Only having one 68MB drive and no built-in support for a second drive (so I could use that 36MB bookend...) impedes things a little. My setup (386sx/4MB/16MHz) likes to reboot after failing to lock the score file in rogue. Oddly enough, when it comes back up, fsck doesn't get run--it thinks the filesystem is clean. Taylor uucp doesn't get past creating the Makefile, which I attribute to me not having swap space set up yet. (Errors about not cleaning memory pages, sometimes prefixed with date/time.) >2/ everybody given up on 386bsd and gone to linux? No. I wanted something to play with that included networking, which linux doesn't have, yet. >3/ everybody gon off to play with NT? No. I've been promised an eval copy of SysVr4.2, or a Consensys 4.0 package if the 4.2 doesn't come through, so I may not worry too much about 386bsd anyway. I'd still like to have it up, so I can familiarize myself with the structure and admin practices unique to BSD. There's a lot of it out there, and I'm pretty weak in that area. -- Gary Heston SCI Systems, Inc. gary@sci34hub.sci.com site admin The Chairman of the Board and the CFO speak for SCI. I'm neither.
