Logging into a TROPIX system
Type: Multitasking, multiuser
Creator: UFRJ
Architecture: 68010, IBMPC
This Version: 4.9.0 (Dec 2008)
Date Released: 1985


TROPIX got it's start after UFRJ could not secure a source license to AT&T UNIX. So they decided to write their own. Using a Version 7 68000 machine, they were able to clone out their own system. For a while the project seemed dead with the mainstream arrival of Linux, however there has been some new activity on the TROPIX front.

System requirements

Intel 486/PENTIUM or equivalent.
8MB of ram for text mode, 16MB of ram for X11.
IDE/ATA/SATA.
SCSI controllers:

  • Adaptec 1542 (ISA)
  • 2940/29160 (PCI).

Ethernet controllers:

  • (NE1000, NE2000 ISA/PCI)
  • 3Com 3c503
  • Realtek RTL 8129/8139

USB
PCI Modems

  • U.S. Robotics 56K PCI

Sound Cards

  • Sound Blaster 16

How do I get this to run?!

First you'll need some instructions. This is the google translated instructions:

 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

 News of version "3.2.3" 

      This version "contained as the main novelty library 
      shared (similar to Windows DLLs). All 
      older versions of libraries ( "libc", "libm", "libcurses" and 
      "libxti") are now grouped in a single library 
      shared "/ lib / libt.o. 

      The same occurs also with the libraries of graphical interface 
      X-Window: all are now integrated in the two 
      shared library "/ usr / xwin / lib / libx.o" and 
      "/ usr / xwin / lib / liby.o. 

      With the use of shared libraries, the size of 
      executable modules decreased drastically. This 
      reduced in both the time and amount of cargo 


 Version 4.9.0 Updated 10:12:08

      occupied space (both on disk and in main memory). 
      As an example, a typical utility, the "cp" which occupied 13,704 
      bytes, went to occupy only 4,032, ie, fell short of 
      third the size. In the case of graphic tools, this 
      reduction is much greater, mentioned as an example the program 
      "xedit" which went from 612 KB to less than 4KB! 


      This version also includes some new programs, among 
      which: 

          1: "cdplay: plays audio CDs in units IDE / ATAPI and 
             SCSI. 

          2: "cdtowave": Extract audio tracks from CDs into units 
             IDE / ATAPI and SCSI. 

          3: sbvol "controls the volume (master) of SB-16 boards. 

          4: "mkshlib" and "ldshlib" creates and loads the libraries 
             shared. 

          5: "nohup: run command immune to SIGHUP signal. 

          6: "paste" lines of a multiple. 

          7: "FDC": computer desk for small numbers of point 
             floating. 

          8: "xcoremap" graphics program to draw a map of 
             allocation of the computer's main memory. 

          9: "xedit" graphics program to edit texts (like 
             the "notepad" in Windows). 

         10: "xpaint" now accepts the JPEG format. 


      Other changes / enhancements: 

          1: "Drivers for IDE-ATAPI devices: These" drivers " 
             will allow access to TROPIX-IDE ATAPI devices, 
             such as CD-ROMs and ZIP drives the internal disk. 
             However, the file systems on CD-ROMs also 
             are not being recognized. 

          2 "Driver" for driver "Realtek RTL 8129/8139 Fast 
             Ethernet (10/100 Mbs). 

          3: The swap partition is no longer necessary to 
             installation, both in its own partition, as in 
             MS-DOS/Windows files. 

          4: It is recognized Fax-Modem U.S. Robotics 56K PCI. 

          5: Inauguration of distribution of the source code of 
             TROPIX of libraries and utilities. 

          6: The WWW server of TROPIX already allows the resumption of 
             transfers from the point they were 
             interrupted.

 The distribution of TROPIX is free, and it can be installed 
 via a CDROM or floppy. 

    1. The CDROM is distributed through an image, and contains the 
       TROPIX complete object (including the System Chart 
       X-Window). This image should be used to burn a CDROM 
       through an appropriate program: see chapter 5. 

    2. The distribution by floppy disk is part of the basic 
       with 2 disks, 3 ½ "and X-Window System in Figure 2 
       Additional disks: see the chapters 19 to 22. 

