| − |  The TROPIX (pronounced "trópix") is an Operating System of 32 
 |  | 
| − |  bit, multiuser and multitasking, philosophy of UNIX ®, developed 
 |  | 
| − |  the Center for Computer Electronics, Federal University of Rio 
 |  | 
| − |  January (NCE / UFRJ). 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |  The TROPIX was originally conceived during the years 1982 to 1986 
 |  | 
| − |  (at the time with the name PLURIX) to the computer PEGASUS. This 
 |  | 
| − |  computer was built in the NCE, and was based on 
 |  | 
| − |  MOTOROLA 68010/20 processor. Since its beginning, the system was 
 |  | 
| − |  designed for symmetric multiprocessing, operating in a 
 |  | 
| − |  PEGASUS 2 CPUs which had 68,020. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |  The system was shipped in 1987 to the computer ICARUS, 
 |  | 
| − |  based on these same processor, and added the 
 |  | 
| − |  support for real time. Was initiated in 1994 for the transport 
 |  | 
| − |  Intel line of processors (386, 486, Pentium), and since 1996 the 
 |  | 
| − |  TROPIX is already operating on PCs and is used in several 
 |  | 
| − |  computers. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |  In this version for PCs, is not yet completed the detection of 
 |  | 
| − |  motherboard with more than one CPU, which is necessary for the 
 |  | 
| − |  multiprocessing. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |  In relation to real time, has recently completed a thesis of 
 |  | 
| − |  Masters was developed in which a version of the core TROPIX 
 |  | 
| − |  in real time. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |  The TROPIX has several utilities, such as 
 |  | 
| − |  study / learning / use of an operating system 
 |  | 
| − |  UNIX philosophy, the development of programs (software) and 
 |  | 
| − |  implementation of servers to the Internet. Furthermore, it is ideal 
 |  | 
| − |  for use in courses on operating systems, it contains 
 |  | 
| − |  primitive to the "light" ( "threads"), memory 
 |  | 
| − |  shared, the level of user traffic lights, among others. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |  This text (which you're reading) contains introductory information 
 |  | 
| − |  on the distribution and installation of the system TROPIX. During the 
 |  | 
| − |  installation, it can be viewed / printed on your PC (see 
 |  | 
| − |  end of Chapter 8). In addition, it contains the information for 
 |  | 
| − |  Installation of X-Window Graphical Interface (Chapters 19 to 22), and 
 |  | 
| − |  information for installing / compiling the source code TROPIX 
 |  | 
| − |  (Chapters 23 and 24). 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |  The operating system is a TROPIX software free, and you are 
 |  | 
| − |  welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions, for details, 
 |  | 
| − |  type "man" license (after installation). 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |  Currently, the development and maintenance of TROPIX are 
 |  | 
| − |  made by Peter and Salenbauch Oswaldo Vernet. For more

| − |       ************************************************** ******* 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |  Conceptually, the operating system is similar to TROPIX 
 |  | 
| − |  UNIX type systems, although there are some differences. To 
 |  | 
| − |  unambiguous way of describing the installation procedure and use 
 |  | 
| − |  TROPIX of the PCs, use the conventions described below. Note 
 |  | 
| − |  and these conventions because they are used in TROPIX as a 
 |  | 
| − |  whole, including the system after installation. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |  Keystrokes <enter> means to press the key that has this name; 
 |  | 
| − |  typing <sp> (blank) means hit the space bar. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |  Keystrokes <^ D> means press both keys "ctl" and 
 |  | 
| − |  "D". By doing this, we first compress the key "ctl" 
 |  | 
| − |  (holding it compressed) and then press the key "D". 
 |  | 
| − |  Similarly, typing <^ A>, <^ B>, ... means to compress the keys 
 |  | 
| − |  "ctl" with "A", "B", ... On some keyboards, we have 
 |  | 
| − |  "ctrl" instead of "ctl". 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |  Keystrokes <ctl-alt-del> means compressing both the three 
 |  | 
| − |  keys displayed; hit <reset> means of compressing the button 
 |  | 
| − |  "reset" the PC that, in general, is in the office of the PC (and not in 
 |  | 
| − |  keyboard). 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |  Keystrokes "-fd0 tropix means hit the keys in sequence" - ", 
 |  | 
| − |  "f", "d", "0", <sp>, "t", "r", "the", "p", "i", "x" and <enter>. When 
 |  | 
| − |  specify a string for keyboard (such as 
 |  | 
| − |  given above) implicitly assume that a keyboard to <enter> 
 |  | 
| − |  end of the chain (unless it is explicitly stated the 
 |  | 
| − |  otherwise). 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |  We must remember that in TROPIX, as in all systems 
 |  | 
| − |  Operating similar to UNIX, uppercase characters are 
 |  | 
| − |  Different lowercase letters. In the above example, therefore, not 
 |  | 
| − |  must compress the key <Shift> because the letters to be generated 
 |  | 
| − |  are all lowercase. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |  Some of the commands may request a TROPIX 
 |  | 
| − |  information / confirmation of action. This request is identified by a 
 |  | 
| − |  "prompt" that can be a character or a string that 
 |  | 
| − |  system writes to the screen. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |  In TROPIX, some of the "prompt" s contain a string 
 |  | 
| − |  brackets before a "." This means that typing 
 |  | 
| − |  chain or simply typing <enter> have the same effect. This 
 |  | 
| − |  string of characters is called the "default", ie what 
 |  | 
| − |  will be interpreted by the lack of a string 
 |  | 
| − |  explicitly keyboard. 
 |  |

