I have a 386/25 with a 120mb HD, I am trying to find a Unix with NFS so I can hook my PC to my NeXT (my NeXT only has the Optical Drive, so I want to mount my PCs Floppy to the NeXT. I also want to use some of the extra PCs Hard Disk, since the NeXTs is almost full). Could anyone recommend which Unix to use 386BSD or NetBSD. Also what are the differences between the two. And last but not least, I have read some of the documentation on 386BSD but I can not find out exactly what files I would need and which I wouldn't. I started to download some of them and ended up with a ton of bin and src files. Which would be needed and which would be extra. Any help that anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated. Also could you please Email me a response as well. I rarely have time to read all of the net. Thanks alot... --Andrew Robertson-- --anjrober@navajo.ucs.indiana.edu-- -- --Andrew Robertson-- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IU Dept. of Environmental Health and Safety 9:00-11:00 2:00-4:00 855-5252
