Hi,
first I must really congratulate the NetBSD team for this wonderful
job. It only took me a few hours to install the NetBSD/i386 on this
laptop replacing the highly unstable Corel-Linux, and what's best, it
recognized all hardware, all PCMCIA, no problems with the network,
DHCP goes smooth for the first time...
Now only two questions.
1) This Toshiba works has a built in PS2 mouse. It works in W**. It works
with XFree86 under Linux. But in NetBSD I am having problems with it. The
sympthoms are as follows: I issue "startx" and as soon as I touch the
thing it slips to a side of the screen and nobody can take it from there.
2) I will probably try to build a kernel next week. I found that a
Spanish keyboard is missing and I love the console so I might even try
fixing this. Any hints?
Okay, just a third one.
3) I feared NetBSD would hang my PC, crash my HD and burn my nose, but
it works much better than I expected. This is why I am want it to take the
whole disk. Now the problem is I don't want to reinstall and my NetBSD
partition only takes 30% of the HD. Can I create a new NetBSD partition
with the rest and slice it? Or is there a way to resize a NetBSD partition?
Please suggest me the painless way.
Thanks in advance and a toast for NetBSD
Juanjo