| − |       Loads (fd0, tropix)? (s): 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |  is equivalent typing "s" followed by <enter> or simply 
 |  | 
| − |  <enter>, which means "yes." If you want to answer "no", 
 |  | 
| − |  we have to hit "n" followed by <enter>. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |  In some commands, an answer with a capital letter ( "S" or "N") 
 |  | 
| − |  means that this and all subsequent questions are 
 |  | 
| − |  answered automatically (yes to "S" and 
 |  | 
| − |  negatively to "N"). The manual for each command (see below) 
 |  | 
| − |  information if it follows this convention. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |  In TROPIX, usually, the system stops writing to the screen 
 |  | 
| − |  complete a screen (24 lines). This is convenient because the user 
 |  | 
| − |  have time to read the text without a new text replaces the text 
 |  | 
| − |  current that (maybe) has not yet been read. To continue 
 |  | 
| − |  writing the text simply typing <^ Q>. Besides, an output on the screen 
 |  | 
| − |  can be stopped at any time by typing <^ S>. This can be 
 |  | 
| − |  changed by the command "stty" (see below). 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |  When entering the "multiplayer" (see below) the TROPIX offers 8 
 |  | 
| − |  independent virtual screens. The switching between the virtual screens 
 |  | 
| − |  is done by typing <^ S> (to stop the output in the virtual screen 
 |  | 
| − |  current), followed by the number of the virtual screen to which want 
 |  | 
| − |  ir (1 to 8), and finally, <^ Q> (to activate the new screen output 
 |  | 
| − |  virtual). Note that the number of the current virtual screen is displayed 
 |  | 
| − |  in the center of the last line. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |  With certain combinations of keys, used sequentially, we can 
 |  | 
| − |  generate special characters. Thus, typing up ", to" get "a" and 
 |  | 
| − |  with "c" get "C". With this method we can get almost all 
 |  | 
| − |  vowels of strong Western languages. If you do not want this 
 |  | 
| − |  composition, just typing "\" between the characters. Thus, 
 |  | 
| − |  example, if keyboard "~ \ the" get "-a".

| − |   the rootdev ", ie the device's root system. This parameter 
 |  | 
| − |   contains the value nodev (ie undefined), and the initialization of 
 |  | 
| − |   core, it seeks a suitable root. The order of search is: 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |      1. TROPIX partitions of hard drives (eg "hda2a"); 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |      2. devices simulating disks from files 
 |  | 
| − |         MS-DOS/Windows (eg "MD1"); 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |      3. CDROMs (eg "hdb" or "sdb"). 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |      4. disks (eg "fd0"). 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   We can change the value "default", with a <raiz desejada> 
 |  | 
| − |   through 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |           rootdev = <raiz desejada> 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   and then typing <^ D>. This is useful, for example, when it 
 |  | 
| − |   we have a root partition on a hard disk or file 
 |  | 
| − |   MS-DOS/Windows and want to start a new installation from the 
 |  | 
| − |   CDROM or floppy.

| − |   |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   Note that the keyboard was that after "LOGIN" is the name of the account ( "root" 
 |  | 
| − |   in the case) and that the keyboard was after "Password" is that their 
 |  | 
| − |   password ( "tropix" in case). This means that we are using 
 |  | 
| − |   the "root", which is the superuser account with credentials (almost)

| − |   This chapter contains information only for installation by 
 |  | 
| − |   floppy disks. If you are installing from a CDROM, you can 
 |  | 
| − |   skip it. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   Note that the collection "tropix.tgz" contains the image of 2 disks, 
 |  | 
| − |   BOOT and GAR1. The BOOT disk, has been created in Chapter 6. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   If you have a partition DOS / Windows or NTFS on your FAT16/32 
 |  | 
| − |   computer, creating a floppy GAR1 may be waived. The idea 
 |  | 
| − |   is to copy the image to a directory "\ TROPIX" partition 
 |  | 
| − |   DOS / Windows. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |      1. If you use a UNIX system, you must use the commands 
 |  | 
| − |         type: 
 |  | 
| − |                   mount / dev/hda1 / mnt 
 |  | 
| − |                   mkdir / mnt / TROPIX

