- I have the Linux rootdisk/bootdisk installation. I even managed to
- get a 60Meg DOS with a 40 meg Linux partition running. Now, how do I
- get the files that I have on my MSDOS disks to my Linux partition? I
- realse that MTOOLS is out there, but how do I get MTOOLS over to the DOS
- partition?, er, the Linux partition?
- Is there an image disk available for MTOOLS? Or a communications
- image? My FTP access is very shaky, concerning large files (I have to
- uuencode them and then ASCII transfer them to my DOS machine because I
- am stuck in 7-bit mode with the host computer. Kermit only runs at
- about 30 cps and I'm connected at 9600 baud. :) ), so the SLS release,
- being around 10 megs for the a1-a4 disks is practically out of the
- question. Can someone just e-mail me an image of mtools? I already have
- a bunch of Linux programs and source code and stuff on my DOS partition,
- I just need to figure some way to get it to the Linux partition.
- Please respon via email. My chances to get into the usenet groups are
- very few and far between these days...
- Oh.. would it be possible to null-modem connect my other computer (one
- of them), uuencode something, then login to /dev/ttys1, and ascii upload
- the uuencoded file to the 'cat' program? If that's a workable idea, can
- someone send me a uuencoded image of uudecode binary for Linux? (again
- via email)
- Also, what is the status of the TCP/IP kernal for Linux? How would I
- go about adding TCP/IP services to a v0.98 kernal? I think if I were
- able to use TCP/IP (via slip) with Linux, it would probably be better
- than the current connection I have with DOS... (just a terminal program,
- no TCP/IP proto whatsoever...)
- Oh, yeah, one more question, sorry, I keep thinking of these things...
- :)
- I have a modem on COM4 (0x2e8, int 3)... how would I get Linux to
- recognize it? When I boot Linux, it s ays there are only 2 com ports
- available, and initilizes them as ttys0 and ttys1. (what happens if I
- move my mouse, does it try and login on ttys0? *grin*) I've
- experimented a bit with using setserial to switch ttys0 to 0x2e8/3, but
- I have no way of measuring my success currently. :)
