- Psst! Buddy, can you spare a clue?
-
- A couple Linux-newbie(tm) questions:
-
- 1) Is there any Token Ring support? I've got a 16Mb card here and it
- would sweet to ftp right to Linux instead of to DOS -> rawrite -> Linux
- -> tar.
-
- 2) Just how do you move stuff from DOS to Linux via rawrite -> tar? I
- grabbed tcsh.tar.Z from tsx, uncompressed it in DOS, rawrote it to a
- floppy, fired up Linux (thanks BootLinux & Boot.Sys!) and ran
-
- tar -tvf /dev/fd0H1440
-
- It spat out the verbose file listing as (I assumed) it put the files on
- the HD. But! There were no additional files on the HD. df reported no
- used/free changes. What am I doing wrong here?
-
- [ok, maybe not just a couple of questions]
-
- 3) Is there a Common Lisp implementation for Linux?
-
- 4) mtools. Where can I find docs for mtools? (DOS is on C, Linux is on
- D with 3 partitions - 18M /, 63M /usr & 10M swap).
-
- 5) Anything else a Linux-newbie(tm) should know that's not in the FAQ/whatnot?
-
- Thanks!
