Subject: I installed linux... From: cwilder@eis.calstate.edu (Charlotte Wilder) Date: Wed, 28 Apr 1993 06:06:58 GMT
Well, I installed Linux using SLS v1.01 with XFree v1.2.
I have a 486/66 VLB system with 32 megabytes RAM and a 100MB Linux
ex2fs partition (no swap).
Bugs I have noticed (that I can recall at this time):
1) When I configured my printer (HP DJ550C) in /etc/printcap and
tried to add ":fs#020:" (translate LF to CR-LF) nothing changed...
lpr continued to send LF's only, I had to manually create a filter
using "of" that translated the LF's...
2) In my /etc/fstab file, I originally had:
/dev/hda1 /user/dosc msdos defaults
/dev/hdb1 /user/dosd msdos defaults
/dev/hdb2 / ext2 defaults
none /proc proc defaults
and I called "mount -av" in my /etc/rc file, but the two msdos
filesystems didn't get mounted... the problem fixed itself when
I edited my /etc/fstab and rearranged it so that /dev/hda1 and
/dev/hdb1 were defined AFTER /dev/hdb2... odd
Questions:
1) How do I set up my modem to accept incomming calls into the system?
Does Linux support high baud rate modems? (ie: DTE rates of
57600 bps and RTS/CTS flow control)
Experiences with X:
I have a Diamond Stealth VLB SVGA card with 1 meg on board. The
X386 server for Xfree didn't work (as expected), I tried getting
the XS3 0.4.4 server and that worked at 640x480 (mode 25) but
the screen wasn't getting refreshed correctly. I finally resorted to
using the X386mono server at 640x480 which works fine, but not very
pretty :(.
Hmm... nothing else I can think of at this moment, but I got to admit
that the system is pretty nice.
