I am trying to set up 386BSD to run a school BBS from. The reason
is that we are getting USENET feeds, and possibly a lease line in
the future for internet connect. It is also an excellent way to
teach UNIX.
I am having trouble setting it up, though. I keeping running out
of disk space. I have the entire bin01 and etc01 sets. Do I need
them both?
WHere would I get software (in C to compile) that would let
me run the BBS under BSD. Some people will have trouble with UNIX
commands so I want a friendly interface, and this also helps with
security. I will provide advanced users with the shell.
COuld someone send me a step by step instruction set for doing
this, including files, disk space needed, time, etc... Make it
very detailed. I program operating systems (you read the right) on
the i386 and i486, but I am lost in this UNIX implmentation.
Please send replies both to USENET, to TEDUPUIS@HANNA2.NLU.EDU,
and to bx372@freenet-in-a.cwru.edu
thanks
