Help!!!!!!!!
I'm going to give step by step of everything here to see what is going
on and how to take care of this. I recently installed the version of
Mosaic that I was referred to use here. Its the one in Amiga and the
version is Mosaic-2.7b3. I am currently running a Mac IIsi 17 MB RAM and
50 MB Swap. It has NetBSD 1.2 installed and running the GENERIC #1 kernal.
I opened up X as normal it opens with 1 console, 2 xterms, and one clock
using twm. I can post the .xinitrc if you would like me to. I then typed
in mosaic and hit enter to execute mosaic. At that point in time a black
and white map flashed on the screen and disappeared. In the same xterm
that I had started mosaic in it came up talking about the history and how
it would be saved in X-mosaic-history. After about 5 minutes and nothing
else happening I tried to type in the xterm and it didn't respond then I
went to move the mouse and that didn't work. I tried everything and the
only way to get out of this was to do a force restart ctrl-cmd-power key.
If anyone has any ideas on how to make this work please let me know. Also
is there any particular way I should reboot unix the next boot? I was
thinking it might be a good idea to boot in single user mode and run fsck.
Is this necessary or should it be ok?
Thanks,
Albert
