R6 doesn't include the drivers for the old Ultrix : 4.1 graphics interface (which is what NetBSD copies). Also, xdm doesn't : work too well--rumor has it that an xdm compiled for Ultrix works just : fine. YMMV. This would still be a great improvement. The system in question is only Ultrix 4.2 with a license that only allows for two logins at once. My next question is this: If I install NetBSD on a different drive, will I be able to boot both without major config changes? Matthew Orgass darkstar@skypoint.com
