Fwd: Fwd: Fwd: [DISCUSS] 10 Good Unix command line habits
by Don Ellis 18 Dec '06

A response from a St. Louis colleague: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Robert Citek <robert.citek(a)gmail.com> Date: Dec 17, 2006 7:42 PM Subject: Re: Fwd: Fwd: [DISCUSS] 10 Good Unix command line habits To: discuss(a)sluug.org Also, in "Use escape sequences to manage long input", there's no need to put a backslash after a pipe (|), logical or (||), or logical and (&&). So, this: ~ $ cd tmp/a/b/c || \ > mkdir -p tmp/a/b/c && \ > tar xvf -C tmp/a/b/… [View More]

http://www.minix3.org/ maybe this development will spur an open device driver standard, or adoption of wrappers for the unified BSD driver standard into other frameworks -- He thought he could organize freedom how naive and controlling of him

Does anybody know an alternative to Dan's Guaurdian?

Linux / Sco Stuff.
by RtX 13 Dec '06

13 Dec '06

I have a client that has a very old 486 server running SCO UNIX 3.2. My job is to get the data off of this machine and get it on to a Linux machine. The problem here is that the 486 is ISA bus only. It does not have an IDE bus, main system HDD is SCSI (328MB). No network option, tape backup drive does not work either. I want to add a second SCSI disk to the system formatted in DOS FAT16, copy the data over to this drive, and then copy the data back on to the new Linux server. I am having no joy … [View More]

Well good luck in the fight to remove old hardware and more specifically SCO. Yet more reason that SCO blows goats and why you can't get too far behind the times w/ a proprietary OS. I bet if you contacted SCO, they'd sell you some pkg to give full DOS support, a tool to format a drive to work in SCO, or even network support. The key is they'd sell you something to get your data back off their incompatible old piece of crap OS. Good luck with Debian and may your nightmares be few. Many … [View More]

I have NEVER seen a 486 with USB ports. I imagine if you had one with a PCI port, you could add a USB PCI Card. That adapter you sent a link to is for what looks like 68-pin SCSI, and his drive is probably DB25 or 50-pin or lord knows what else at that age. It's a 328MB SCSI drive. I don't know if I've even seen a SCSI drive at less than 1 or 2 GB and still knew what it was. We're talking ancient freakin history here.

internal temperature sensor?
by David Nicol 09 Dec '06

09 Dec '06

Message from syslogd@justice at Fri Dec 8 15:29:07 2006 ... justice kernel: CPU0: Temperature above threshold when I was fiddling with the BIOS of my fancy new 1U server, I set "fan always on" to "turn fan on when exceeding temperature" but apparently the temperature there is not low enough to blow the heat out when I do something CPU-intensive (such as run my .sig for twenty minutes) Who knows how to find out what the current temperature is? Is it in /proc/misc or somewhere? This new-… [View More]

I may have an old ISA network card in my basement, or Oren has it from when he took all my extra old cards. You'd have to get drivers and put on floppy, but that would be another answer. I think I probably have a few 3Com ISA cards come to think of it. 3C509-TPO Great cards. >-----Original Message----- >From: On Behalf Of Zscoundrel >Sent: Friday, December 08, 2006 7:49 AM > >No network option???
