I was wondering about future 386BSD releases...
On a 486/33 AMI motherboard (ISA), 8Mb, 240Mb Quantum SCSI w/1542,
it seems the 5Mb swap is not enough. This happened:
1) bin01, etc01, src01 - no problems
2) Install patchkit 0.2.2 - no problems
3) config GENERICISA;make depend;make - no problems
4) buildworld.sh (I think that was the
name - going on
memory) - PROBLEM; after about 3 hours
of happy compiling, the system
hung (yacc or gcc...) No joy.
Will future releases automate the disklabel/swap size so you can specify
how much swap space you want?
Also, will XFree and TeX be part of the release?
I would really like to get a handle on the partitioning basics, but a Linux
flunky like myself has a bit of trouble getting up to "critical mass" with
the current installation approach.
As always, any feedback/wisecracks/flames/suggestions greatly appreciated!
