That has nothing to do with SIGHUP; it's actually the opposite. `stty hupcl' causes the modem to be hung up when the last process closes the tty.

To get all background processes to terminate by default, when the user logs out.

I'd expect you to pick up (in total) at least 400 of these T's -- I can probably have 100 sold off in Delhi. Alternatively, if you're interested, please send me a mail confirming your order, in which case I'll request you to send me a draft for the appropriate amount, and then get the stuff delivered to you. Third alternative is if G T Enterprises picks up the T's -- I'm quite willing to let them have them (the T's) at cost.

It is the distribution for people who do not like too much hand holding. If you are an absolute newcomer, I suggest RH 5.X which is more widely available in India.

Is there someone here who can take charge of getting the orders. Raj Mathur said that he'd need an idea of the number of buyers before he could give an exact price (which will be between Rs 125 and 150). I am not in a position to accept the responsibilty of the T-shirts and hope that someone on this list will do so.

I can do that. If everyone is comfortbale with the idea. I think all of you have written to the list with your 'order'. SO I will consolidate and send a mail confirming the quantities.

There are two volunteers so far 1. P. Asokan 2. Maneesh Bomb Mr. Bomb is not yet a member of this list and I have asked him to subscribe. I think it best for Mr. Asokan and Bomb to decide which one of them is going to be the volunteer and let us know. -- prabhu -- Listar MIME Decryption -------------- -- Content: Included message From owner-linux-india@grandteton.cs.uiuc.edu Thu Apr 15 23:30:39 1999 X-POP3-Rcpt: prabhu@kiwi Return-Path: Received: from aero.aero.iitm.ernet.in (root@aero.aero.iitm.ernet.in [144.16.246.3]) by garuda.aero.iitm.ernet.in (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id OAA01686 for ; Fri, 16 Apr 1999 14:40:53 +0530 Received: from grandteton.cs.uiuc.edu (grandteton.cs.uiuc.edu [128.174.246.189]) by aero.aero.iitm.ernet.in (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id OAA29455 for ; Fri, 16 Apr 1999 14:38:18 +0530 Received: (from majordomo@localhost) by grandteton.cs.uiuc.edu (8.7/8.7.3) id XAA06242 for linux-india-outgoing; Thu, 15 Apr 1999 23:53:54 -0500 X-Authentication-Warning: grandteton.cs.uiuc.edu: majordomo set sender to owner-linux-india@grandteton.cs.uiuc.edu using -f Received: from sgi.com (sgi-too.SGI.COM [204.94.211.39]) by grandteton.cs.uiuc.edu (8.7/8.7.3) with ESMTP id XAA06228; Thu, 15 Apr 1999 23:51:49 -0500 Received: from odin.corp.sgi.com (odin.corp.sgi.com [192.26.51.194]) by sgi.com (980327.SGI.8.8.8-aspam/980304.SGI-aspam: SGI does not authorize the use of its proprietary systems or networks for unsolicited or bulk email from the Internet.) via SMTP id XAA05937; Thu, 15 Apr 1999 23:47:41 -0700 (PDT) mail_from (raju@bhairavi.newdelhi.sgi.com) Received: from sgindia.newdelhi.sgi.com by odin.corp.sgi.com via ESMTP (951211.SGI.8.6.12.PATCH1502/951211.SGI) id XAA07329; Thu, 15 Apr 1999 23:47:29 -0700 Received: from bhairavi.newdelhi.sgi.com (bhairavi.newdelhi.sgi.com [134.14.90.52]) by sgindia.newdelhi.sgi.com (980427.SGI.8.8.8/970903.SGI.AUTOCF) via ESMTP id MAA68134; Fri, 16 Apr 1999 12:16:30 +0530 (IST) Received: (from raju@localhost) by bhairavi.newdelhi.sgi.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id MAA04736; Fri, 16 Apr 1999 12:00:39 +0530 (IST) Date: Fri, 16 Apr 1999 12:00:39 +0530 (IST) Message-Id: <199904160630.MAA04736@bhairavi.newdelhi.sgi.com> From: Raj Mathur To: linux-delhi@bhairavi.newdelhi.sgi.com, linux-india-general@grandteton.cs.uiuc.edu, linux-india@grandteton.cs.uiuc.edu Subject: Linux/Penguin T-Shirts X-Mailer: VM 6.31 under 20.2 XEmacs Lucid Reply-To: raju@sgi.com Mime-Version: 1.0 (generated by tm-edit 7.106) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-linux-india@grandteton.cs.uiuc.edu Precedence: bulk Reply-To: linux-india@grandteton.cs.uiuc.edu X-Url: http://www.linux-india.org X-Status: This is hopefully the last time I'm referring to this on the lists in such detail... The objective of this post to to act as a sort of FAQ and reduce the volume of mail I'm getting on this subject: since I posted my original message 3 days ago, I've already got 114 T-shirt related messages and my work is suffering! If your questions are still unanswered in this mail, please do send me a personal mail. I'm planning to get some Linux/Penguin/Linux-India T-shirts made. This is not my business, I'm an SGI employee and a software/networking type person. I'm doing this to promote Linux and Linux-India and this is a non-profit project. The T's will be made of white knit cotton with collars and buttons. The front will contain the text ``Linux The Choice of a GNU Generation'' in black split above and below a black and yellow graphic of Tux, the Linux Penguin. The back will contain the text ``www.linux-india.org'' in black. Initially the only sizes available will be M and XL. If you want other sizes, I can get them made specially but the manufacturer will charge extra for small quantities. A facsimile of the proposed look is available at: http://reality.sgi.com/raju/linux-t.gif Note that the greyscales may not come out OK, so the final product may look sharper than this graphic. The price of each T is expected to be around Rs. 125-150. I've already got requests for over 100 T's, expect it to grow. I cannot pay for shipping, so shipping and handling cost will have to be borne by the purchaser. There are no demo pieces or shareware versions or samples or timebombed softwear versions available. Some people (including me) will be picking up 50 or more T's for subsequent reselling. If you want to do this, please let me know individually. I request each large city to make a single point of contact who can collect the cash for all the T's requested in his/her city, send it to me, receive the shipment and distribute the T's. This will save shipping costs, save my time so that I can actually try to earn the salary that SGI pays me instead of spending 4 hours a day on logistics of delivery and cash collection, and generally simplify life for everyone (i.e. me :-) Please organise this amongst yourselves and let me know who the contact person is. If you're the only one in your town, then I'll arrange to send the T's to you directly. Payment terms are STRICTLY IN ADVANCE. I CANNOT and WILL NOT pay for the T's (except the 50 I'm picking up) and expect to collect the cash later. Sorry. My liquidity position just doesn't permit it. If you're an enterpreneur and want to pick up large quantities for subsequent reselling (at whatever price), please let me know. I don't care what price you sell them at. You're still subject to all the conditions above :-) I'm going off to Singapore between the 21st and the 30th of this month. If things are worked out by then I'll arrange for someone to collect the cash and ship the T's in my absence. If things aren't finalised by then, I'm afraid you'll have to wait until I get back. Hope this clarifies matters. Regards, -- Raju -- To unsubscribe, send mail to majordomo@grandteton.cs.uiuc.edu with the body "unsubscribe linux-india" and an empty subject line.

