X11R6 has been run on a NetBSD/Mac machine. The Amiga >folks are running it all the time. I didn't know that X11R6 was running for Mac. What I heard from a person who was running NetBSD/Mac was that he could not run X11R5 and was using it in tty mode (Situations in Free Unices are changing so quickly everyday, that it seems to me that new informations that I know today become quickly unusable tommorow). That was why I was wondering. And I apologize for my remarks. But I still wonder why they buy a Mac to run Unix. NetBSD core teams remarks also contradict : "NetBSD is intended for *different* users". I am sure that McIntosh users are not their intended users. BTW, just a curiosity : Can NetBSD/Mac be installed with Mac OS in different partition ? Can it access Mac file system from NetBSD ? Thanks. -- Woody Jin
