The console messages can be captured by a Console Xterm... to get one of those su to root in your default Xterm and type, "xterm -C" <capital C> this will intercept all the console messages and log them in the window. then use that console xterm to login to your own system with your account so when you are talked, it comes up in that window also. Now all your screen problems are solved. I hope this helps. now... a few questions of my own... I can boot BSD on my IIsi in color with no problems, but when I try to start X, it won't work. I'm wondering if maybe I would boot in color and then compile my own X11, would that work? would I get color? I really do not like monchrome X... fvwm is working fine, but it looks horrible in monochrome. Any NetBSD Gods, please help. Thank you! -androo
