Hello,
 
For a xmas present, I got Datafile's PDCD4 with RiscBSD Beta 1.2.
NetBSD port.
I am completely ignorant about unix but thought I would give it 
a try. After setting up the software and hardware side of things,
I'm having a few problems (my ignorance mostly). Most of the programs
don't run with error messages like : read-only-system. How do I change 
this?

After installing x11r6, I cannot get it to run. CD'ing into x11 does
not work. startx command fails.

If anyone can point me to a web page, FAQ or even email some text
that will help me familiarise myself with unix and it's associated
commands and programs, I would be very gratefull. 

Steve...
