[comp.os.linux.announce] Linus Torvalds Receives 1997 Nokia Foundation Award (fwd)

The Award is worth FIM 50,000. Nokia Foundation was formed in 1995 to support the development of scientific competence and educational capabilities of information and telecommunications technologies in Finland. This year the foundation also granted scholarships to 26 post-graduate students and five teams supporting interaction between universities and the industry. Additionally, the Foundation granted a visiting fellowship to two well-known professors to participate in study groups at the Finnish universities. The total of the Award, scholarship and fellowship is FIM 913,000. In selecting the award winner, the Foundation emphasized Linus Torvalds' excellent achievements in information and telecommunications technology and especially his inspiring example for young researchers. The Linux operating system developed by Torvalds is one of the most popular Unix operating systems, particularly on PC-based Web servers. In his speech today at the Nokia Foundation Grant Holder Announcement event, Nokia President and CEO Jorma Ollila emphasized the importance of education, research and development in maintaining the competitiveness of the Finnish telecoms industry. He commented that study time is too long in Finland: "If we could shorten the study time by one year, for example, and spend that time on effective research and development work, we would remarkably strengthen our national competitiveness". "This cannot mean sacrifices in quality," Ollila emphasized, "shortening the study time means making studies more effective, and not lowering their quality. This supports the way to learn to learn new things more in depth - a skill we will all need more and more often in the future. We will really need people with capabilities to learn and take in new things rapidly," Ollila noted. According to Ollila, increasingly more distinct goal setting and rapid enter to the market will be also increasingly more necessary for the research and development work. This should be evident in the internal projects of companies as well as in the public-funded projects. For further information, please contact: Mr Simo Luiro Nokia Research Center Tel.

Questions (Debian Install) (fwd)
Can someone please try and answer this guy? I afraid I can't do it my self. -- Forwarded message -- Date: Fri, 23 May 1997 08:57:30 -0700 From: David Cary <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Boris D. Beletsky" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Questions (Debian Install) Thanks again for your work on Debian. I started all over Yet Again, and I think I discovered a bug in my "latex" distribution that crashed the default setup (but I have documented a way to work around it). I told you before that I discovered the default Debian setup takes over 100 MB -- well, I was wrong. When I disable "latex" (didn't work anyway), the default Debian setup only takes about 77 MB of hard drive. >You can ask for my advice, I will be glad to help. Thanks. I've appended my new installation journal below. Jump to the end and answer that last question. I keep thinking I'm missing something simple when I read "man ls". Any other questions you answer will be bonus. (I'm thinking about posting this to comp.os.linux.setup, to get answers to questions that you miss). It took me a long time to discover the version of X I have doesn't work with my video card. I can't help thinking that it should have been more obvious, taken me less time. Ideally it would have been nice if, when setting up the X Windows package, it had read the card information from the video card, looked it up in a simple text database of supported cards, and printed the appropriate message -- "I think I found a card -- good", "I think I found a card, this is *not* supported because the manufacturer insists on a NDA", or -- in my case -- "I think I found a Trident GUI 9440AGi, we're not quite done with the drivers for this -- check http://***/***/*** to see if that version has it." David's Debian Journal "be sure to visit ... http://www.debian.org"; If I peek under the fan/heatsink off my CPU, it says: --- AMD Am5x86(tm)-P75 AMD-X5-133ADW 3.45 Volt Designed for Microsoft(r) Windows(R)95 --- bought the "Winter 1997 Linux Internet Archives" (seeing as how it's only May 1997 here) from Powell's for $24.85 -- that's only ($24.85/8 CDs) = $3.11/CD -- what a deal ! ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) A little confusion: the package talks about "The Slackware Derivative" and "the populare Slackware distribution are on CD-ROM 5." and "the /slackware directory", but on the CD-ROM labeled "Disc 5: Linux Internet Archives: Winter1997" there is only one directory in the root, named /debian. First, I made sure I had a proper "DOS 4" boot disk that will let me access my CD-ROM drive and included FDISK.exe and FORMAT.COM and edit.com. (I created this with Windows95:Start:Settings :ControlPanel:Add/RemovePrograms :SetupDisk :CreateDisk. One that "startup disk" was created, I ran Setup program that that came with my CD-ROM hardware to allow that startup disk to access the CD-ROM). Made sure I had taken everything off the hard drive and put somewhere else (backed up). After a lot of false trails (goose chases), I followed the cd-rom\debian\buzz\disks-I3\1996_6_1\install.htm (by Bruce Perens) closely. [The "Debian" installation is far superior to the "Slackware" installation. I don't know anything about "Red Hat"] I stuck in my boot floppy, Powered up my machine, pressed 'DEL' at the appropriate time. Stuck in "Disc 5"; and check my BIOS settings one more time. They look OK; install.html mentions [[ Extended vs. Expanded Memory If your system provides both extended and expanded memory, set it so that there is as much extended and as little expanded memory as possible. Linux requires extended memory and can not use expanded memory. ]] which doesn't make sense to me -- I thought that these options were set up via "config.sys" in DOS, *not* the BIOS. (Since Linux doesn't have "config.sys", I hope it Does the Right Thing). [[ Advanced Power Management If your motherboard provides Advanced Power Management (APM), configure it so that power management is controlled by APM. Disable the doze, standby, suspend, nap, and sleep modes, ]] I turn APM totally off, because last time: [[[ When I enable APM, "doze" cannot be disabled, but only delayed by 512 minutes. So I enabled APM, set Doze to "8 Min" (arbitrary value), and disabled the others. I press [enter] at the boot prompt; Whoopsies. I get a "APM BIOS ... Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address c4e0" message (with lots more gibberish). ]]] I "save CMOS changes and exist", and boot my DOS startup disk. Most people have a "C:" hard drive and a "D:" CD-ROM drive; or a "C:" and "D:" h
