Hi all,
	I am VERY happy with 386bsd.  It performs brilliantly.

	I do have a couple of problems/questions.  Whenever I unpack a shar
file from alt.sources I get two Zombie shells after its finished.  Has
someone fixed this or should I track it down, or wait for 0.1 :-)

	Another problem is when I use login, it actually logs in allright,
but when I run a command, eg: ls, I get no output from the command.  I even
tried redirecting the output from 'ls' to a file in '/tmp', logging out
and looking at the file in single user.  The file exists, but is zero length.
Is this a problem with the login program or the console driver or what.
I have installed the patches to give the console driver ansi type codes.

	Does anyone have a newer/better version of the ST01 scsi driver
posted for 386bsd.  One that works with the ISO9660 file system patch.
I would very much like to use my CD-ROM drive on my ST01.

	Also, Can someone tel me how to setup the name-server! I am having
a real problem understanding the man pages for named etc.

Thanks in advance
Paul Kendall.