 |  | 
| − |                   umount / dev/hda1 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |         where "/ dev/hda1" may be replaced by another partition 
 |  | 
| − |         DOS / Windows you want. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |         If your partition is NTFS, find out if your UNIX system 
 |  | 
| − |         supports the writing in these file systems, many 
 |  | 
| − |         UNIX systems (including Linux) support in general only 
 |  | 
| − |         reading). 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |      2. If you use WinXP/Win2000/WinNT/Win98/Win95/Win3.x should 
 |  | 
| − |         use the "Windows Explorer" to create the directory 
 |  | 
| − |         "C: \ TROPIX" and then copy the file "gar1.dsk" for the 
 |  | 
| − |         directory created. Instead of "C", can be used another 
 |  | 
| − |         desired partition. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   If you do not have a partition DOS / Windows or NTFS on your FAT16/32 
 |  | 
| − |   computer, or is wanting to install on another computer TROPIX, 
 |  | 
| − |   GAR1 the disk must be created. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   This should be done the way already seen in Chapter 6 of course 
 |  | 
| − |   susbtituindo to "boot.dsk" by "gar1.dsk. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   Use diskettes new, of good quality. Many of the errors

| − |   There are two ways to install the disk TROPIX: 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |      1. In the TROPIX own partitions. This mode offers the best 
 |  | 
| − |         performance, but the installation requires a certain care. 
 |  | 
| − |         Can be optionally installed a manager "boot", 
 |  | 
| − |         to allow the choice of operating system to load. 
 |  | 
| − |         Follow the sequence of chapters 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |      2. In MS-DOS/Windows files. This mode does not offer a 
 |  | 
| − |         performance as good and "boot" of TROPIX will always be 
 |  | 
| − |         via CDROM or floppy, but the installation is more 
 |  | 
| − |         simple. See the chapters 11, 16 and 17. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   We suggest you read this guide to the end, before starting the 
 |  | 
| − |   installation, so you'll have a better overview and can evaluate 
 |  | 
| − |   the various options appropriately. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   The procedures for the installation of TROPIX described here were 
 |  | 
| − |   made for the installation takes place without setbacks. In 
 |  | 
| − |   However, it is possible that (by neglect of the user) is the loss of 
 |  | 
| − |   existing files on your computer and / or the operating system 
 |  | 
| − |   original (eg MS-DOS/Windows) can not run more. 
 |  | 
| − |   This may occur mainly due to the misuse of 
 |  | 
| − |   editor of partitions "fdisk" (Chapter 13). 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   Even during normal use of the system (after installation 
 |  | 
| − |   correct), it is possible to accidentally remove files 
 |  | 
| − |   MS-DOS/Windows for use with mounted FAT partition, or using 
 |  | 
| − |   the "dosmp. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   Although we have tested the operation of the system, believing that 
 |  | 
| − |   it does not contain any serious error, where there is theoretically a 
 |  | 
| − |   possibility that, through some error still unknown, 
 |  | 
| − |   is affected some other operating system. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  |

| − |   This mode offers a performance not as good as the installation of 
 |  | 
| − |   Partitions in TROPIX own, in contrast, the installation is more 
 |  | 
| − |   simply because it is not necessary to rearrange the partitions of the disk. 
 |  | 
| − |   This method is only possible with file systems FAT-16 or 
 |  | 
| − |   FAT-32, is still not possible with NTFS. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   The idea is to use an existing partition of 
 |  | 
| − |   MS-DOS/Windows it and create the directory "\ TROPIX" containing 2 
 |  | 
| − |   files: "ROOT" and "HOME". These files will contain the systems 
 |  | 
| − |   TROPIX files and load the system will be done through CDROM 
 |  | 
| − |   or floppy disk. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   The steps of the installation are: 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |      1. Initially it is interesting to verify the integrity of 
 |  | 
| − |         MS-DOS/Windows partition chosen. For this use the 
 |  | 
| − |         CHKDSK utility or SCANDISK (MS-DOS or Windows). 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |         Another option is to use NDD (Norton Disk Doctor) of "NORTON 
 |  | 
| − |         Utilities. "Note the size of available free space of 
 |  | 
| − |         partition chosen: for a normal installation are 
 |  | 
| − |         required 128 MB. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |      2. As a second step, we defragment the partition 
 |  | 
| − |         chosen. This means compress all files 
 |  | 
| − |         MS-DOS/Windows the beginning of the partition, so it is 
 |  | 
| − |         only a free area at the end, which will create the 2 
 |  | 
| − |         files in the directory "\ TROPIX. This can be done by 
 |  | 
| − |         Defrag utility (MS-DOS or Windows) or the DISK SPEED 
 |  | 
| − |         the "Norton Utilities". 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |      3. Enter the BOOT ROM or floppy disk and load the TROPIX 
 |  | 
| − |         system (as in chapter 8). Log in multiuser mode. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |      4. Go to the directory "/ usr / etc / install" (use the command "cd 
 |  | 
| − |         / usr / etc / install "). The normal installation will occupy 128 MB of 
 |  | 
| − |         MS-DOS/Windows your partition (64 MB for the ROOT, 64 MB for 
 |  | 
| − |         HOME), which is sufficient for the graphical interface 
 |  | 
| − |         X-Window. If you have this space available and is 
 |  | 
| − |         happy with it, go to step 5. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |         To change the size of the installation, just edit the file 
 |  | 
| − |         "install.dos" (see chapter 25, for an introduction to the use 
 |  | 
| − |         the text editor "vi"). To change the size of a 
 |  | 
| − |         file, simply change the number after the line that 
 |  | 
| − |         starting with "mkfile. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |      5. Start the installation, typing the command "install.dos.

