by There are actually three unrelated questions:
I have the SLS 1.03 release with Linux pl13 running nicely ony my
two 486s. My setup has the complete SLS on one master machine , with a
large hard drive etc. and the other one has only the basic SLS and runs
all the stuff (including X) over NFS from the master machine.
All accounts are replicated on both machines, and the home directories
on the slave accounts are actually the master machine's accounts
mounted over the NFS. So the only basic difference in logging in the slave
or master is that a different CPU/memory is used. I've had no problem,
except that disk-intensive jobs on the slave run slower (obviously, since
the filesystem is over NFS!)
Now the questions:
1. My LINUX boxes also mount my SUN home directories for easy file
access (and vice versa). Linux programs access files on the SUN easily.
But code (especially my own programs) on the SUN bombs out if I access the
LINUX files on the LINUX boxes from the SUN. The machine
says "NFS server time out" or something like that? Any idea why??
Commands like "cp", "mv", and even "vi" on the SUN work fine with
the NFS mounted LINUX fs! But my programs bomb!
2. For some reason, I can't get X to work with my slave's 3button mouse
(it's a generic)! Two buttons work great, but I'd like to have
cut and paste . Any idea how to work the 3 button emulation that
I see in the Xconfig?
3. I just got the SLS 1.03 and I see 0.99pl14 is out already!
What is exactly involved in updating my kernel? Just bring over
and compile? Where do I get the necessary info? What about my SLS setup?
Does it change in any way if I update the kernel?
I would appreciate an email response directly, since our newsfeed is
somewhat problematic!!