From: "K. Arun" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- ILUG - Chennai/Madras met today (24th. April 1999, 1530 IST) at the usual place (Computer Centre, IIT Madras). While exact attendance figures are not at hand, less than 20 members attended; the slack could be attributed to the imminent approach of end semester examinations. What is significant perhaps is that at every meeting we see a considerable number of new faces. This meeting was as productive as any other with talks, discussions, commitments, revelations and promises. Prabhu Ramachandran started off with a talk on setting up PPP to dial out of the typical Linux box (his), the focus being on the idiosyncracies of the Red Hat setup. The manner in which Debian deals with this issue (pppconfig, pon, poff) was also mentioned. The meeting then broke for coffee and the burning issue of Linux India T-shirts was discussed threadbare, with Maneesh Bomb handling most of the queries. Concurrent discussions on miscellaneous topics were also heard. Order was restored soon thereafter and our resident guru and host, Dr. Sriram took up where Prabhu left off and discussed the steps involved in setting up a dial-in PPP server in great detail, digressing along the way to handle issues such as callback and IVRS (using mgetty+voice). Several interesting initiatives currently in place in this city relating to free software/OSS were also revealed, primary among them being the Linux training programme from Lateral Software (who are responsible for a large hoarding with three rather puny looking penguins on a busy bridge in the city). The date for the next meeting has not been definitely decided as yet. The matter will be resolved on the ilugc discussion list. - arun - -- Prof: So the American government went to IBM to come up with a data encryption standard and they came up with ...