 The installation on PCs can be done in two ways: on partitions 
 own or in files from one partition to FAT16 or FAT32 
 MS-DOS/Windows (in this case without the need for change 
 partitions of disks). It included a manager of cargo 
 operating systems ( "boot0"), to amicable coexistence with 
 other operating systems. 

 Currently the TROPIX has the basic commands of UNIX (in addition to 
 some more commands themselves), a development system for 
 the language ANSI "C", support for the network of computers 
 Internet with TCP / IP, SLIP, PPP (for dial-line) and 
 Client / Server "telnet", "rlogin", "ftp", "mail", "pop3" and 
 others. 

 Whole TROPIX is based on the code character ISO-8859-1 
 (Latin-1, the same Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP), taking all the 
 stress available in all modes (text, graphic) and 
 commands. Moreover, all the manuals can be found in 
 screen (on-line), and are in Portuguese. 

 The file systems MS-DOS/Windows FAT-12/16/32/NTFS (both in 
 partitions on the disks as hard drives) can be mounted 
 (the latter only for reading). 

 For mounting remote file systems we have available the 
 NFS protocol, version 2. 

 CD-ROMs can also be fitted to all variants 
 (ISO-9660, Joliet and Rock-Ridge).

 The PC must have an Intel processor or equivalent 486/PENTIUM. 
 The minimum reasonable main memory is 8 MB. With 4 MB can be 
 use the system, but there may be difficulties in both 
 use the Internet and compile programs. For the Graphical Interface 
 X-Window is required at least 16 MB. 

 The USB drivers are accepted, but the patterns and UHCI 
 OHCI. 

 Disks are supported for 3 ½ "and 5 ¼" disk drives and IDE / EIDE. 
 Also supported SCSI disk drives connected through the 
 Adaptec 1542 SCSI controller (ISA) and 2940/29160 (PCI). 

 From version 4.9.0 USB devices are supported with 
 Protocol 1.1 and 2.0 with annexation / desanexação dynamics. 

 The Iomega ZIP disks (100 MB) are also supported in versions 
 the parallel port, IDE / ATAPI and SCSI (where connected to one of 
 SCSI controllers listed above). 

 For the Internet, are supported controllers "ethernet" 
 Novell (NE1000, NE2000 ISA / PCI), 3Com 3c503 and Realtek RTL 8129/8139 
 Fast Ethernet (10/100 Mbs), and lines with serial protocols 
 SLIP or PPP. 

 Are supported also the parallel ports for use of 
 printers. 

 Are accepted Fax-modems and ISA Fax-Modem U.S. Robotics 56K PCI. 

 From version 3.2.0 is also supported the output of digital sound 
 PCM sound cards through the "Sound Blaster 16 (or successor). 
 With this, you can play sound files from "*. wav" in TROPIX. 

 Are already supported "mouse" s USB. 

 As already mentioned, there are two ways of installing the TROPIX 
 disks of the PC (see chapter 10). In any of these 
 modes must be allocated a certain area of the hard disks 
 (typically 128 MB).

      * SOME CONVENTIONS / FEATURES OF TROPIX * 
      * * 
      ************************************************** ******* 



 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. 

 For the question 



 Version 4.9.0 Updated 10:12:08 





 INSTALL (ref) TROPIX: Installation Guide Pag. 17 


      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".

 Both of the CDROM TROPIX (obtained in Chapter 5), such as floppy disk 
 BOOT (obtained in Chapter 6), contains a compressed image of a 
 TROPIX file system independent. Both can be implemented 
 inserting them into the corresponding drive and typing or <ctl-alt-del> 
 <reset> (this operation, loading the operating system, called 
 the "boot"). 

 Do not forget to check if the order of several devices in 
 sequence of "boot" your computer's BIOS is desired. 

 This is useful for: 

      1. TROPIX test the compatibility of your computer. If 
         have any conflict, notify us (via the 
         address in Chapter 1). 

      2. Run TROPIX experimentally, to know the 
         system without changing the hard drive of your computer. 

      3. Read this guide to install on the computer screen and / or 
         print it on your printer (see the end of this chapter). 

