That you don't have all supported gfx boards. Use a editor to customize
the settings for "ttye?" (NOT for "tty00" and "ttyp?") in "/etc/ttys".
But don't remove or comment out the lines switch the state to "off".
Afterwards enter "kill -HUP 1" and the messages are gone.

man pppd

All included.

Use "xdm" (see "man xdm").

Put it into "/etc/rc.local".

Comparing Un*x with MS-DOS is blasphemy.

All included in the X11R6.1 distribution.

Doesn't make sence. UAE is too slow on fast PC system which are much
faster than even a 68060/50 Amiga.

A macro language with a X11 GUI toolkit.
BTW It's a bad idea to crosspost english language article in national
news network like "de.*". That's why I removed "de.comp.sys.amiga.unix"
from the group list.
