Also, dt:1 is running on ttyp0, which doesn't show up as a login
on finger, or who, or w. I don't know who supports dt, or if it's even
being actively supported or developed...
Which I guess brings me to the question, does anyone really use
dt? And if so, is there anyone who knows enough about it who can help
support it until the fabled new console system makes its way to the mac68k
port? (which I've not heard anything about in ages...)
I wonder because I'm starting to use my machine as a server and
with the Q630's max of 36MB of RAM, having X running cuts WAY into that,
and slows things a bit. But, I miss the color... which neither the plain
console or dt have.
Any ideas or clues on when we can expect some kind of improved
console system? Or, do we already have one and I've slept through it? ;-)