| − |         need an additional disk (whose content will be lost) 
 |  | 
| − |         to be used for the loading of TROPIX. Follow the instructions.

| − |   |  | 
| − |         If you want to keep an older version of system 
 |  | 
| − |         HOME files, DO NOT delete the file MS-DOS/Windows HOME 
 |  | 
| − |         (disregard the message "The file" home "already exists") and

| − |         respond affirmatively to the question "Want to keep the 
 |  | 
| − |         older version of HOME ". 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |      6. Congratulations! The TROPIX is already installed and operational in its 
 |  | 
| − |         hard disk. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |         If you want to run TROPIX, simply reload the 
 |  | 
| − |         system (<ctl-alt-del> typing or <reset>) with the CDROM or the 
 |  | 
| − |         DOS floppy disk inserted. In the case of the CDROM, it is necessary 
 |  | 
| − |         modify the system root for "MD1" during loading of 
 |  | 
| − |         nucleus (ie, type 'MD1 = rootdev). 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |         If the CDROM and floppy are not entered, will 
 |  | 
| − |         loading the operating system standard (eg 
 |  | 
| − |         MS-DOS/Windows). To exit the TROPIX, use the command 
 |  | 
| − |         "shutdown". 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |      7. To uninstall TROPIX its MS-DOS/Windows partition, 
 |  | 
| − |         simply remove the directory "\ TROPIX" (along with their 2 
 |  | 
| − |         files). 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   To facilitate the future installation of a new version of TROPIX, 
 |  | 
| − |   recommend placing your files only on your private 
 |  | 
| − |   the "home" (the file name starting with "/ home /...").

| − |   To install the partitions in TROPIX own (which enables the 
 |  | 
| − |   best performance) to have a basic concept of how 
 |  | 
| − |   are organized on PC hard drives. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   Each disc is divided into one or more sections called 
 |  | 
| − |   "partitions". Each of these partitions is designed to be used by 
 |  | 
| − |   an operating system (in some cases some of the partitions can 
 |  | 
| − |   be shared by two or more operating systems). 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   We can have up to 4 partitions "regular" (or "primary") in each 
 |  | 
| − |   disc. If this number is not enough, we can define one of 
 |  | 
| − |   partitions as the type "extended", which may contain several 
 |  | 
| − |   other (sub-) partitions partitions called "logical". 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   Users of MS-DOS/Windows certainly have had contact with 
 |  | 
| − |   partitions, since these systems each partition receives a letter, 
 |  | 
| − |   starting from "C". Thus, we have partitions "C", "D", "E", ... 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   The nomenclature used in TROPIX is quite different set of letters 
 |  | 
| − |   above. Let's consider a computer with one IDE disk. The 
 |  | 
| − |   four partitions are called "hda1", "hda2", "hda3" and 
 |  | 
| − |   "hda4. If one is "extended" for example "hda3" she 
 |  | 
| − |   contain the (sub-) partitions "logical" hda3a "," hda3b, "... Besides 
 |  | 
| − |   this, we have "hda" to represent the disc as a whole. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   If your computer has more of an IDE disk, the second is the 
 |  | 
| − |   "hdb ..." instead of "hda ..." (simply replace the "at" with "b" in 
 |  | 
| − |   example above). If your computer has SCSI disks, the names will be 
 |  | 
| − |   "sda ..."," sdb ...", ... (simply replace the "h" in "s" in the example 
 |  | 
| − |   above). 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   As already mentioned, we have only one extended partition. By 
 |  | 
| − |   this, in TROPIX was a new type of partition 
 |  | 
| − |   extended (the extended partition type TROPIX), structurally 
 |  | 
| − |   identical to the original, but with a different identification code. The 
 |  | 
| − |   objective is to enable the grouping of all (sub-) partitions 
 |  | 
| − |   TROPIX desired in only one partition (extended) alone, even 
 |  | 
| − |   which is already an extended partition traditional (we call 
 |  | 
| − |   kind of). 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   Choosing the distribution of its multiple partitions (one or 
 |  | 
| − |   mais) disks, must be taken into account how many disks are 
 |  | 
| − |   present, how many partitions are needed / already allocated, ... 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   In the example of the next chapter, we create a (new) partition 
 |  | 
| − |   Extended (Type TROPIX) to include all partitions TROPIX. 
 |  | 
| − |   This is a simple and elegant, it only need 
 |  | 
| − |   particiju vague.

| − |   |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   Naturally, we can also create a partition for each regular 
 |  | 
| − |   TROPIX desired partition, or adding new partitions 
 |  | 
| − |   logical TROPIX a DOS extended partition already exists. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   For the purpose of "boot", the file system of ROOT can TROPIX 
 |  | 
| − |   be allocated to any partition of any disk. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   If space is available in more than one hard disk, 
 |  | 
| − |   strongly advised to distribute the partitions between the various 
 |  | 
| − |   discs.

