I admire the collection of notes which Chuck Cranor assembled at
<http://www.ccrc.wustl.edu/pub/chuck/tech/notes/>.
This collection is a humble reflection, of course.
The main idea here is to keep the information itself instead of
information about where to obtain information.
Sun Hardware and Solaris
IBM Mainframe
Miscellanea
- Zilog 8530 registers cheat sheet:
Read Registers,
Write Registers,
complete tarball.
- How to access remote CVS on instance of the
old vger. Note: vger is not accessible anymore, use this
as a template or general instructions.
- How to set masquerading with ipchains.
[This is obsolete, use iptables!]
- DEC VT-320 pinout.
- 168pin DIMM notches.
- Current Loop to RS-232 adapter schematics.
- Andrey Chernov's KOI-8R write-up in KOI-8 :)
- UNIX and GNU
Regular Expressions.
- C operator precedence.
- How to enable kgdb in Linux on SPARC,
and Why you can use kadb with kgdb.
- Sample /etc/dhcpd.conf for ISC DHCP Daemon.
- What is a Realtime OS
(by Valentin Pepelea).
- Local copy of Hacker HOWTO by ESR.
- Linus on the Linux Trademark.
- Linus' tree by Linus & Viro.
- How to apply patches:
My old way to use Linux kernel trees (non-hardlinked - this was too long ago).
- Makefile to build out-of-tree modules
on a Red Hat(r) Linux(tm) system, circa 7.2 (kernel 2.4).
- Makefile to build out-of-tree modules
on a Fedora Core 2 system (kernel 2.6).
- esr_halloween.html: ESR MS Halloween.
- lm-smp-20000126.txt:
Larry McVoy rants about SGI SMP and Numa. Historic interest, circa 2000.
- Example of .gtkrc.mine; tells how to
set default UI fonts for non-GNOME GTK+ applications, such as
gimp, xchat, jpilot.
- Linus moves to OSDL.
- Linus on __raw_writeb().
- LM on metrics for patch bloat.
A valliant attempt, but a doomed one.
- DaveM and AKPM on in-kernel
IRQ balancer.
- Roman's Kconfig HOWTO.
- Greg K-H's final udev.
- Rusty Russell's FAQ about modules in 2.6.
- Andy Glew and Anto Eartl about tagged
TLBs,
which are important on x86, because it has no explitic tagging.
- How to do sleep/wakeup in Linux.
Note: This is really old, from the times when
we struggled with users of sleep_on(). IIRC, it referred to kernel 2.2.
It is no longer needed to copy from datagram.c.
In kernel 2.6, refer to the implementation of wait_for_completion()
for a succint code example.
- Linus on GPL in October 2002.
- How to make gnome-moz-remote
to call Firefox instead of Mozilla
(the Preferred Application setting does not affect gnome-moz-remote).
- cycle.c: The C program to cycle DTR of a serial port.
This was used to reset a Westel DSL modem with some extra hardware
and a script (adsl-lost).
- C++ in kernel, as seen in 2006.
It's a never-ending saga and there's always a wise guy who wants it.
- Memo on continuation inodes
by Val Henson.
- Cheat sheet for USB control packet
by Alan Stern.
Non-computer
Transients
These are notes that would belong to Miscellanea section
but probably do not have a lasting value, and so do not deserve
to be there.
