I am trying to install XFree with NetBSD. I have come upon a
stumbling block--The XFree install program that came with the 386BSD
version of XFree86 complains that I have a kernal that doesn't support
X. I looked around a bit and saw that there were pre-prepared kernals
for 386BSD but none for NetBSD. SO:
1) Do I have to recompile my NetBSD kernal? If so where do I find the
changes so that the new kernal will support X?
2) Do I have to install XFree86 from scratch? Or can I continue with the
386 version?
Thanks, in advance. Any help is much appreciated!
Cheers,
Rob
