I've performed a clean installation of NetBSD 1.6.2 on a NEC Mobilepro 780.
After the second try, everything seems to work except that I can't use pkgsrc
via NFS.
When I was using NetBSD 1.6.1, I installed pkgsrc applications by using swap
and pkgsrc directories that are located on a FreeBSD server. I can still
access the directories via NFS; but when I attempt a make install, nothing
happens -- the cursor goes to a new line and everything just sits their until
I cancel the job. Executing 'top' on a separate virtual terminal shows no
related activity that I can identify.
Any ideas?
I reinstalled, again, and now have local swap and pkgsrc. I just installed
audit-packages successfully. However, I'd like to resume my NFS mode of
pkgsrc installation to free up storage space.
On a separate note, does anyone know of any 2GB microdrives or compact flash
cards?
Thanks,
Andrew Gould
