Lines: 74 Message-ID: <3b8rtm$ksd@eliza.netaxis.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: eliza.netaxis.com X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Hello I have a few questions/problems that I hope someone can help me with; I have read many faqs/archives, but don't understand or can't find what would help... system: A3000/25; ECS/2Meg:4meg/32bit:6meg/24bit; 52meg amiga/80meg BSD; NEC-25 1x cdrom; USR Dual-standard 9600; mouse ___ I recently installed NetBSD-1.0 on my AMIGA (3000) and... I am in interlace mode (and going blind), is there a simple way to boot into non-interlace mode? (I have to use a lo-res monitor right now...) I will prolly want to recompile the kernel (later?) but my /src dir is empty; do I have the kernel src's? I have many files in /include... [I installed base10, etc10, text10, misc10, man10, comp10] Err.. if not, I saw ksrc10, ssrc10, src10, and other sets (on ftp.eecs.umich.edu) and dunno which is what...? what is what???! I have an 80 meg drive dedicated to NetBSD... 5meg swap (I know.. sigh) 64 meg /usr and 10 meg / Am I heading into darkness? Am I destined to remain non-X ? One thing I would VERY MUCH want to do is connect to my local server with SLIP.. (I am connected now with my 'intel-inside' machine, but would prefer to do so with Amy/BSD...) I have printed/read the Networking-Faq, but I am still unable to connect with local server over the telephone line. [tip says 'unknown host'... sigh] If someone can lead me thru the setup for setting up a SLIP connection, I would be very happy... Are there any nice-ish terminal programs out there in BSDland? With built-in Zmodem? All I could find in terminal progs was Kermit... What do YOU use? One thing that surprised me is that sz/rz is NOT included in the normal configuration. I would have thought it a natural for inclusion in the basic distribution. (assuming of course that a system is ABLE to dial-out.. :-) Hmm... another thing I don't unnerstan is that ^L(control-ell) does-not clear the screen, tho I am using a vt200 er... protocol. Is this correct? I am obviously an expert in UNIX, ... (everyone here is laughing! why?!) but jus wanna be sure of some things... ...:-)) Well, anyway, sorry to take up so much time, but would really appreciate some kind person helping out YANB (Yet Another NewBie) Greg Hargrove Stamford, Ct. email=grove@netaxis.com
