    I'm using 5.0 to post this, and, yeah, it's a little flaky. I haven't been able to make world for nearly a month now.

  6. Re:Check out UPX, a binary packer. on The Swiss Army Knife of Linux? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it decompresses it to /tmp and exec's it. If you don't have enough temp space to hold the decompressed binary, it won't work. I'm not sure how it works on windows.

    I've run into this problem before, and couldn't figure out what the problem was. Then I ran strace on it, and saw it was execing a file in /tmp.

    Linux runs fine on my 601-based 7200/75, and the 7500/100 also has a PPC601 processor. These are both PCI systems that will run normal Linux (as opposed to MKLinux) just fine.

  18. quick icc vs. gcc test with bzip2 on Intel C/C++ Compiler Beats GCC · · Score: 1

    Hi, I did a quick test with bzip2 on linux-2.4.17.tar(.bz2). With gcc, I used the default optimisations ("-O2") that bzip2's Makefile has, and with icc I changed that "-O2" to "-O3 -tpp6 -xK". Not that much of a difference. This is on a dual Pentium III 750Mhz machine, although it's only using one processor.

  24. Get a mouse on Dreamcast as a Web Browser? · · Score: 1

    Dude, I just bought a Dreamcast mouse for all of $10 the other day, and I really think that it deserves a mouse if you're going to use it as some sort of computing-device.

    I haven't gotten around to putting a UNIX on it yet, but I'm rather sure that things aren't to an extremely usable state either. I'd think you'd be better off using the software that came with it.

  25. Here's how we do it: on Interoperability Between automount Implementations? · · Score: 1

    At work, we have an NIS server which contains all of our data. In our case, we mount the /home directory. Here are our relevants files:

    /etc/auto.master:
    # Master map for automounter
    #
    +auto.master
    /home auto.home -nobrowse

    Relevants entries in /etc/nsswitch.conf:
    netgroup: nis
    auto.home: nis
    auto.master: nis


    And we start it as "/sbin/automount /home yp auto.home"

    See, all of the info is just an NIS field:
    [tux-6] ~$ ypcat auto.master
    auto.home
    -hosts -nosuid

    auto.home is also an NIS field that has all the rest of the stuff

    We are using whatever automounter that comes with Solaris (I'm assuming. I never looked at it too hard) and Autofs 4.0.0pre10 or something like that on linux, and they both work. The config files are almost the same too.
