Frequently Asked Questions (FAQS);faqs.166



You have a few options:

 a. Run the Installer on a newly formatted disk. This means that HD Setup
    will do all the partitioning (etc...) and the installation will
    proceed. Note that this means you will be "stuck" with the Apple drivers
    whenever you are in the _real_ MacOS Finder.

 b. If you want to use the drivers on your HD utility (for stuff like,
    maybe, password protection of partitions) then you have two (maybe
    three )additional options:

   i. Use 'a' above to install A/UX. Then use your HD utility program to
      "take over" the disk, disabling (or even removing) the Apple drivers
      and installing it's own. Note that if there isn't enough space to
      install it's drivers, most will attempt to "shrink" the MacOS
      partition to make room. Most can do this with no problem, but why
      take the risk... when you partition the disk, leave about 64K
      available as free space.

  ii. Use your HD utility to create the partitions. Then, before you
      run the Installer, run 'newfs' "by hand" to create the file systems
      so that the installation can proceed.

 iii. Use your HD utility to format (etc...) your disk and create
      _only_ the MacOS partition. Now run the Installer. In most cases
      HD Setup will work fine with the driver installed on the disk.
      You can now use it to create the A/UX partitions.

      <<ED: I _know_ this (iii) works with FWH HDT 1.1.x>>

45)  I'm using a LaserWriter IIg with A/UX 3.0 and whenever I print some-
     thing to it through 'lpr', the first line of the page is cut off. Why?

This only shows up on versions of the IIg (and IIf) with less than 5MB RAM.
The reason is because this makes the LW default to PhotoGrade-mode. You can do
2 things to fix this:

    1. Using the LaserWriter Utility program, disable PhotoGrade.
       Since one of the main advantages of these LW's is PhotoGrade,
       this option is kinda unpalatable.

    2. If you are _only_ using "Letter" mode under 'lpr', then you
       can edit /usr/lib/ps/pstext.pro to include the following line
       between "% RCSID:..." and "/StartPage...":

       %!PS-Adobe-1.0
       % Z%Copyright Apple Computer 1987\tVersion 1.1 of pstext.pro on\
         87/05/04 19:02:25
       %%Creator: pstext
       %%DocumentFonts: Courier
       % RCSID: $Header: pstext.pro,v 2.1 85/11/24 12:19:55 shore Rel $
 =====>>>>>letter
       /StartPage{/sv save def 48 760 moveto}def

This will fix the problem and make it usable again.

===
46)  Whenever I try to run xinit (or startx) from the CommandShell I get
     a fatal server error. Why?

The reason why is because both X and the CommandShell want _complete_ control
over your Mac (display, keyboard and mouse). So, when you try to start one
while running the other, you'll get into trouble. You need to start X either
from the Console Emulator Mode or by choosing it as your "session type" from
the Login screen (This session type will be available only if your installed
Apple's X or have installed John Coolidge's 'sessiontypes' for X11R5).

===
47)  I'm trying to access my tape drive using 'tc' (with something like
     "find . -print | cpio -o > /dev/rmt/tc1") but it doesn't work...

Except for 9-track magtapes, all I/O to tape drives associated with the
'tc' device files _must_ be blocked at 8k. The 'tcb' program does just
that so that should be included. For example, to write:

    $ find . -print | cpio -o | tcb > /dev/rmt/tc1

And to read:

    $ tcb < /dev/rmt/tc1 | cpio -i

You can get better performance if you increase the buffer size (just make
sure that it's a multiple of 8k). For example, you could use 'dd' as
your blocking filter with a 'bs=10x8k'.

Jim Jagielski's replacement for 'tc' allows for 'tc' to use the
tape drive's own physical block size as the logical block size
for I/O. Doing so results in a noticeable performance hit and it
isn't recommended for normal use. Use the "mode" _ONLY_ if you
need to read tapes written by 'st' or by another platform. Please
note you are still limited to an I/O block size of at least the
physical block size, which can be anything for 512 to 1024 to 8192 bytes.

|'tc' 3.12 can also emulate variable block lengths (which A/UX's SCSI
Manager doesn't support). Doing so results in a _huge_ performance
hit since the drive must handshake on the transfer of each byte. This
mode is only included to help in reading/writing tapes that will be used
on other platforms.

%%% For more information about 'tc', please contact Jim via E-mail %%%

===
48)  What CD-ROM drives are compatible with A/UX 3.0?

Of course, the Apple CD-ROM drive is 100% compatible with A/UX. The following
are also known to be 100% compatible (meaning you can use them to install
A/UX as well as when running A/UX):

    The Toshiba XM3201B and XM3301B
    DEC RRD42
    Sun CD-ROM (Sony CDU-8012?)
    CD-Technologies Porta-Drive CD-ROM
    Chinon CDA-431

===
49)  Do I install CDEVs and Extensions in the System Folder on MacPartition
     or on the "/" A/UX disk.