| − |   MS-DOS/Windows in a partition of smaller size. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   A third possibility is to reduce the partition 
 |  | 
| − |   MS-DOS/Windows in their location (ie, without destroying the 
 |  | 
| − |   its contents). This can be done by the command "chsize" of 
 |  | 
| − |   utility "dosmp. You can also use the "fips" of 
 |  | 
| − |   LINUX, or the program Partition Magic, Powerquest's name, if 
 |  | 
| − |   you by chance have the. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   Before using the command "chsize", to reduce the size of 
 |  | 
| − |   MS-DOS/Windows partition, it is essential to verify its integrity and 
 |  | 
| − |   defragmenting it. The verification of integrity can be made by 
 |  | 
| − |   CHKDSK utility or SCANDISK (the MS-DOS/Windows) or NDD 
 |  | 
| − |   (Norton Disk Doctor) of "Norton Utilities". The defragmentação can 
 |  | 
| − |   be made by the defrag utility (the MS-DOS/Windows), or the SPEED 
 |  | 
| − |   DISK of "Norton Utilities". 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   Remember that the programs of defragmentation may NOT 
 |  | 
| − |   move the file to swap the MS-DOS/Windows. You must remove it 
 |  | 
| − |   (using the "Control Panel") and then reinstall it. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   If you or MIRROR IMAGE USA, the last sector of the partition contains a 
 |  | 
| − |   file "hidden" name of "\ image.idx" or "\ mirorsav.fil. You must 
 |  | 
| − |   remove this file (using "attrib" and "del"). It will be recreated 
 |  | 
| − |   the next time you run or MIRROR IMAGE (we hope, 
 |  | 
| − |   not tested). 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   Another source of problems are the files named "* \ desktop .*", the 
 |  | 
| − |   which Windows does not move: they must be saved and later 
 |  |

 |  | 
| − |   |  |

| − |   This is the best way, it offers the best performance and 
 |  | 
| − |   allows the installation of "boot0," a manager "boot". This 
 |  | 
| − |   manager allows the choice of operating system to load (from 
 |  | 
| − |   TROPIX way that can be loaded without the use of CDROM or 
 |  | 
| − |   diskette). He has been tested with Linux, FreeBSD and 
 |  | 
| − |   DOS/WinXP/Win2000/WinNT/Win98/Win95/Win3.x. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   If you're reading this chapter, we assume that you already have space in 
 |  | 
| − |   TROPIX disk partitions and have to learn how to use the editor, 
 |  | 
| − |   partitions "fdisk". 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   The idea is to create two or more partitions for TROPIX. The 
 |  | 
| − |   minimum is to create a root partition. We recommend, however, 
 |  | 
| − |   create at least one more, HOME, to contain the files 
 |  | 
| − |   private users. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   If you have 128 MB available, we suggest 64 MB and 64 MB for ROOT 
 |  | 
| − |   for HOME, these sizes will be sufficient even for 
 |  | 
| − |   X-Window graphical interface. If you have more space available, you can 
 |  | 
| − |   increase the sizes of partitions, or to create partitions 
 |  | 
| − |   additional. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   The steps of the installation are: 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |      1. Create partitions for TROPIX by the editor of 
 |  | 
| − |         partitions "fdisk" (see chapter 13). DO NOT forget to 
 |  | 
| − |         "enable" the root partition. It is not necessary that the partition 
 |  | 
| − |         ROOT (which will be given the "boot") is the first disc. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |         We suggest creating an extended partition type to TROPIX 
 |  | 
| − |         contain the various partitions needed / desired, that the 
 |  | 
| − |         But it is not necessary: it is more convenient for your 
 |  | 
| − |         case, the partitions TROPIX may also be of the "regular" 
 |  | 
| − |         ( "primary"), or logical partitions within a 
 |  | 
| − |         DOS extended partition type. If you have more than one 
 |  | 
| − |         disk, it is interesting to distribute the various partitions by 
 |  | 
| − |         disks. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |      2. Enter the BOOT ROM or floppy disk and load the TROPIX 
 |  | 
| − |         system (as in chapter 8). Log in multiuser mode. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |      3. Go to the directory "/ usr / etc / install" (use the command "cd 
 |  | 
| − |         / usr / etc / install "). Start the installation via the command 
 |  | 
| − |         "install". This step creates file systems in TROPIX

