Was NetBSD's kernel desgined to be like the DU kernel? I ask that
because the later programs I tried were looking for a function from the
kernel before it would even start. This is with DU JDK and acroreader.
So if the kernel had thoses attributes it could run them. The apps die
with this error upon execution (below). Thanks for your help.
