linux.
Please contact the authors of the packages in question for details.
6.15. Where Can I Get lint for Linux?
Roughly equivalent functionality is built into GCC. Use the -Wall
option to turn on most of the useful extra warnings. See the GCC
manual for more details (type F1-i in Emacs and select the entry for
GCC).
There is a freely available program called lclint that does much the
same thing as traditional lint. The announcement and source code are
available at on ftp://larch.lcs.mit.edu/pub/Larch/lclint/; on the
World Wide Web, look at
http://larch-www.lcs.mit.edu:8001/larch/lclint.html.
6.16. Where Can I find Kermit for Linux?
Kermit is distributed under a non-GPL copyright that makes its terms
of distribution somewhat different. The sources and some binaries are
available on ftp://kermit.columbia.edu.
The WWW Home Page of the Columbia University Kermit project is
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/.
6.17. I Want to Use Linux with My Cable Modem.
The www.CablemodemInfo.com and xDSL Web page at
http://www.cablemodeminfo.com/ has a section devoted to Linux.
6.18. Is There an ICQ Program That Runs under Linux?
Several ICQ clients are available on metlab.unc.edu. (See Where can I
get Linux material by FTP? .) ICQ itself does not have a Linux client,
but there is a Java client at http://www.mirabilis.com/download/.

I understand your frustration. The Compaq comes with a weird
Windows which will not work on another computer.
It's the same OEM Win9x that all other manufacturers use. The difficulty
with these machines isn't Windows itself, but in the drivers needed to get
everything working. The big boys often use "tweaked" hardware for which
standard drivers from a chipset manufacturer's website might not work, and
some of them don't provide drivers on their own websites. (IBM is usually
pretty good about supplying drivers, but Compaq is hit-or-miss, especially
with Presarios.)
I found out (much to my chagrin, that a format, then install a "normal"
Windows, it does not work.
I nuked a Presario 305 recently and put a normal Win98 install on it. I had
to go to other companies' websites to find drivers for the modem (Lucent),
video controller (ATI), and audio (ESS chipset, but they didn't have the
driver...found a driver that worked at Toshiba's website, of all places).
It works better now than when it was originally purchased...got rid of all
the extra crap that Compaq preloads on its computers.
(Of course, the best approach would've been to put Linux on it, but this
wasn't my computer. :-) )
I believe there is something in the BIOS which detects the presence of the
HP version of Windows.
There's nothing of the sort. I don't think I've run across a computer yet
that's so brain-damaged that it won't take a standard Win9x install. (I had
to install Win95 before Win98 on a notebook once to get support for its
goofball IDE controller, though.)
For what they're intended to do, the restore disks provided by HP, Compaq,
et al. work OK. There is more than one way to get Win9x (or Linux or
[insert your favorite OS]) running, though, just as there's more than one
way to flay a feline. :-) It just takes some experimentation on the trickier
setups.

lately I tested 2.2.11 on my machine. 2.2.10 runs without problems on this
computer. However in 2.2.11 the scsi support for the ADAPTEC Controller AIC7
seems tohave changed. I have a Adaptex 7890 controller and the kernel does not
run with it any longer. When booting the scsi controller ist found and the
correct number of devices (a harddisk and a cdrom) are found but then it reports
only timeouts for the disk when it tries to continue the bootprocess. The
messages are similar (sinve the machine does not boot I cannot provide the exact
messages:

Subject: BT878 sound problems
Date: 11 Aug 1999 09:45:41 GMT
Trying to make this concise-
I have an AverMedia TV98(BT878/Philips NTSC tuner), kernel 2.2.10, bttv
drivers 0.6.4e (although the included bttv drivers in 2.2.10 have the same
problem). When I try to use xawtv, I get a fine picture, but no sound. I'm
installing the bttv module with "card=10 radio=0" and have uncommented
"-D_RESET_MSP_HAUPPAUGE" in the Makefile. The msp3400 patch has been applied.
I have tried setting "mixer = mixer" is .xawtv and trying all of the values
I get from the error message, but none of them work. All that happens is that
I get static and popping noises from my speakers after I load the modules
but before I run xawtv. When I do run xawtv, the static and popping either
stop or get very faint. I can hear the TV sound very faintly in the background.
When I type dmesg, it appears that all the modules are loading without
problems. I cannot, for the life of me, figure this problem out. This is
the most trouble I have EVER had getting a piece of hardware to work with
Linux, and I've been using Linux for years

Does anyone here know where I can find a printer driver for an NEC

Chocolate "New to Linux" Moose
Check "ghostscript" and ask again if it doesn't have the driver ...

I'm trying to access the net with Caldera Open Linux 5.2. I have set up kppp to
call and log in to my isp (I can do it either as 'script-based' or PAP). This

the kppp setup, but when I try to ping anything other than localhost, ping just
hangs.
If you actually mean COL2.2 instead of 5.2, then if you used a theme
to set up your desktop, I suggest that you create a new account and
don't use any themes. That was the only way I could get Kppp to work
reliably. Another option is to update to KDE v. 1.1.1 which also
seemed to work quite a bit better than v.1.1. However, I found COL2.2
to be completely unreliable and swapped it for SuSE 6.1 which is
vastly superior in stability IMO.
Yes, COL 2.2 is correct. I didn't fool with the desktop at all yet; I wanted to
get the basic stuff to work first.

According to Dan, even companies doing $2 CD's count as "commercial use"
of his code, ignoring that the $2 CD's are loss leaders to get sales on
books, t-shirts, stuffed penguins, etc, and that the $50 distributions
are selling the support, the pretty box and 'convenience' of buying it
from a bookstore not the software at all.
I agree with Dan on the last point. THere's no way someone isn't making money
off the $50 distributions, unless they are grossly incompetant.

I think there is/were multiple distributions of a program called "microemacs".
Would be nice to find out definitively where the OS9 variant comes from.