 |  | 
| − |   mount. Read the manual of "fstab" (fmt), "getmntent" (libc) and 
 |  | 
| − |   "mount" (cmd). In particular, if you do not have the partition HOME, 
 |  | 
| − |   remove the line from "/ etc / fstab." 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   From time to time (say once a week) is interesting 
 |  | 
| − |   check the integrity of file systems. Thus, after 
 |  | 
| − |   the load of the system (still in the "single"), use the command 
 |  | 
| − |   "fsck". Note that the file "/ etc / fstab" also controls the 
 |  | 
| − |   file systems examined by "fsck" (to put the 
 |  | 
| − |   "/ dev / root" as the last in the list). For a list of all 
 |  | 
| − |   partitions in different disks on your computer, use 
 |  | 
| − |   "prdisktb. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   Through the command "edscb" you can change the computer name 
 |  | 
| − |   ( "nodename") and set the ports / IRQs of your devices (ports 
 |  | 
| − |   serial, parallel, "ethernet", ...). Use "man SCB" and "man edscb. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   The TROPIX is distributed in the DMA of the IDE controllers off, 
 |  | 
| − |   as with certain drivers can cause problems. Try 
 |  | 
| − |   connect it via "dmaenable = 1", initially during the "boot" 
 |  | 
| − |   to test, and if working properly, the file "/ tropix" 
 |  | 
| − |   through the utility "edscb. With this, you will increase the 
 |  | 
| − |   performance of your IDE hard disks. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   Read Chapter 26, which is given a list of key commands 
 |  | 
| − |   the TROPIX. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   Learn to use the "history" of the "sh". It allows rerun 
 |  |

 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   Although the TROPIX is a UNIX system of philosophy, some 
 |  | 
| − |   unique characteristics that are not found in other 
 |  | 
| − |   such systems. Below are given some of these 
 |  | 
| − |   originalities: 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |      1. In most UNIX systems, when a file list 
 |  | 
| − |         several pages in the video, it "rolls" off the screen before 
 |  | 
| − |         can read it. We then use the command "more" in the form 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |                   cat texto.txt | more 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |         or, 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |                   more texto.txt 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |         This is the case, too, if we use the command "ls-l" with 
 |  | 
| − |         directories containing many files. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |         In TROPIX, this is not necessary, the output of the video is paused 
 |  | 
| − |         when she completes the number of lines visible. To 
 |  | 
| − |         continue to output the video, just hit <^ Q>. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |         This can be changed via the command "stty" (see 
 |  | 
| − |         the manual). 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |      2. The utility "show" allows you to view a text file 
 |  | 
| − |         so should the video, can advance / rewind 
 |  | 
| − |         on the text with commands similar to the text editor 
 |  | 
| − |         "vi". It is especially useful for examining the output of a 
 |  | 
| − |         program, using a "pipe" (see manual). 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |      3. The command "extend": This utility is an extension of the "tar", 
 |  | 
| − |         Standard UNIX world. The "crease", and create / extract collections 
 |  | 
| − |         of the "tar", collections of extracting the "cpio", he 
 |  | 
| − |         create / extract / compare / add collections of the format itself 
 |  | 
| − |         ( "GAR") with / without compression. You certainly have used the 
 |  | 
| − |         "extend" to install the TROPIX (see manual). 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |      4. The utilities "cmptree / cptree" allow 
 |  | 
| − |         copy / compare / update the file system tree 
 |  | 
| − |         places to own computers (see the manual). 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |      5. The family of utilities "tcmpto" allows 
 |  | 
| − |         copy / compare / update the file system tree 
 |  | 
| − |         to / from the local computer and a remote computer through 
 |  | 
| − |         own protocol for TCP / IP (see the manual).

| − |   The X-Window system for TROPIX is a graphical interface based on 
 |  | 
| − |   version 4.7.0 distributed by the XFree86 consortium. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   This version includes specific servers for some of 
 |  | 
| − |   graphics cards more usual. Besides, are distributed to 
 |  | 
| − |   Client minimum necessary for the functioning of the system. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   Although the modern monitors have circuitry to protect 
 |  | 
| − |   against the use frequencies with horizontal and vertical undue, 
 |  | 
| − |   theoretically there is always the possibility of damaging your 
 |  | 
| − |   monitor. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   WE DO NOT LIABLE FOR THESE POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO YOUR

| − |   This chapter contains information only for installation by 
 |  | 
| − |   floppy disks. If you are installing from a CDROM, you can 
 |  | 
| − |   skip it. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   The distribution of the graphical interface X-Window is done by 
 |  | 
| − |   collection "xwin.tgz": get it from the page of TROPIX 
 |  | 
| − |   ( "http://tropix.nce.ufrj.br). 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   Once having obtained this collection, it is necessary to prepare the 2 
 |  | 
| − |   files or create the 2 disks, 3 ½ ". It contains the following 
 |  | 
| − |   files: 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |                   fdimage.exe 
 |  | 
| − |                   xwin1.dsk 
 |  | 
| − |                   xwin2.dsk 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   The file "fdimage.exe" is a copy utility for Windows 
 |  | 
| − |   (You probably already has it, obtained during the installation of TROPIX 
 |  | 
| − |   basic), and the remaining files are the contents of 2 disks. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   As in the case of TROPIX basic, if you have a partition 
 |  | 
| − |   DOS / Windows FAT16/32 or NTFS on your computer, the creation of 
 |  | 
| − |   XWIN1 disks and XWIN2 may be waived. Follow the script 
 |  | 
| − |   Chapter 9 (replacing "gar1" by "xwin1" and "xwin2). 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   As with disks or files prepared from the system 
 |  | 
| − |   TROPIX (as superuser), go to the directory "/ usr / etc / install", 
 |  | 
| − |   and run the command 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |                   install.xwin 
 |  |

