First off-- *MANY* kudos to Bill and Lynne... On a personal note, with X11 not far around the corner (on 386bsd), it would be *very* nice to have the install program allow for at least specifying a swap space size. I dont know if 5Meg will suffice to run X11. The user would then have 386bsd installed on one large partition along with a user-specified swap partition. I dont know if this is a bug or not, but, after successfully installing the mini root on my HD and rebooting the machine, I *MUST* always re-run my BIOS configuration on the reboot or init dies. I have installed the complete 386bsd 0.1 binary distribution on my HD but for every reboot I need to re-run my BIOS configuration program on boot up. The configuration isnt munged, I just re-save it. 386bsd comes up effortlessly after the save. My Configuration: Intelec 386/33 64k Cache (yes I tried with with/out the cache) 8Meg ram Quantom 240 Mg IDE 2 1.44 Mg floppies 2 serial ports 1 printer port 1 Logitech busmouse using IRQ 5 Compuadd Hi-Rez VGA card (1024k) No 387 installed Cheers! doug -- ------------------------------------------- Doug Anson Internet: danson@lgc.com Phone: 713-579-4739 SNAIL: Landmark Graphics Corporation LGC 333 Cypress Run Houston, TX 77094 -------------------------------------------
