HI, I recently installed NetBSD 1.0 on my i486 machine and I have some
questions I would appreciate if someone would/could answer for me:
Does NetBSD have virtual consoles, like Linux (I have used Linux for a year
now and want to try out BSD) ? If so, how do I set them up and access them ?
Do I have to configure a kernel for them (I did manage to make a new kernel).
How do I access my modem for dial out ? It is on com1 and I tried to talk
to it with cu : cu -l /dev/tty01 . Under Linux, I can use cu -l /dev/ttyS1
and use this to dial out, although I actually use minicom. Cu gave me a
read/write error on NetBSD.
The INSTALL document for NetBSD 1.0 says there are 2 FORTRAN compilers, but
the comp10 package (compilers) only has gnu c and c++ are there FORTRAN
compilers, or do I have to get gnu f2c or the g77 ALPHA , like I have for
Linux ?
Any response is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dirk