If not this email for you. muLinux (µ-Linux) is a full-configured, minimalistic, almost complete, application-centric tiny distribution of Linux made in Italy, fitted on a single 1722K floppy. Its aim is to demonstrate the power and scalability of this operating system. The 2.0.36 kernel is compiled for the 386 (without co-processor) and modularized as much as possible. The binaries are taken from the dozens of distibutions and boot-floppies It has 2 optional add on floppies. The muLinux XWindow addon consists, basically, of the VGA-16 XServer, the fvwm95-2, Afterstep and wm2 Window-Manager and the XFM Application & File Manager. Other X programs are: xcalc, xclock, xload, xhost, xmodmap, xsetroot, xinit, xcal, xmixer, pyro, xsnow and xterm. xterm can be used to run every text-mode muLinux command (lynx, minicom, workbone, etc...). xhost is interesting because it allows the local X server to display The GCC addon floppy consists of many programming tools like GCC, pascal2c etc. Windows/dos users should also download dostools.zip which contains a lot of tools including install.bat which gives you the option to prepare the 3 floppies or install linux in the fat16 partition as a UMSDOS installation. The UMSDOS installation including both the add on floppies occupy only abut 16 mb. The 3 floppies can also be used to create a UMSDOS installation on any windows/dos machine. This can just be done by just booting completely using all the 3 floppies and issuing a clone command which will clone the entire installation on to the dos partition. Great way to non-intrusively do a linux installation on dos/Windows users, (with xwindows) which may encourage them to go in for a full linux installation later on. ONE EASY WAY TO INCREASE OUR TRIBE I, GUESS. The URL is mulinux.nevalabs.org/mulinux It is also under very fast development. The latest release was on 25th April, and the latest version is 5.7. In the last meeting I got a Stampede linux cd (a distribution of linux optimised for Pentiums). I also found in the cd a directory called tiny_linuxes which contained other floppy based linux distributions. They are the most recent versions of DLX distribution, Doslinux, ELKS, floppyX, hal91, loaf, lods, lrp, monkey_linux, smalllinux, tomsrtbt and trinux. Any takers for any of the above. A few questions which someone asked me recently Does our government has any restrictions on the use of cyphers. Can we use PGP legally? Can any one tell me how to get/use PGP? Any answers???

Thats suprising. My computer is similar to yours. I have win95 on my harddisk. This is what I did. I downloaded the following files from the site dostools.zip, mulinux-5r7.tgz, X11.tgz and GCC.tgz I unziped dostools.zip into a directory called c:\mul using winzip. I copied mulinux-5r7.tgz, X11.tgz and GCC.tgz into the same directory i.e. c:\mul I restarted in msdos mode and cd'ed to c:\mul and ran install.bat when it asked for the partitions the images are kept I entered hda1 (my hard disk has 2 partitions) When it asked me which directory I kept the installation files I entered \mul Thats it. The rest of the installation is fairly simple and very straigtforward. It this clear enough? I have also prepared the 3 floppies and carry it around, where ever I go. I have installed mulinux using the floppies on a number of my friend's computers (all win95 users) (using the clone command). They simply din't believe that so much can be packed on to the floppies. In one case I actually removed the harddisk and ran mulinux, to prove to the owner that it really runs off the floppy (well. off the ram disk actually). > can we make the floppies from a linux m/c? if yes, how? Of course yes. But I have not done it since I dont have a linux m/c right now. Will be have one very soon. Can any one else answer this ? There are also a lot of optional modules which you can install into the kernal which is available as a seperate file from the site in a file called MODULES-36.tgz Though I downloaded that file too I haven't fiddled with it as yet. I would like to know about if there is a boot manager which would allow me to boot into more that 2 operating systems. I am thinking of installing windows 95, windows nt, linux(redhat), linux(debian), BeOS, FreeBSD, OpenBSD on seperate partitions of an 8GB hard disk. Will LILO allow me to do this? Well I know it sounds crazy. But I intend to have such a config for some time atleast. Have fun and help increase our tribe.

The PCQ CD itself is a copy of all the GPL'd stuff (apart from the PCQ scripts - read them and see if the scripts have a License restriction if they have one just dont copy the scripts - the rpms can be copied though) on the Official RedHat CD and this stuff is GPL so freely copy.

The question is, are there more people on this list who'd like Debian CDs ? If I get an adequate response, I'll mail Manoj with our request. - arun ------------------------------
