Hello,
I am a first time user of 386bsd and newsfeed services. My installation problem occurs after the distribution floppy has finished "install" and the hard drive is settled.
I can "loadfd" all of the bin.xx, src.xx, etc.xx files from 3.5" stiffies. And I can even "extract" the bin.xx files, but I cannot "extract" the src.xx or etc.xx files. After file number 60 "cat" reports the following error, "cat: too many files open.", and as you can imagine "extract" doesn't like to take NO for an answer. I tried to cat them all into one big file but then, of course, "extract" can't find the rest of the files.
Thanx,
Matt.