To install these additions to A/UX, you will need to drag-copy them over
to the A/UX System Folder. Usually, this is /mac/sys/System Folder on
the "/" disk but it will also "appear" in your "home folder" icon.

===
50)  I heard that A/UX requires a special version of System 7 to boot...
     Is this true?

A lot of people believe this but this is not true. There is no difference
between the s/w on the MacPartition partition and the "real" System 7.
The only _real_ need for MacPartition is that the disk where A/UX Startup
lives is where A/UX Startup looks for the A/UX Root partition. When A/UX
Startup launches, it looks at "it's" disk and then looks for A/UX partitions
on that disk. This means that you _don't_ need to boot-up from the
MacPartition disk to boot A/UX. Start your Mac from your standard Startup
disk and just double-click on A/UX Startup on the MacPartition icon.

You can even do without the MacPartition disk but telling A/UX Startup
the exact SCSI number of the A/UX disk. You can do this a couple of ways:

    1. create a ROOT variable in A/UX Startup that points to the
       root partition in this form: (SCSI-ID, 0, 0)

    2. Under the General Preferences menu, change the Root Directory
       to (SCSI-ID, 0, 0).

The "device" file /dev/default points to the SCSI-ID of whatever disk is the
MacPartition disk, so if you don't have one, you need to tell A/UX Startup
it's "real" name. This is kinda messy since you'll need to preface a lot
of stuff with this value: e.g.

    #startup cat (6,0,0)/etc/inittab

===
51)  I've tried to install the CD Remote extension to A/UX so that
     I can play audio CD's, but it doesn't work...

At present, A/UX will not allow you to play your audio CD's on a CD-ROM
drive, so don't attempt to install the CD Remote extension (see below #52).

===
52)  What CD-ROM formats does A/UX support?

A/UX supports ISO file system format CD-ROMs. The catch is that A/UX only
supports ISO in the MacOS mode (i.e. you can't 'mount' the CD-ROM as an
UNIX file system). To allow this, you'll need to copy 3 Mac files to
the System Folder that's active when you want to use ISO CD-ROMs. The files,
which must be obtained from the Apple CD-ROM Software Disk (vers. 3.2 or
later) are: ISO 9660 File Access, High Sierra File Access and Foreign
File Access (the latter is an Extension). Logging out of the MacOS mode
and then logging back in will "complete" the installation. Do _not_
install the Apple CD-ROM extension, since it is built into A/UX.

Again, please note that A/UX will not recognize _any_ of the audio
capability of CD-ROMs.

===
53)  How can I add printers other than those available via the Chooser?

<<ED: From a post by Antonio Ordonex ([e-mail])>>

If the printer is in another zone, it is necessary to define the zone in
which the printer is located with a full path name.  You can then
"hardwire" a printer name including the zone for a particular printer
queue.

The best way to do this is to make a copy the /usr/spool/lpd/AppleTalk
directory and give it a name related to the printer we want to use. Modify
the file ifilter/ofilter/nfilter  (it is the same file with 3 hard links)
in this directory. Also modyfy the /etc/printcap file to create a new
printer queue.

I will use my system as an example so please modify to reflect your
situation.

The first thing to do is to create the new directory and put the correct
files in it. NOTE that I am using mknod to create the pipe file.

mkdir Idaho
chown daemon Idaho
chgrp daemon Idaho
cp AppleTalk/ifilter Idaho/ifilter
cd Idaho
ln ifilter ofilter
ln ofilter nfilter
mknod pipe p
chown daemon *
chgrp daemon *

In my case I have a printer called "Idaho Spooler" in the zone "SCV CAM2
2nd W"  while my system is on the zone "SCV CAM2 2nd E", so all I do is to
modify the /usr/spool/lpd/Idaho/ifilter file (you can use vi or
TextEditor)
and change the line that defines the value for Printer from

Printer=`basename "cwd"`
    -to-
Printer="Idaho Spooler:LaserWriter@SCV CAM2 2nd W"

In the /etc/printcap file I copy the entry for AppleTalk (all six lines)
and change any reference to AppleTalk to the name I used for my new
directory. Again, in my case I used "Idaho" as the directory name so my
/etc/printcap file looks like

#
# pragma ident "@(#)lpr:printcap        5.4 90/03/27 "
#
# Copyright 1990 Apple Computer, Inc.
# All Rights Reserved.
##
# Remote AppleTalk printer (selected by Chooser)
# For an AppleTalk printer which doesn't support PostScript remove last 2
names.
lp|at|AppleTalk|postscript|PostScript:\
        :lp=/dev/null:\
        :if=/usr/spool/lpd/AppleTalk/ifilter:\
        :of=/usr/spool/lpd/AppleTalk/ofilter:\
        :nf=/usr/spool/lpd/AppleTalk/nfilter:\
        :sd=/usr/spool/lpd/AppleTalk:
lp2|Idaho:\
        :lp=/dev/null:\
        :if=/usr/spool/lpd/Idaho/ifilter:\
        :of=/usr/spool/lpd/Idaho/ofilter:\
        :nf=/usr/spool/lpd/Idaho/nfilter:\
        :sd=/usr/spool/lpd/Idaho:

