Subject: Updated Linux Newbie Administrator Guide ver.0.54
Date: Tue, 19 Oct 1999 20:36:54 GMT
Reply-To: bklimas@magma.ca
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Hi. We are pleased to announce that our family project,
the "Linux Newbie Administration Guide" has been
significantly updated again.
The guide is hosted at:
http://sunsite.auc.dk/linux-newbie/ (Sunsite Denmark),
and the mirrors are available at:
http://www.linsup.com/newbie/ (Australia), and
http://www.magma.ca/~bklimas/ (Ontario).
Now, also a postscript and pdf versions are available for
download to ease printing.
The Guide contains simple (hopefully) and minimalistic
answers to questions that the Linux users (or potential
users) administrating their own computers or a home
network might face--everything from reasons to choose
Linux to the kernel upgrade.
We aim at producing a practical guide that could be a Linux
newbie starting point: to get basic things working, to have
simple yet annoying problems solved, and to have the work
done under Linux. With the current version of the guide
(0.54), we believe we are more than half way to our goal.
So more additions and improvement are in progress.
The guide is distributed under the General Public License
(GPL). We welcome contributions, comments, criticism
(gentle, please), mirrors, distributions, etc.
Alesh Mustar (Slovenia) wrote a nice guide on upgrading the
kernel that we are happy to include in the guide.
We hope the guide is of help to Linux newbies. Please don't
hesitate to send your corrections!!!
Best regards,
Stan Klimas, Deep River, Ontario

Subject: New release of the ISA PnP utilities (isapnptools-1.19)
Date: Tue, 19 Oct 1999 20:36:02 GMT
Reply-To: isapnp@roestock.demon.co.uk
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
I've now released version 1.19 of my Plug and Play ISA configuration tools.
They cover isolation, dumping resource data, and configuring ISA PnP devices.
The tools I wrote for this _will_ eventually be on
ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/unix/linux/utils/isapnptools-1.19.tgz (98493 bytes),
ftp://MetaLab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/hardware/isapnptools-1.19.tgz,

ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/pnp/utils/isapnptools-1.19.tgz and
ftp://ftp.lmh.ox.ac.uk/pub/linux/pnp/isapnptools-1.19.tgz
(And various mirror sites shortly afterwards).
isapnptools-1.19.lsm in the same directory is simply the LSM entry for isapnptools.
isapnptools-1.19.bin.tgz in the same directory also includes precompiled binaries.
I've uploaded them, but they may take a day or two to reach their final home.
The latest version is available now via the link on the isapnptools home
page: http://www.roestock.demon.co.uk/isapnptools/, as is a list of the
md5 checksums for each package.
The isapnptools FAQ is available via the home page above.
Here is the LSM entry:
Begin3
Title: isapnptools
Version: 1.19
Entered-date: 16OCT99
Description: ISA plug and play configuration utility
Two programs - one allows the dumping of resource data and generation
of a skeleton configuration file, the other configures ISA PnP hardware
using a configuration file.
See http://www.roestock.demon.co.uk/isapnptools/ for latest information.

Here are the changes:
Changes since Release 1.18
==========================
General
- -------
Added Y2K statement to the README ! (for what it's worth)
Makefile improved to allow easier install into non-root filesystems.
Improved isapnp man page with error messages, their meanings, and what
to do when you get them.
pnpdump (now v1.19)
- -------------------
1) Added realtime processing limit, and --max-realtime flag to change it.
2) Added --version flag, and add isapnptools version to output
3) Fixed various bugs in resource allocation that would cause hangs with -c flag.
4) Fixed typos.
5) Fixed debian bug 35138. Boards requesting IRQ2 get converted to IRQ9.
6) Manual page updated with real-time warning and new flags
7) Leave real-time mode when finished accessing hardware
8) Fixed shell script output to remove surplus pnp_isa_configure calls.
9) Start scanning for read ports at 0x273 to avoid sound cards at 0x200.
10) Scan /proc/pci for IRQ resources used if /proc/bus/pci/devices not found.
isapnp (now v1.18)
- ------------------
1) Added realtime processing limit of 5 seconds.
2) Fixed IO resource checking - was happening twice, hence giving conflict.
3) Manual page updated with real-time warning and description of errors.
4) Keep READPORT allocated so we can spot when we allocate a device on top of it.
5) Check manual READPORT setting for resource conflicts.
6) Start scanning for read ports at 0x273 to avoid sound cards at 0x200.
7) Scan /proc/pci for IRQ resources used if /proc/bus/pci/devices not found.
FAQ (now v0.10)
- ---------------
Lots of stuff added, too numerous to identify individually, but includes
the effect of the changes above.
More pointers to information on modems etc added.
Enjoy..
Peter Fox

