Hi
 This weekend, with the lovely weather outside, i decided to attack
re-doing the old computer room.

 I started with the installation of NetBSD-1.3.2 on my Noname.

 There were a couple of problems. I tried the installation twice.

 The first problem is that during the install, if you do no catch the hard
disk size as it scrolls by, forget it. The option during installation of
reviewing the dmesg output reports a file not found when running.

 The second problem occurs after the creation of the device files and boot
blocks. It simply dumps you into a shell with a 'follow the instructions
to install the rest' Hun? when i installed the i386 version, there was a
menu that presented the options of installation methods. What i ended up
doing was using ftp and untarring all the sets. Should this  be like this?
The INSTALL document certainly makes no mention of this!

 Anyhow, everything is working, which i guess is the most important thing.
Thank you very much for everyone's hard work. 

 Chris

ps. What is the current status of a non-tga xserver?
