One Simple Question

Well... There's C, assembly, BASIC, fortran and forth on almost every linux
distro (to name but a few), I dunno about cobol though.
So it looks like some people still dabble in forth (otherwise, the forth
compiler wouldn't still be updated)

Thanks for the help :O) and a question

All linux programs will work with all distributions of linux, with one
caveat. The binary versions are compiled against specific library sets
common to the distribution they were compiled against, so downloading a
mandrake rpm and trying to run it on, say, a red hat or linspire machine
might cause you a few headaches as different versions of the libraries are
required.

If you get the version compiled against YOUR specific distribution, or get
the source code and compile it yourself, it'll work no matter what
distribution you're on as long as you have all the required libs and
development files installed.

What is the best partition type for OS X, Win2k, Sparc (solaris) and Linux?

Multiboot partitioning questions

Posted: 16 Jun 2004 04:43 AM PDT

In comp.os.linux.setup, Mark P uttered these immortal words:
 

That's exactly the reason. At best, everytime lilo.conf changes, you'd have
to re-run LILO, copy the boot sector to floppy (or where ever), reboot to
Windows, copy the boot sector to the Windows partition and reboot again if
you want to go back to Linux.

Of course that assumes you want NTFS partitions for Windows. The only reason
I can think of for using FAT32 is so Linux can read and write to the
partition. It's better to use NTFS and just have a small FAT32 partition
just for data shared between Windows and Linux.

w2k is a fine, fine OS and in some ways more desirable than XP (home

Diff. between distr. (acc. graphics)

Posted: 14 Jun 2004 05:55 PM PDT

Davide Bianchi <net> wrote in message news:<de>... 

Oh, and did I mention I'm sort of a beginner with X11, Debian and
Linux in general? ;)
So, recompile what sources using what make-file, putting the modules
in what directory?
 

Yeah, I've been surfing on linux-laptop.net/tuxmobil.org the last few
days. These are my experiences:

* There is one report in english/german (there is two additional ones
in spanish (one for the 1353XC), but unfortunately I don't read
spanish although I did try babelfish on a sentencer here and there :))
from a person who has the same computer model as I (Acer 1353 LC). The
writer says:
"The VIA KM/KN400 is supported by the vesa driver of XFree86 4.x. In
XFree86 4.4 the via driver fully support this chip."
This would mean that I need XFree86 4.4 to be able to use the via
driver (and get accelerated graphics), right?

* By following a link from one of the spanish reports (I can read
those!) I ended up at http://unichrome.sourceforge.net/. A bit down on
that page there's a link called "Build" where it says:
"Contains various documentation and scripts useful for building
unichrome code for various distributions. This is currently limited to
the debian xfree86-4.3.0 branch."
This is the dist. and the XF86-version I'm running. So I looked at the
README you get to if you follow the "Build"-link. There it says:
"The xfree86 via driver works quite well on xfree86 4.3, so it is no
problem
dragging it into this and loading it for xfree86 4.3."
This sounds optimistic, saying that I can use 4.3 (since 4.4 isn't
supported by debian and won't be so, since they've chosen to go with
x.org). However, it still seems like I have to rebuild from source
(which will probably just get me into trouble), and then build the
driver separately. There are some source files along with an
"Imake"-file to get by downloading the "unichrome-X-r20.tar.gz" from
the project's file section. I guess this is the source for the driver.
However, I don't know what to do with the Imake-file.
There is a "Unichrome Mini-Howto" at
http://sourceforge.net/docman/?group_id=102048
But if you scroll down to "Checking out and installing the via driver"
in the Mini-Howto, it says:
"Make sure you have a build tree of XFree 4.4 or later, which has been
built once so all object files etc. are there. "
So, now I suddenly need 4.4?

* I could just download
http://downloads.viaarena.com/drivers/video/KN_KM400/km400xf40039.zip,
(which I did), but as I wrote in my first msg, this easy-to-use
solution that (from what I understand) just includes running the
vinstall-stuff and making a minor change in XF86Config, only supports
Mandrake, Red Hat, SuSE and Fedora. So for this to work, I need to
know differences between different distributions or I'm bound to screw
things up :)

* On http://flaez.ch/dab/aspire_1315lm.html, there's some good info
for the 1315LM (which seem to have the same graphics as my 1353LC). I
tried downloading the "xf43sav-27t.tgz" from
http://www.probo.com/timr/savage40.html#download, and just copying the
one and only file that comes with the package, savage_drv.o to the
directory /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers, as described on the
probo-page. I then put these lines in the Device-section in
XF86Config-4:
Driver "savage"
Option "DPMS"
Option "XaaNoMono8x8PatternFillRect"
Option "UseBIOS" "no"
as described on the flaez.ch-page. However, after these changes, I got
the error message when trying to run startx from the prompt saying "no
screens found".

So, I don't really know what to do. There are several paths that can
be taken, none without problems (big problems for a beginner) ;)
I've spent quite a few hours on this already, but it means so much to
have accelerated graphics. The alternative is changing distribution or
going back to fulltime winxp, but I really like my debian system and
most of things work pretty good now, except graphics acceleration.
Any suggestion(s)?

ATA-RAID RAID-0 woes

Hm, I guess I will be going back to kernel 2.4.x. Thanks, Marcus.
BTW, there's the source code for the ATA-RAID drivers for the HPT-37x
controller on the highpoint-tech.com web site just that I can't
compile them - gives me lots of errors and I guess I'll start bugging
the Highpoint tech support team to give me a hand on that.
