Anyone out there running it on 386bsd/netbsd/freebsd? Yes, me >2.) Any mods needed to get it to run? If so where can I FTP them from? There is a set of patches for 386BSD, made by a Japanese Man (Kenji is al I know from his name). I tried once to port it too, but I gave up even though I was almost complete, because I dind't know how to handle the monitor `shell'. I got no reaction, since I dindn't try to say \g. Well now I set it all up for FreeBSD, but I killed the original sources, so I can't make diffs now. >3.) Is it stable (when run on xxxBSD) and have you had any problems > with in on xxxBSD. Not so far, but actually I didn't work a lot with Ingres. I'd like to see some better front end for ingres. Monitor is a little outdated from my point of view. Is there a X11 front end for it? >Thanks -Gunther
