Is there a FAQ anywhere?  I can't find one.  Here are some of
my questions anyway:

I just downloaded and installed 386BSD, and it worked fine on my
386 clone at home, but not on my Compaq at work.  I haven't seen
any answers to this problem on this newsgroup, so has this been
answered before?  I see that Compaq is a financial supporter of this
project, so it seems that it would be working on their machines.


According to the ROADMAP, there should be a 'userdirectory' file inside
of 386bsd0.1, but I couldn't find it at any site.  Does it exist?


Are there any directions for starting slip?  In the INSTALL guide
page 20, it simply says "attach a SLIP connections to com1 serial port..".
I know how to tell my host to start the connections, but I guess I need
to be in a terminal mode first so I can do this, right?  Then what?  

thanks
