Hi, I am trying to create a table with information from Shapiro Wilk's test of normality. However, it fails due to lack of sample size, it says, but the way I see it, this is not a problem. (See the table of sample sizes (almost) at the bottom). Applying a different function using a similar ftable call is not a problem (See the bottom table). This is R 2.1.0 on Linux (Gentoo). /Fredrik

Hi all! While I was having some fun, testing different filesystems at home and making some benchmarks, I hit a bug when running Postmark in an ext3 partition mounted with data=journal. I repeated this test twice and got the same results under Linux 2.5, also it was not found while mounting with data=writeback or data=ordered or under Linux 2.4. I don't know if it's a know problem or

Hallo I would like to have an image of about 8Mb to boot with ISOLINUX and MEMDISK. I am not able to create an image complete of the MBR, as MEMDISK requires. I think I should emulate an 8Mb disk in memory or on a file, but I am able to do so only for a 'single partition'. Could you please suggest me a way to obtain the image? I can use Linux or Windows tools, it does not matter.

I have a somewhat unique problem I am trying to solve that requires me to temporarily replace the first 63s of the main hard drive and boot the result. Basically, I am hoping it is possible to modify memdisk to serve requests for the first 63 sectors from a ram disk and pass other requests through to the hard drive. There will never be a read spanning the two, so I don't need it to be able to

Can anyone please tell me how to create a bootable 10MB hard disk image for use with memdisk? I'd like to use FreeDOS. And I know little of DOS. Thanks.

Hi, I am trying to load an disk image as Floppy=1, og B: using ISOLINUX. My Config file reads: ------- Begining Of File ------- KERNEL MEMDISK APPEND raw floppy=1 initrd=CERC6.IMG ------- End Of File ------------ --- MEMDISK Output Snip ------ Ramdisk at 0x03b58000, length 0x00168000 command line: initrd=CERC6.IMG raw floppy=1 BOOT_IMAGE=MEMDISK Disk is hard disk, 1440 K, C/H/S =

Has anybody tried to boot a dos disk via memdisk with a usb flash device as a primary hard drive? I have a 512MB flash key that when connected becomes my primary hard drive (new bios) - 0x80. If I boot a MS-DOS 7.10 floppy, one gets the command prompt and I can see the contents of my flash key as drive C:. But, if I make a image of the floppy and boot the image via memdisk, then memdisk

I've lurked on this list for a long time, and have learned many details on installing and using Ext3. Thanks! I'm finally posting to solicit feedback on my recently-published book on "Linux Filesystems". This book discusses the use, theory, and installation/integration of journaling and distributed filesystems on Linux, and also discusses what I call 'filesystem adapters'

Hi, I'm trying to create a hd image to use with memdisk: dd if=/dev/zero of=doshd.img bs=1024 count=16384 and, via qemu, I installed freedos: qemu -cdrom fdfullcd.iso -hda doshd.img -boot d Everything gone ok and qemu boots freedos normally. But, when I try to use the same image on memdisk the following message appears: Invalid Operation System! I used the same process on USB key, with

I just discovered the wonderful world of ISOLINUX/MEMDISK while investigating how to make a boot CD that doesnt have floppy disk size limitations on its boot images. One thing has struck me as very odd about MEMDISK though - its support for hard disk images is restricted to physical disk images (ie. containing MBR/partition table). It doesnt support individual partition images, despite the fact

Hello, I seemed to have encountered a problem with memdisk that I have seen before when I was playing around with USB device booting at one time. Here's the scenario: Take fx a image of a PC DOS bootable diskette. Boot the image via memdisk. This should boot fine if you use the built-in motherboard ide controllers (ide0,ide1). Now install a PCI IDE controller and put one IDE disk on the

Im trying to boot memtest86 via pxelinux, memdisk, I found this advice on http://forum.x86-secret.com/viewtopic.php?t=2906 folks are making the image match a floppy size by one of the following: dd if=memtest86+-1.xx.bin of=memtest.img bs=360k count=1 conv=sync or dd bs=360k count=1 conv=sync if=memtest86+-1.xx.bin|gzip > memtest.gz I did the former, it did suppress the warning/errors I saw

I have a 32MB HD image that I can pxelinux.0/memdisk boot without issue. I would like to both memdisk and my image on a CD and then boot from the CD with pxelinux.0. Is this possible? If so how? Thanks.

Are their any plans to allow compressed floppy images in later versions of memdisk? Right now Im using isolinux/memdisk on a cd with quite a few floppy images, each image has a different purpose as you can imagine. Many of the floppy imaages are not 'full' and would benifit greatly from compression. Is their a standard(ish) way to compress a floppy image, maybe compress is misleading, Id

Haven't yet had a need for 10MB FDD images. The biggest I had to create was 5MB (5760kb). At that time I had to use WinImage to create the FDD image and it took me a while to figure out the correct settings. My notes state: "I'm getting 'missing FAT' errors in WinImage, and 7-zip complains about 'unexpected end'. The fix is to increasing the FDD Heads from 2 to 4 and

How does one make a HD image? Floppy images are easy enough, but to have to create a hdimage, you need MBR and partitions, etc... I want to create a 10MB DOS HD and boot it, how would I do this with Linux? Thanks.