      4. TROPIX install in your computer's hard drive. There 
         two modes of installation: see Chapter 10. 

      5. Fix the TROPIX resident on the hard disk, if 
         present problems. 

 After the "reset", the "boot1" (the first stage of operation 
 "boot") will be read from the CDROM or floppy. It is written the message: 


      TROPIX CD boot1, Version: 4.9.0, from 17:06:06

 <Enter> Key will read the "boot2" (the second stage) of the CDROM 
 or floppy; after reading, we have the message

  At this point, the "boot2" is awaiting a command. He is a 
  versatile program, which can (among others) load and run a 
  program, edit / print the partition table and list the contents 
  or the memory device. If keyboard "", it prints its 
  list of commands. 

  In our case, we hit "-i" to decompress the image of 
  ROOT file system from the CDROM or floppy disk to an area in 
  end of main memory. This area will then be used as a

  After decompression, the message is written

  values "default" of parameters, which generally are desired. 
  We can however modify various parameters, the most common 
  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) 
  unlimited. This is necessary during installation, but is not 
  recommended for normal use. 

  To see this guide for distribution / installation of the screen 
  computer, type "man install. To move forward / backward by 
  several pages of the guide, use the command <^ D>, <^ U>. To view the 
  content, use "2p" to go directly to the page <n> (obtained 
  through the content), use "<n> p". To terminate the execution of 
  "man", enter "q". 

  To print this guide, use the command 


       cat / usr / man / ref / install> / dev / lp 


  (this is only possible if your PC has the printer on port / IRQ 
  default). Remember that the guide uses the ISO-8859-1 
  (Latin-1) character, if your printer does not accept this code 
  character, use the command 


       stty ascii 2> / dev / lp 


  before the "cat" to remove the accents of the characters. 

  If your printer is a HP, accepting the PCL language, you 
  can use the command "hpprint. 

  Another possibility is to print this guide through 
  MS-DOS/Windows using the sequence of commands:

  where "/ dev/hda1" should be replaced by a partition DOS / Windows 
  FAT 16/32 right (in general you can use your own "/ dev/hda1", 
  it probably is the drive "C"). To obtain the names 
  the partitions corresponding to MS-DOS/Windows partitions, use the 
  command "prdisktb.

  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 
                  gar1.dsk cp / 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 
  reported are caused by defective disks. 

  After creation, we protect the disk against written.

  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. 

  WE DO NOT LIABLE FOR THESE POSSIBLE ACCIDENTS! YOU

  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.

        Note that with "C:" we are referring to the first partition 
        regular first disc, ditto with "D" for the second 
        disc. 

        This step creates the 2 files in the partition MS-DOS/Windows 
        chosen, creates file systems and copies the TROPIX 
        TROPIX files to the hard disk. During installation 
        (if you're installing from floppy disks) will be 
        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.

  As with other operating systems also have the TROPIX 
  your partition editor, who (as usual) is also called 
  "fdisk". However, TROPIX the "fdisk" is incorporated into 
  "boot2," and can only be performed during loading of the system (and not 
  with the system already running). The idea is to emphasize the impossibility 
  to change the partitions to the system in operation. 

  To run "fdisk", insert the CDROM or floppy disk of the BOOT

  The only command "dangerous" is the "w" (with the confirmation),

  So you can "play" at will, creating and removing 
  partitions, until you are satisfied with your configuration, giving 
  then the "w" final. 

  Note that the data sizes (128 MB, 64 MB and 64 MB) were 
  followed exactly, in fact they were rounded to 
  multiples of the size of the cylinder of the disk. As this disc has a 
  reasonably large cylinder (255 * 63 = 16065 blocks = ~ 7.8 MB) 
  differences are significant. One way to avoid this is to use 
  command "u", which prevents the rounding.

       * Reduce the size of a partition MS-DOS/Windows * 
       * * 
       ************************************************** ******* 



  One of the most frequent is to PCs that have only one disk 
  Rigid fully occupied with only one partition MS-DOS/Windows, 
  corresponding to "C:". 

  In this case, at first sight, there are only 2 possibilities for 
  more space for partitions TROPIX: install a new hard disk, 
  or save your files and reinstall MS-DOS/Windows 
  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 
  restored. 

