I was even able to compile the entire GENERIC kernel that is the same size as the default one that comes with netbsd1.1. My machine also works now with 256 colors. It hasn't crashed yet. I even compiled gcc 2.7.2 which took about 7 hours, but it too appears to have worked successfully. perl5.001 didn't work however. Make got in some infinite loop it seemed to be running make depend over and over again. I guess that might be the only way to get netbsd to work on a mac IIci as it stands ( unless one tries a internal video card ). You should be able to get 16meg for about $380 maybe even $300 soon. goodluck. If anyone knows how to successfully make a ppp connection in netbsd I would love to hear about it. I tried: /usr/sbin/pppd connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v "" ATDT5551212 CONNECT "" ogin: <username> word: <password> /dev/cua0 2400 debug crtscts defaultroute <ipnumber>: then route add default <ipnumber> Obviously the /dev/cua0 is wrong, I don't know what the device for the serial/printer ports are? I don't even see anything in /dev so I don't even know if it's even been setup. thanks in advance, jcarr ps: incase you don't know how to compile a kernel there is info on that at the netbsd website