| − |   Once installed all the files from the X-Window Graphical Interface 
 |  | 
| − |   (if you are installing via the CDROM that is automatic for 
 |  | 
| − |   case of disks see chapter above), we give below the 
 |  | 
| − |   method step by step to the system configuration. This should be 
 |  | 
| − |   done as superuser. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |      1. Setting the "internet": She is running to at least 
 |  | 
| − |         access to internal ( "loopback"), that normally, the 
 |  | 
| − |         installation of TROPIX already held. For details, see 
 |  | 
| − |         the manual "internet" (via the command "man"). 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |      2. Specification of "mouse": The system is configured for 
 |  | 
| − |         "mouse" PS / 2. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |         For other types of mouse, the file 
 |  | 
| − |         "/ usr / xwin / conf / xconfig" should be edited. If your "mouse" 
 |  | 
| − |         for serial (COM1, COM2) or USB, move the two characters "#" 
 |  | 
| − |         lines of its type "mouse" to the two lines of 
 |  | 
| − |         "mouse" PS / 2. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |         Use the "dmesg" to check if, during loading 
 |  | 
| − |         system, the "mouse" is being recognized. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |      3. Implementation of server-mode 16 colors (4 bits). 
 |  | 
| − |         Initially the configuration file 
 |  | 
| − |         "/ usr / xwin / conf / xconfig" is ready to run 
 |  | 
| − |         server on the standard VGA graphics mode, 16 colors and 
 |  | 
| − |         resolution of 640x480 and 800x600. This method should work with 
 |  | 
| − |         any video card, and will be its (only) option if your 
 |  | 
| − |         plate has not succeed in attempts below. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |         Thus, simply typing the command "startx" (without having changed 
 |  | 
| − |         the configuration file). The system starts with the bottom 
 |  | 
| − |         Standard TROPIX, two windows "xterm", a clock and 
 |  | 
| − |         selector of "desktops". In each window "xterm" is 
 |  | 
| − |         run the interpreter of standard commands "sh". 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |         To return to text mode, the simplest way is typing 
 |  | 
| − |         <ctl-alt-bs> simultaneously. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |         This is the most basic mode of operation of the system 
 |  | 
| − |         X-Window, if it does not work send us the files 
 |  | 
| − |         "/ var / log / xwin / xserver.log" and "/ var / log / xwin / xclients.log" 
 |  | 
| − |         to address in Chapter 1. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |      4. Determination of the graphics card: Once in the operating mode 
 |  | 
| − |         16 colors, we can see if there is the possibility of

 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |                   DefaultColorDepth 4

 |  | 
| − |         file "/ var / log / xwin / xserver.log.

| − |         TRIDENT or, using 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |                   Device "nv" 
 |  | 
| − |         or 
 |  | 
| − |                   Device "trident" 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |      5. If your graphics card is not one of the above, or the 
 |  | 
| − |         above attempts were unsuccessful, you can only (in

| − |   As with the system in operation, we have (with the already mentioned 
 |  | 
| − |   above), two windows "xterm", a clock and a selector of 
 |  | 
| − |   "desktops". 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   The small window "xterm" is superior to the "console", and should not be 
 |  | 
| − |   normally used, since it will be written to the error messages 
 |  | 
| − |   operating system. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   To move a window, click and drag the button on the left of 
 |  | 
| − |   "mouse" in the frame of the window. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   To change the size of a window, click and drag the button to 
 |  | 
| − |   left of the "mouse" in one of the 4 corners of the window (not all 
 |  | 
| − |   windows admit this). 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   To promote a window (ie, put it in front of others), 
 |  | 
| − |   click the button in the left frame of the window. To demote it 
 |  | 
| − |   (ie put it behind the other), click the button on the right 
 |  | 
| − |   frame of the window. If you have a mouse, 3 buttons, you can 
 |  | 
| − |   also promote a window with the middle mouse button. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   The button on the left, clicked out of any window, presents a 
 |  | 
| − |   "menu" of tools, plus the option to exit the graphics mode 
 |  | 
| − |   (back to text mode). The button on the right, clicked off 
 |  | 
| − |   any window, displays a list of active windows. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   Everything that has been described so far is the "desktop" 0. 
 |  | 
| − |   Clicking on another selector of "desktop" (on the bottom 
 |  | 
| − |   right), you will have a new space for the creation of independent 
 |  | 
| − |   windows. You have (in this configuration), 6 "desktops".

