Re: [Trinux-talk] telnetd and ftpd in Trinux ?

[Byunghwan L. <bh...@ho...>]

You mean I can do ftp from local to Trinux server using OpenSSH ?
I could telnet but I don't know how to ftp it to Trinux.
That's why I do reverse ftp from Trinux to local...

Thank you

[Matthew F. <mf...@ci...>]

Oh, I assumed you meant the telnet/ftp server.  The clients are
trivial.  There should be telnet client built into busybox.  A while back
I was trying to find an ftp client that *doesn't* rely on libreadline.

Re: [Trinux-talk] telnetd and ftpd in Trinux ?

[Byunghwan L. <bh...@ho...>]

Thank you
I instaled opensshd and made it run.
But for the ftp I just installed ftp client
and telnet to Trinux and ftp from it...
For ftp client, I had to copy libreadline.so.3 and
libncurses.so.4 in /lib dir.

Thank you again.

Check out the serial.tgz package in http://trinux.sourceforge.net/pkg/

Make sure you use the latest boot image (071pre2) and the serial module
should be loaded automatically.  Let me know how far you get with it and
I'll make as necessary.

I'm am running Trinux 070 and I run it with the 
boot disk and two package disks but when I tried to

Re: [Trinux-talk] telnetd and ftpd in Trinux ?

[Matthew F. <mf...@ci...>]

See http://trinux.sourceforge.net/remote-admin.html for the

going.

[Trinux-talk] Installing Trinux on HD

[Neema A. <ne...@ny...>]

I realize the basics of Trinux say "for now it is Trinux can not easily be
installed on the HD like other Linux distrubtions" but I noticed the word
"easily". Now, I can deal with hard. I have an old, POS ThinkPad that I'd
really like to turn into a coding machine. Any ideas?

I think basically Linus will NEVER incorporate and httpd server in the kernel so
Red Hat was the first one to actually do it a commerically support..or something
like that.

Re: [Trinux-talk] web server in Trinux ?

[Matthew F. <mf...@ci...>]

I'm not familiar with the Tux web server.  Is it the kernel web server in
2.4? I didn't know Red Hat wrote it?!

Really, the only thing taken from Slackware is the libraries and the fact
that new libraries and binaries are compiled on Slackware.  I chose
Slackware because RedHat's libc and friends are way too bloated.  Most of
the standard utils are courtesy of busybox and the rest are pretty much
compiled from scratch.

[Trinux-talk] booting problem on 486

Floppy0: unexpected interrupt 
Floppy0: sensei repl[0] = 70 repl[I] = 0 
Segmantation fault
PIIX: sth not 100% compatible

and Trinux could stand up

I'm using 486 DX with 24MB RAM. And I've changed FDD Controller and the floppy.

I wanted use 486SX but 'cos of lack of coprocessor Trinux "gave up'. Could I turn coproc. emulation on in some way?

[Matthew F. <mf...@ci...>]

1) Httpdtype is a program to capture the HTTP header and determine what
type of web server is running

2) What are your specific needs for a web server?  In the past an apache
package was available and recently I've been considering building one
again with PHP mysql support and all the works just for the hell of
it.  I believe there is a boa package out there as well that I can update
if you just want minimal features.

See http://busybox.lineo.com, but basically it involves (un)commenting
#defines for specific busybox then recompiling the busybox binary.


The linuxrc is the best place to start to understand how Trinux
works.  There are a fair amount of comments and the shell scripts are one
a 3rd grade reading level :)
