Whoohoo, it works!

Brief description follows: pentium machine with Voodoo 1 and ESS soundcard.
I tried SuSE briefly, got frustrated, compiled Quake 1 from sources (on Linux),
installed 1.4.2, got compat_linux from pkgsrc, untarred svgalib, glide and mesa
stuff to /emul/linux/usr/lib and svgalib config files to /emul/linux/etc. 
Tried test3Dfx (from Glide) and it worked OK. Tried GLQuake, crashed with
\"couldn\'t open /proc/mem/blaablaa\". Added /proc to fstab and now it works, 
even sound!

Thanks a lot for a great system! 
Has anyone looked at porting Glide to NetBSD ?

If anyone would be wantink any binaries just drop me an email.
