I'm running X11R6 on an SE/30 with 20 MB RAM, but it should run (althought a bit tight) with 8. Here's a tip that will save your hours: the Xserver12 file that comes on netbsd.org is a newer version of the xserver (called, I think, Xmac68k) that DOES NOT WORK ON AN SE/30 (not on mine, anyway). What you need in fact is the *older* version of the xserver, called Xmacbsd, which is somewhere on www.macbsd.com (which has lots of other goodies, BTW) > And lastly is there > support for dialup PPP and Localtalk? > SLIP, certainly; and so I think PPP yes; I personally can't confirm LocalTalk but I'd be surprised if the answer was no. Check the FAQs and docs on www.macbsd.com . NetBSD/mac68k is cool. :) good luck, usman usman@nwu.edu
