Howdy all.
Does anyone have code that will turn the following into a decent X11R6 terminal?
i486-DX2/66 - 16MB
ATI MACH32 - 2MB
Ethernet - ????
2 Button Mouse...
I was thinking along the lines of a NetBSD kernel, with all the needed stuff
for X. However, no swap and paging, as I have no disk available. Also, if
all of this can fit on a 1.44MB floppy, that would be a bonus. Note, I can
use a font server for the fonts, etc...
Anybody have any ideas?
I'd try to hack this on my own, 'cept I don't have a working NetBSD machine.
The only machine I have access to, has the SCSI-BIOS disabled on the AHA-1542.
If there is a way to install NetBSD on sd0, and then boot a kernel off the
floppy, and use sd0 as /, /usr, etc, then I could get this thing working...
