Date: 5 Jan 1995 04:05:13 -0600 Organization: Educational Computing Network Lines: 26 Message-ID: <3egg8p$93n@ecom4.ecn.bgu.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: ecom4.ecn.bgu.edu Hi, I'm a potential convert to NetBSD 1.0. I say potential, because I can't get the darn thing to work. :( I've installed all of the binaries except for security and the games binaries. I've also installed the netbsd10.patched binary. What happens is that I get maybe a minute of usefull life before my system crashes. From the docs I've read, I get the impression that it's a console bug which causes the system to crash. So, I've used the "clear" command frequently and tried to limit scrolling, but a crash is inevitable. I understand that the fix for this is to use the virtual terminal program, "dt". So, I went out and got that. However, whenever I try to run it, I get a "bus error". I've tried to recompile it, but with no success there either. I know this may be a simpleton's question, but.... What do I do? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