Date: Tue, 19 Oct 1999 20:51:45 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
The Linux/Unix Users' Group of Virginia Tech, located in Blacksburg,
Va., is holding a Linux/*BSD Installfest. We'll be installing from 11:00
AM till 6:00 PM on Saturday, October 30th, 1999. The Installfest will
be located in Squires Student Center room 150 on the campus of Virginia
Tech.
An Installfest is a one-day event where PC owners can bring their
systems in to a central location to have an alternate operating system
installed for a "test drive." In most cases, Linux, FreeBSD or another
free UNIX, can be installed on a user's hard drive and the system
configured so that they can "dual-boot" to both Windows or MacOS and the
new OS. That way you can try out Linux or BSD without losing the ability
to run your primary OS while you're still learning about your new OS.
We plan to install Caldera, Debian, Mandrake, Red Hat, Slackware and
SuSE, and also FreeBSD, with perhaps NetBSD or OpenBSD if there is
demand.
Pre-registration is *mandatory* and can be done online:
<URL:http://corvette.me.vt.edu/if-app.cgi>
The application contact is Vincent Rivellino <cousin.vinnie@vt.edu>. No
pre-registration, no installation, no exceptions; we have to know what
hardware and how many installs to expect. Installation availability is
on a first-come, first-served basis, so please apply early! We will turn
away overflow crowds and point them to our Spring Installfest.
For directions, email us (Vincent Rivellino <cousin.vinnie@vt.edu>).
Generally, we're located about 35 miles SW of Roanoke, Virginia,
and about 50 miles east of Bluefield, West Virginia. We're located
conveniently close to US Interstate 81, on US Route 460.
We hope to see you there!

Patch for kernel version 2.2.12 is located at

This version (0.2 alpha) works well as loadable module. Statically

Date: Tue, 19 Oct 1999 20:57:52 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
More freely available updates for Accelerated-X have been made available
on the Xi Graphics Anon-FTP site.
AX:
3dfx Voodoo 3500 16MB AGP
S3 Trio3D/2X (Sparkle SP362B)
LX:
NeoMagic MagicMedia 256AV (Sony PCG-F190, Toshiba Tecra 800, etc)
Accelerated-X Desktop (AX) updates now support the 3dfx Voodoo 3500 16MB
AGP. This is the fastest of the 3dfx Voodoo chips currently in
production, and comes second in X Server speed to the Matrox G400. The
binary update for Accelerated-X 5 is available at URL
ftp://ftp.xig.com/pub/updates/accelx/desktop/5.0.3/intel/D5003.003.tar.gz
and the description is available at URL
ftp://ftp.xig.com/pub/updates/accelx/desktop/5.0.3/intel/D5003.003.txt.
An update for the S3 Trio3D/2X has been developed for and tested on the
Sparkle SP362B 4MB card. This is one of the slower graphics chips
currently available. The update is available at URL
ftp://ftp.xig.com/pub/updates/accelx/desktop/5.0.3/intel/D5003.002.tar.gz
and the text description is at URL
ftp://ftp.xig.com/pub/updates/accelx/desktop/5.0.3/intel/D5003.002.txt.
Accelerated-X (LX) for Flat Panel Displays and Portable Computers
An update is available for the Sony PCG-F190, using the NeoMagic
Magicmedia 256AV. The update should also be of interest to other LX
users with the neoMagic 256AV chipset, such as the Toshiba Tecra 8000.
This update corrects an font display problem with the NeoMagic 256AV.
The update is available at URL
ftp://ftp.xig.com/pub/updates/accelx/laptop/5.0.3/L5003.001.tar.gz and
the text description of the update is at URL
ftp://ftp.xig.com/pub/updates/accelx/laptop/5.0.3/L5003.001.txt