  If you a USA system compressed files with "Stacker," 
  "SuperStor", "Doublespace," ... possibly (?) "Chsize" will not 
  work. Not tested "chsize" in these cases (even if we know 
  PARTITION MAGIC the support). 

  After defragmentation, insert the CDROM or floppy disk of the BOOT 
  TROPIX and push the system (as in chapter 8), entering the 
  multiuser mode. 

  Remove the boot floppy (if you are installing from 
  floppy disk) and insert a floppy disk (for example MS-DOS/Windows) and 


  Version 4.9.0 Updated 10:12:08

  mount it by 

       mount / dev/fd0 / fd0 

  This disk is intended to store the original superbloco 
  MS-DOS/Windows file system in case of any 
  problems. 

  Then press 

       cd / fd0 
       dosmp / dev/hda1 

  where "/ dev/hda1" should be replaced by the corresponding partition 
  MS-DOS/Windows the file system in question (in general will be 
  the "/ dev/hda1" which is the drive "C"). 

  Typing 

       chsize 

  get (eg): 

       Size of the existing DOS partition = 511.84 MB 
       Current size of the file system DOS = 511.84 MB 
       Space available at the end = 427.26 MB 

  Make sure the free space available is sufficient for the new 
  desired partition. In our example, we have enough space for the 
  typical case of 128 MB (427.26> 128). Remember of course 
  leave some room for future (new) files DOS. 

  To free up 128 MB (which will be used for the new partition to be 
  created for the TROPIX), we hit 

       rw 
       chsize-s 128 

  and get (for example): 

       Size of the existing DOS partition = 511.84 MB 
       Current size of the file system DOS = 511.84 MB 
       Space available at the end = 427.26 MB 

       The new DOS partition size = 382.03 MB 
                                                  (782401 blocks) 
       Size of new file system DOS = 382.03 MB 
       Size of the new partition (to be created) = 129.81 MB 
                                                  (265856 blocks) 

       Continue? (n): 

  Note that the values are not exactly the requests due to 
  rounding to whole cylinders. 

  If we agree with the values given, we hit "s" and note 
  the values given: the new DOS partition size = 382.03 MB, 782,401 
  blocks and size of new partition (to be created) = 129.81 MB, 
  265856 blocks. 

  The command "dosmp" superbloco saves the original system 
  DOS files in the file "dos_sb" the current directory (if in 
  mounted disk) to the case of any problems. 



  Version 4.9.0 Updated 10:12:08

  Then we do "dosmp" (with "q") and TROPIX (with "reboot"). 

  MS-DOS/Windows again between the system and make sure he 
  still functioning properly. Check the integrity of 
  file system (usually "C:") and if all your files 
  remain accessible. 

  If there is a problem with the system MS-DOS/Windows, restore the 
  original file system, reload the TROPIX and running 
  commands 

       mount / dev/fd0 / fd0 
       cd / fd0 
       dos_sb dd if = of = / dev/hda1 

  with the disk on which was stored in the original superbloco 
  DOS system. In this case, notify us (using the address 
  e of Chapter 1) the failure of "chsize. 

  Once established that the system is working MS-DOS/Windows 
  correctly, use the "fdisk" the TROPIX (as 
  Chapter 13) to change the partition table. 

  Initially, change the size of the DOS partition (using 
  command "m"). The new size (value in blocks) should be 
  exactly the size noted above (in this case, 382.03 MB, 782,401 
  blocks). 

  Finally, create a partition in space TROPIX released as 
  example in Chapter 13 (in this case, 129.81 MB, 265856 blocks). 

  Ready! It is time to install the new partition TROPIX,

  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 
        selected partition and copies the files of the fundamental 
        TROPIX to the hard disk. Follow the instructions. 

        If you want to keep an older version of system 
        HOME files, answer yes to question "Would

  If you install the manager, after the recharge of the system 
  manager prints a list of partition "active" of its 
  several disks, and hopes you hit the index of the partition 
  desired. The partition "default" can be modified through 
  command "edboot. 

  To exit the system TROPIX, use "shutdown". 

