Hi all,
we got a new 486 running 386-bsd (I think? how do I check what exactly is on it?)
here at the lab a couple of days ago, and I'm supposed to install it.
Installing accounts and networking went ok... and I even installed XFree86..
but I've run into some problems:
a) installing remote printers - how exactly do I go about this? (I used sysadm and all seems
to be configured correctly yet it just won't print).
b) xdm is giving me hell.... X works fine now (after playing with Xconfig forever), but for
some reason xdm won't work. Here's the errors file - any ideas?