After all these steps are completed restart the printer queue with the
command

lpc restart all

Now you should be able to send a print job to the printer in the other
zone
with the command

lpr -Plp2 /etc/passwd

or

lpr -PIdaho /etc/passwd

Hope this helps

===
54)  After the Mac environment crashes (or when I use MacsBug), the
     Desktop gets all screwed up... Argg!!

Ron Flax of Apple ([e-mail]) has written a very useful System
Extension called FMbackup that creates backup copies of "valuable" Desktop
files. When the MacOS-mode is entered, FMbackup restores these files. Thus,
when your MacOS "crashes", you no longer need to rebuild the Desktop
or reset all your Icons, window "types", etc... Please note that there
seems to be some incompatibilty between FMbackup and Moire and
QuickMail 2.5.1.

FMbackup (1.0.4) is available via anon-ftp on afsg.apple.com as well as
aux.support.apple.com (in "unsupported").

%%% For more information about "FMbackup", please contact Ron via E-mail %%%

==
55)  My MacOS partition(s) only show up on the Desktop when I login
     as root. Why?

Under the Preferences/General Menu of A/UX Startup, there is a radio-box
called "Password checking". This is intended to provide some security for
the A/UX Startup application. When enabled, two (default) things happen:

    1. A/UX Startup requires a password to open.
    2. MacOS partition(s) are only mounted for root login.

Thus, to enable MacOS partition(s) to be available for all users, you must
disable "Password checking". See auxstartuprc(4) for more info.

==
56)  For some reason, my CommandShell only responds to a keyboard
     event after it receives a second event. For example, typing "a"
     won't show until I type something else or click the mouse.
     What gives?

+This is caused almost 99% of the time by an Extension|CDEV conflict. The
+way around this is to selectively disable each one at a time and see which
+one causes the problem... then delete it. "Wild Magic" is prone to do this
+as are older versions of CEToolbox.

Distilled wisdom (panel 1)

This is rec.backcountry.  And the poster is the assistant to the r.b.nimng
ranger (he's a ranger, not the net.police or net.sheriff as some would like).
Read the warning, read the disclaimer, and if you are reading this in
news.answers, read the special addition, and maybe the Table of Contents
following the electronic zoological report.

Be warned:
1) The "outdoors" are HAZARDOUS, LETHAL, FATAL, TERMINAL w/o extreme prejudice.
As of this count, three readers of this group are now former-readers.
Anyone, including highly experienced people, can be killed.
2) The information given in this chain of postings should be taken with
a grain of salt.  Failure to heed this advice goes back to warning 1.
3) There is no such thing as an "outdoors expert."  Experienced people
realize this.  The mountain does not know that you are an expert.
4) A memorial to my friends, our friends, our fallen comrades,
our admirations is integrated as a rec.climbing FAQ panel.  Why climbing?
Most were climbers.

DISCLAIMER:
"Books are not a substitute for skill, nor can they make safe those who do not
practice the principles of safety.  Books are not substitutes for training.
We do not wish to discourage people who have age old urges.  But they can
answer simple problems and questions.  It is urged that the inexperienced
avail themselves of instruction, training, and mentorship.  We would
counsel you remember the virtues of progressive training: ... you crawled
before you walked and walked before you ran.  It would be well to take
your pioneering in little nibbles rather than big leaps.  Try the easy off
trail walks first, then the easy peaks, then the harder ones, always covering
yourself with a good route of retreat and plenty of time to make it.  And
always herald the philosophy of Norman Clyde: The mountain will always be
there tomorrow.  Aim to be able to say the same of yourself."

news.answers: This post is the first part of a 28 part experimental FAQ

The other 27 parts are posted one day at a time. These additional parts
are NOT posted to news.answers but can be read by temporarily subscribing to
rec.backcountry.  The composition of all attributes in
the contents and Header were deliberately set for the instrumentation and
experimentation toward discussion self-moderation and maintenance
(for instance "FAQ" appears no where in the Subject line; the host is also
a special host, etc.).  The chain's headers (Subject line) are useful like
a light house beacon.  The post is issued at the same time from the same
host on each of those days: this makes a useful network metric.  Failed
postings imply either the posting host dying, or a network connection
dropping/failing.  These posts are also a useful test of literacy
(how far you read, how well you read, etc.).  Occasionally you will see
uninformed people read and comment about them (they didn't reach this

what's going on [clueless]).  There is alot going on here and its all
