- For any one who might be having the same problem:
-
- Linux 0.9.13 worked fine on my system (A2000/Derringer030/GVP Series II). But
- all the 1.2.13plX versions are crashing on accessing my SCSI disk. I need
- 1.2.13 because of c++ and that is only available in ELF format, which requires
- 1.2.13.
-
- So I switched to NetBSD 1.1. And this worked fine from the start! Including the
- c++ environment.
-
- But now I still have a few small questions:
- - Where do I get docu? I've searched but could find the same "library" as
- linux has: HOW TO documents, etc.
- The only thing I found were some install guides and FAQ's.
- (So don't start responding with RTFM, please.)
-
- - Is ftp.uni-regensburg.de online? (Maybe my name server has a problem,
- does anyone have an IP address?)
-
- - NetBSD 1.1 definetly slower than Linux on the same config. Probably it
- is more IO bound and the disk I'm using is not very fast.
- Any suggestions on how to speed up things?
- (If like recompiling the kernel, what settings could I use best?)
-
- - NetBSD says in the boot screen that 2 mice and 10 views are configurated.
- How do I access (switch between) these views? (See next question)
- It is not the screen-utility. This works fine on the console.
-
- - When I start a getty on ttye1, etc, (ttye0 is the console) I get an
- "device is not configured" error.
- Are these ttyeX the views mentioned above?
- How do I configure these ttyeX?
-
- If anyone can deliver me the locations of the docu, I can solve these questions
- myself.
-
- Oh yes, and ofcourse finally: why doesn't Linux 1.2.13plX run?
-
- Mail ya,
