The install process didn't seem to create any. - Why does 386BSD keep mucking up the software configuration of my SMC(WD) ethernet card and what do I do about it? - Is there a way to extract the sources on some other machine? The machine that I'm running 386BSD on has a small disk (I had to play some amazing games to get it to install on a 40MB hard disk), so I would prefer to extract them on the Ultrix box in the next room that has gobs of space. However, I can't get anything on the Ultrix box to go beyond the first file. Reading that they were compressed CPIO files, I tried catting them all together and decompressing them; no dice. I can get decompress to work on the _first_ file, and I can then get cpio to look at them, but I can't go any further than that. Since I can't get the sources, I can't get the source to extract to see what it's doing. - On a related note, I don't seem to be able to talk NFS to the Ultrix box reliably. Of course, this is my first experience with NFS, so I don't know if it's something I'm doing. After just a little while, the 386BSD box says "server not responding." Help!! Roger Ivie ivie@cc.usu.edu1
