Re: Can not Download NetBSD 8.0 i386 USB Install Image
I have downloaded it from ftp.netbsd.org and reported this problem to NetBSD's web site. Thank you !

Re: Video Driver for Intel - resolution stuck at 800x600
Thank you all for helping me out. I decided to go with current. My main desire is to really work on a NetBSD desktop, one that I can use and one that others would find appealing as well. I started digging into the light-desktop project. Seems like all the other BSDs have desktop projects, GhostBSD, Trident, OpenBSD has good stuff... but my love has always rested with NetBSD. Again. Thank you guys so much.

Get latest daily NetBSD-current, if it works OK, just keep it, until you get bored and feel like you need to update. The actual update can be quite simple: 1. Download NetBSD binary sets 2. Extract kernel, copy to /netbsd and make sure it boots OK 3. 'cd /' and then for each set (except etc.tgz and xetc.tgz) do 'tar -zxpf $set.tgz' 4. Run 'etcupdate' and follow instructions, see man page. Alternatively you can backup your data, wipe out NetBSD on disk and do new install. NetBSD installer is very quick, not like Linux or Solaris.

It's a regular message telling that your clock isn't synchronized. This may happen after synchronization is lost and regained, but may also before time is synchronized for the first time. See also the ntp_adjtime man page: Possible states of the clock are: TIME_OK Everything okay, no leap second warning. TIME_INS``insert leap second'' warning. TIME_DEL``delete leap second'' warning.

You might want to try just running a current kernel first - I'm running stock netbsd-8 userland and packages and just a current kernel on my T530... I setup boot.cfg to default to a new option (boot '/current') then have this quickly hacked up script I run every so often to update the current kernel #!/bin/sh -e TMPDIR=$HOME/.cache/tmp mkdir -p $TMPDIR TMPFILE=$TMPDIR/current.$$ ftp -o $TMPFILE http://nyftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/HEAD/latest/amd64/binary/kernel/netbsd-GENERIC.gz if ! gzip -t $TMPFILE ; then echo " Downloaded file fails gzip test" rm -f $TMPFILE exit 1 fi if cmp -s $TMPFILE /current ; then echo "Unchanged" rm -f $TMPFILE else sudo chown root:wheel $TMPFILE sudo mv /current /ocurrent sudo mv $TMPFILE /current fi stat -f "%9Z %Sm %N%SY" /ocurrent /current David

Basically you have a new user - sysbuild - whose home folder contains src and xsrc; I also make the usual softlinks from /usr/[x]src. By default it creates a cron job running cvs update overnight; in the morning you can update the system using sysupgrade. I usually stop the cron job and run the update manually whenever there is something of interest, perhaps 3-4 times a week. There are a few quirks running -current as opposed to released or stable version, but in my view they are worth it. Generally -current has been very reliable for me, the periods when one cannot build it or there are some other - driver or kernel level - problems are fairly rare. From time to time you may have to clean the obj folder as the process doesn't account for all possible changes. I don't remember the last time I ran build.sh manually; also on the same machine I do builds for amd64, i386 and evbarm. So far inplace upgrade with sysutils/sysupgrade hasn't failed for me, and I do it on systems which I need daily (like the one I use for my invoice issuing website). > > Thank you for responding.

Re: Video Driver for Intel - resolution stuck at 800x600
" Why not just run NetBSD-current if that works with your card?" A most excellent question, with a relatively embarrassing answer: I am not sure how to keep NetBSD-current, current. I am part of the NetBSD-current mailing list and read about different issues others are experiencing; however, I do not really know how to update the base OS or apply a particular (suggested) patch. I did read the " Tracking NetBSD-current" page, but it seems confusing to me. Thank you for responding. I'll try current again.
