Basically, I gave up on trying because I lack the technical competency and time to figure out the problems. (Nonetheless, I am grateful to the people who spent their time making MacBSD.) I wanted to get a DOS machine and figured that NetBSD for an intel chip IBM style machine might be more stable and require less technical expertise on my part. I would be grateful for any advice on a hardware config. to allow me to run xwindows on a color screen, dial into my unix account, and print off of (name a printer). Really, any advice would be of help. Thanks!
