(Someone Please reply to this message so I can see if the Gateway is
working right or not :-)
I have a few questions/problems with Linux...but first here is my config:
Linux 0.98p1-37 SLS Distrib
486DX 25 mhz
8 Meg Ram
40 meg MFM (ST251-1)
ATI Vga Wonder w/512k
Nec Multisync II
1) I constantly get lock-ups of the whole system, whether I'm using it
or not, it just freezes? Any ideas or anyone else having this problem?
2) How to you tell Getty that a tty is bi-directional? So that I can have
a dial-in line and use minicom when its free. Getty presently changes
the permissions on the ttys? and does not change them back, I have to
do it manually to use minicom once I take the ttys? out of my inittab.
3) Where is the file LIBTERMLIB.A or where can I get it? I have a few
files that want it, such as Broken Throne... :-)
4) Can anyone recommend a good BBS program so I can toss my Dos bbs!
I have PBBS, but it needs TCP and lots of disk space!
5) This is the most important question...Has anyone ported EMPIRE to Linux?
If and when you do....let us know!!!!
6) Who do I get in touch with to get a Usenet feed for my sys? I am a
little sick of the Gateways...and they cost $$$
7) How do I install the 0.98 p3 patch? I'm not ready to fumble through
a kernel re-compile just yet! :-)
Thanks Guys !!!
Tim
P.S. To who ever is distributing the SLS, do you have a Dial-up line so I
can keep us over here in Ontario up to date?