 |  | 
| − |        ************************************************** ******* 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   The source code is distributed TROPIX through 3 files 
 |  | 
| − |   "kernel.tgz" (the core system), "lib.tgz" (the library) and 
 |  | 
| − |   "cmd.tgz" (the tools). These are collections of compressed TAR 
 |  | 
| − |   through the utility "gzip". 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   Once a collection "*. tgz" through a browser, should 
 |  | 
| − |   decompress it. This can be done in several ways: 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |      1. If you stored the collection "*. tgz 'in a file system 
 |  | 
| − |         DOS / Windows FAT16/32 and is installed with the TROPIX may 
 |  | 
| − |         access it directly through the TROPIX, mounting the partition 
 |  | 
| − |         with a command of the form 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |              mount / dev/hda1 / mnt 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |         Then unpack it with: 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |              cd / mnt / ... (Directory TROPIX) 
 |  | 
| − |              gunzip *. tgz (name of collection) 
 |  | 
| − |              crease-ixv <*. tar (name of the collection obtained TAR) 
 |  | 
| − |              rm *. tar (Remove the collection TAR) 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |      2. If your partition DOS / Windows is NTFS (as it is only of 
 |  | 
| − |         reading), the above procedure should be performed after 
 |  | 
| − |         copy the file "*. tgz" for a partition TROPIX. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |      3. If you are using a UNIX system, you should use the 
 |  | 
| − |         utility "gunzip" and "tar." Check the details in your 
 |  | 
| − |         UNIX system. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |      4. If you are only using Windows, you can decompress the collection 
 |  | 
| − |         with the "Winzip" and read each of the programs through 
 |  | 
| − |         of utilities "Notepad", "Wordpad" or "Word," among others.

| − |   Below we give guidelines for compiling the various components of 
 |  | 
| − |   distribution of source code TROPIX: 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |      1. NUCLEUS OF THE SYSTEM: Once the tree with the core installed 
 |  | 
| − |         TROPIX in, you can compile the various modules that 
 |  | 
| − |         part: "boot/boot0", "boot/boot1", "boot/boot2" and 
 |  | 
| − |         "kernel". 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |         In each of the directories is the "Makefile" to control 
 |  | 
| − |         their compilation. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |         Note that in the "kernel" for the file "scbfile.v" that 
 |  | 
| − |         contains parameters to configure your kernel in particular 
 |  | 
| − |         (see "edscb" (cmd)). 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |      2. LIBRARIES: At the root of the tree is a "Makefile" for 
 |  | 
| − |         compilation of all 4 libraries. If desired, you can 
 |  | 
| − |         be compiled each one separately (going to the 
 |  | 
| − |         corresponding directory). 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |      3. BUSINESS: At the root of the tree is a "Makefile" for 
 |  | 
| − |         compilation of all utilities. If desired, may be 
 |  | 
| − |         each separately compiled (going to the directory 
 |  | 
| − |         appropriate).

| − |   The utility "vi" is the editor of texts "pattern" of schemes 
 |  | 
| − |   operational philosophy of UNIX. This chapter will be given 
 |  | 
| − |   short introduction to its use, enough to make changes 
 |  | 
| − |   in the configuration files (which may be required) 
 |  | 
| − |   during the installation of TROPIX. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   More details can be seen (later with the system 
 |  | 
| − |   on a regular basis), by "man vi" or "man-g 
 |  | 
| − |   vi. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   To edit a file (for example, the name "abc"), keyboard "vi 
 |  | 
| − |   abc "and" vi "starts its operation showing the first 
 |  | 
| − |   page file "abc" with the cursor on the first character of 
 |  | 
| − |   first line. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   We can then use the following commands (note that the cursor 
 |  | 
| − |   indicates where the command will be executed): 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |        <sp> Goes (the cursor from) a character on the line. 
 |  | 
| − |        Back <bs> a character on the line. 
 |  | 
| − |        "-" Back one line in the file. 
 |  | 
| − |        <enter> Goes a line in the file. 
 |  | 
| − |        <^ D> Go half a page in the file. 
 |  | 
| − |        <^ U> Back half page in the file. 
 |  | 
| − |        "1" Back to the top of the file. 
 |  | 
| − |        "g" Goes to the end of the file. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |        i Inserts text before cursor (up to a <esc>). 
 |  | 
| − |        "a" Inserts text after the cursor (up to a <esc>). 
 |  | 
| − |        "the" creates new line and insert text (up to a <esc>). 
 |  | 
| − |        "x" Remove the character indicated by the cursor. 
 |  | 
| − |        "dd" Remove a line. 
 |  | 
| − |        "yyp" Copy a row. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |        "/..." Search string "..." 
 |  | 
| − |        n Find the next occurrence of the chain. 
 |  | 
| − |        "N" Find the previous occurrence of string. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |        "." Repeats the last command for editing. 
 |  | 
| − |        "u" Undo the last command for editing. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |        "w" Upgrade the. 
 |  | 
| − |        "q" Get off the "vi" (only if the file is updated). 
 |  | 
| − |        ": q!" Get the "vi" without updating the file. 
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   Note that the file being edited ( "abc" in the case) will only be 
 |  | 
| − |   updated when given the command "w". If you made 
 |  | 
| − |   accidentally change any unwanted, we can leave the "vi" 
 |  | 
| − |   with the command ": q!", saving the file to its original form.