  If the manager of "boot" does not work, reload the TROPIX 
  via CDROM or floppy BOOT (enter in multiuser mode) and 
  restore the original manager, running the command-type

  Once the system up and running, we all 
  TROPIX the manual (in Portuguese) available through the utility 
  "man." Moreover, all the commands provide a brief summary of 
  its use through the option "-H" (eg "passwd-H). 

  To see the utilitarian "passwd" (for example), press 
  "man passwd". To move forward / backward by several pages of 
  hand, we have the commands <^ D>, <^ U>. To terminate the execution of 
  "man", use "q". Try "man man". 

  We first change the password to the account "root" and 
  the establishment of regular accounts (ie not super). To 
  change passwords, use the command "passwd"; to 
  creation / management of accounts, use the command "edusr. 

  Also an important task is to update the file 
  "/ etc / fstab", which contains information of the file systems 
  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 
  commands, even with modifications (each line of the history can 
  be edited with the same command of the "vi", before being 
  rerun).

  This version of TROPIX already has the "sbwave" to play 
  PCM music through signs "Sound Blaster" ISA, see the manual. 

  During installation, the Internet is already configured to work in 
  internal mode ( "loopback"), which is required by Interface 
  Graphical X-Window. To configure the Internet for use with other 
  devices, use "man internet". 

  For mounting remote file systems through the System 
  Archives of NFS (Network File System), use "man nfs". 

  Read chapter 18: he mentions features unconventional 
  the TROPIX, which include the system for considering them useful. 

  To install the X-Window Graphical Interface, see the chapters 
  19 to 22. 

  To obtain / compile the source code TROPIX, see the chapters 
  23 and 24. 

  Naturally, this chapter gives only a summary of the general direction 
  to be taken. The ideal is to consult a book of introduction to UNIX. 

  TROPIX hope that it will be useful both in learning of 
  UNIX systems, philosophy, and the use of another system 
  operational. For questions or reports of errors, use the

       * ORIGINAL FEATURES AND BUSINESS OF TROPIX * 
       * * 
       ************************************************** ******* 



  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).

       INTRODUCTION * The graphical interface X-WINDOW * 
       * * 
       ************************************************** ******* 



  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 
  MONITOR. YOU ARE INSTALLING / USING THE GRAPHICAL INTERFACE OF 
  TROPIX UNDER YOUR OWN RISK AND RESPONSIBILITY!

  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 

  and follow their instructions. The system needs about 10 MB in 
  disc.

       * * 
       * * GRAPHIC CONFIGURATION INTERFACE 
       * * 
       ************************************************** ******* 



  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 
        use a specific server for your graphics card. 
        This will provide the ability to use a wider range of 


  Version 4.9.0 Updated 10:12:08 





  INSTALL (ref) TROPIX: Installation Guide Pag. 44 


        colors, and other resolutions (800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024, 
        ...). 

        Depending on your graphics card, you can edit the file 
        configuration "/ usr / xwin / conf / xconfig". If an ATI, 
        put in the comment lines: 

                  Driver "SVGA" 
                  Device "Generic VGA" 

        placing a "#" at the beginning of the line, and take the comment of 
        lines: 

                  Driver "accel" 
                  Device "ati" 

        Also, change the number of bits per color commenting on the 
        line: 

                  DefaultColorDepth 4 

        and making the "#" one of the lines (try): 

                  DefaultColorDepth 8 
                  DefaultColorDepth 16 
                  DefaultColorDepth 24 

        For each trial, and in graphical mode typing "startx", 
        and to return to text mode, press both 
        <ctl-alt-bs>. Get information of success / failure in 
        file "/ var / log / xwin / xserver.log. 

        The instructions are similar, if your card is an NVIDIA 
        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 
        this version) how to use 16 colors (4 bits). 

     6. To change the resolution, hit <ctl-alt-+> or <ctl-alt--> 
        ( "+" And "-" the numeric keypad). 


  Once running, you can try to change the number of colors and 
  the size of your "desktop". In case of not, send us the 
  two files in the directory "/ var / log / xwin" as above.

  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".

       * OBTAINING AND INSTALLING THE SOURCE CODE * TROPIX 
       * * 
       ************************************************** ******* 



  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.

        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.
