- Hello All,
- I just d/l 386bsd for the first time and installed it
- on my PC, applied all 58 (well, all except patch #47) of the
- patches in Lambert's Patchkit (which kicks butt BTW :) ), rebuilt
- the kernel and affected utils. I also took the time to read
- the 386bsd FAQ (on agate). The FAQ said that to fix the 'tip'
- 'all ports busy' message one just has to recompile tip. I tried this,
- but I couldn't get it to work. Next question, when I log in as
- a normal user (not root) then su (to become root), my machine just hangs
- with no promt or anything and I am forced to reboot. Any suggestions
- as to these miniscule newbie inquiries would be most appreciated.
- Thanks!
