I installed the OS from an CD called "NIX highlights". After a little bit of trouble it was installed on a 486 machine with an ASUS board, 16 MB of RAM, NCR810 scsi controller and half a MEG IBM harddisk. So far so good. But there are some point I have to ask you netters for: 1) the system is connected to a net of 5 unix machines via an WD8013 card. networking is ok, but from time to time a kernel message appears on the screen sayin :"/netbsd: arpresolve: cannot allocate llinfo". I removed portmap, timed, routed etc from the kernel, but this doesnt help. I built a new kernel -no success. What is wrong with my system ? 2) because I am german I would like to have a german keymap. But there is nothing like kbdcontrol, loadkey, keymap, ttymap or so which I can load. Is different keymapping possible ? 3) How can I switch between virtual consoles ? 4) I have got the emacs 19.19 from a NetBSD package. emacs loading needs MINUTES! Other editors (e.g. joe works fine). 5) Some progs like emacs, joe, sc have problems with the termcap database. It is installed in /usr/share/misc and linked to /etc. What is wrong ? sorry for these couple of questions. But the only doc I have is the NetBSD installation giude - no handbook, users manual or so. thx & regards berni -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- Berni Ernst 35305 Gruenberg,Huegelstr. 15D |voice 06401/2 18 36 berni@troia.rhein-neckar.de |modem 06401/2 12 04 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
