- Hello,
-
- I've just installed NetBSD 1.1 on my Amiga.
- The Installation was very easy :)
-
- I've been using Linux for a week and now I want to try NetBSD.
-
- I have a few questions:
- - Is it possible to boot NetBSD with a normal NTSC/PAL screen?
- When I use 'loadbsd netbsd' I get an interlaced screen :(
- - On Linux it is possible to use virtual consoles... is it also possible on
- NetBSD?
- - On my Unix-account on the university I use 'csh' as my default shell.
- I did this too on NetBSD, but when I press the cursorkeys I just get weird
- characters. Usually it is possible to "go back to previous commands" when
- pressing these keys.
- - I've heard that NetBSD uses a just little bit more memory than Linux...
- I've downloaded top (top-3.3) and tried to start top.
- It doesn't start... it says that there was no memory left...
- Do I really have no memory left or is the swap partition not in use?
- Does 'swapon -a' turns on the swap partition or is NetBSD automatically
- turning on the swap-partition?
- I know that I don't have much memory (only 4 Mb), but on Linux I can
- execute top more than once...
- - How can I know if NetBSD is using the swap-partition and how much memory
- is left?
-
- BTW, My system:
- - A1200 2Mb Chip
- - Mtec1228 4Mb Fast, 68030/68881 28Mhz
- - WDC 1080 Mb IDE HD
-
- Thanx!
