I suppose you already set up C-News or (*shudder* :) B-News, but I'd
suggest you look into INN 1.2 by Rich Salz. It's a complete news transport
system based on a central daemon which also does NNTP. It compiles right
out of the box on 386BSD (provided you don't tell it to use mmap() for the
active file :) and works like a charm. I have INN up and running on my
machine at home for nearly 2 months and had no problems up to now. 

It's quite likely that INN puts less load on your system than C-News,
depending on the volume of news you get.

try 
mv algo.cpp algo.cc
g++ -o algo algo.cc -lgnulib

the -lgnulib is probably necessary, otherwise ld complains it can't find
_fprintf (i think). maybe i should try ranlib libgnulib.a one day...

...lots of lines deleted...

I ran into a similar problem while compiling Persistence of Vision (PoV),
the raytracer developed on the dkbtrace code base.  It was dying while
compiling parse.c (the fourth file, so it might be the same problem).
I eventually tracked it down to a problem with a re_#define'd HUGE_VAL
(I had was including a replacement for math.h without removing the original).
So if you are getting a symbol redefinition error, try tracking that down.
(I got it to the point where that was the only line in the only function in
the file, and cc1 kept crashing).

I hope this helps.  I am using the version of gcc that came in the 0.1 release.
I have not tried it on newer versions of gcc or different architectures.

The problem is definitely in the mono server (and will be fixed in the
next release).  There were some bad hacks in the 1.1 version of the
mono server -- and these have now been fixed.

Brother, did you come to the right place :-)  Set yourself down and
follow the postings here for a few days till you find out whats what.
In brief, you can get a *very* nice 386bsd running on DOS hardware
for free.  I'm running on a 150Mb drive with a full - but binary only -
distribution, and enough room left over t do serious work.

I have 386BSD 0.1 bindist up and running and I installed the XFree
binary distribution. However the X server dies after it changes to
graphics mode, no error messages are displayed, just the lines that
show configuration. Xterm says connection broken etc.  Could it be
that the X server cant get enough memory (4M installed on system) or
what could be wrong ?

If so how do I know if I have swap partition ?  I installed the 386BSD
on entire 100M drive using the default installation program and I am
wondering where is the swap space. I dont find any swap partition.
Also MS-DOS 5.0 fdisk didnt find any partitions so I was unable to
look at the partition table. Do I have to repartition and re-install
to configure swap partition and how if I can't find partitioning
program from 386BSD fixit diskette ?

 Hi,

 I am using the binary XFree86 from agate and various versions of xv ( bin &
 src ). As I haven't got a SuperVGA card yet, I am stuck with B/W 800x600.

 However, when I start 'xv' , it's title picture looks a little strange :

 Longwords byte ordering is the wrong way round as well as the bit ordering
 within the single bytes. That way you get vertical stripes divided into
 four smaller stripes.
 Loaded pictures look just the same way.

 Has anybody observed the same problem already ? Ist it me who's doing
 something wrong ?

 I've had a look at the sources of 'xv', but haven't found a simple way of
 changing the bit / byte ordering there.

 Thanks a lot to all of you who made 386bsd & XFree86 possible !
 On my DECstation 320 ( 386sx/387sx @20MHz , 6 MB RAM , 200MB HD ) things
 work just fine - even though 'gwm' takes its time to start up :)

 XEmacs, XTetris, XRobots,  all of them compiled without major changes.

Yes, I made it work, essentially following the instructions in the FAQ.
The only twist was to find the proper offset for the start of the DOS
area.  I did this by running "od /dev/wd0d" and taking a couple
of guesses.  The DOS stuff started after a long stretch of zeros.
Here is the relevant line from my "devices.c".  I don't know whether these
parameters will work for you, but you might be able to use the same trial
and error technique.

   {'C', "/dev/rwd0d", 19456L, 16, 0, (int (*) ()) 0, 0, 0, 0}, /* HD */

(19456 is 046000 octal).

A much better one indeed. Why don't they adopt bash as the staandard shell?
200Kbyte extra disk space is nothing nowadays especially when we need csh

We have noticed this same problem using WD8003EP's with Dell SysVr4.

That came from Dell development.  Please follow-up your responses.

Be careful! I tried this on my 4MB system, to see if I could get past a

  I'm currently trying to get pcnfsd working on 386bsd.

  I've played with things enough to determine that the password checking
 is working and the correct authentication record is sent back.

  Then, (on the PC) I get a message of the form:

	ERROR: RPC Authentication error

  Is this the "vouchsafe" problem with file systems exported from 386bsd?

  Again, I'm pretty sure this is not the user authentication; when I
 kludge up pcnfsd to return failure in that situation, I get a totally
 different message at the PC end.  I _believe_ this error is occuring
 at the mount RPC.

I am becoming quite tired now to to say that all of this is covered by "codrv". 
Get the keycap-0.1.1.tar.Z stuff from ftp.uni-duisburg.de (134.91.100.14).
Read README*, FAQ.ddmmyy, and BUGLIST.ddmmyy there.
