Thanks in advance to all those who tolerate silly newbie questions:-
I've just installed RiscBSD 1.3_Alpha and installed <all> of the distribution
sets from the CD: I have two problems:
1) The "configure" program spoken of in the "install notes" does not seem to
exist - OK I can edit /etc/rc.conf directly, but how do I go about deciding on
sensible variables ? I have a stand-alone RPC which I only (usually) connect
to the internet via a modem (Argnoet account) for e-mail etc., so naturally I
know nearly nothing about addresses etc.
2) When I try starting X with the startx command all seems well for a few
seconds but then X halts with the error "no available ptys" from, say login.
Please help a silly newbie,
Thanks in advance for your assistance,
Simon. xx
PS. Merry Christmas, all.
