I understand why it doesn't work with the IIfx or 900/950. What I dont understand is the insistance of using it over linux on these models. http://www.macbsd.com/macbsd/macbsd-docs/machine-status/ seems there are several unsupported modules on different models, for example the 840av. You may compare results to those found here http://maclinuxstatus.sourceforge.net/status/ check out the 840av, 900/950 >NetBSD has existed since the early 1990s when it was originally MacBSD, >and was then merged into the NetBSD project when that emerged a couple >of years later. > Apperantly 10 years under the name NetBSD. So the only real way I'm going to find a comparsion would be to install it, the old Q700 board is in a IIvi case. No ftp install? Oh well we'll do it the long way, no I dont have a external cd drive. :( Well, the long way isn't that long, its not a huge distro. There is less package selection than a ftp install of debian but the sets are small. Its strange installing under the mac OS and rather easy. After a bit of work with fsck and a little learning about vi, not to mention some unnessarsary reinstalls, I've managed to login as root. After some more work we should have one of the nic's up and running properly. Something I've never worried about under linux The fsck -p or mount -va tips would have been handy in the install.html as a side note but they are easy enough to find in the /misc/#read-only-to-read-write. Thankfully the keyboard works, may have been a bit tricky otherwise. Everything appears to work ok. I guess its off to read stuff since none of the commands I'm familar with do anything, well cd, exit and shutdown -r now, do as they're told. I'm getting one of those headaches I get using linux I hope those of you who know what your doing found something to chuckle about. :) Matt, you might take alook at http://lists.debian.org/debian-68k/2002/debian-68k-200211/msg00043.html not real helpful but its the best link I can find dicussing the hardware clock problem on the Q950 which does seem to point to the kernel you use on that machine. cya -- MaX-list is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... / Buy books, CDs, videos, and more from Amazon.com \ / <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-home/lowendmac> \ Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> MaX-list info: <http://lowendmac.com/linux/max.shtml> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/max-list%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
