True, but: 1. This was the first free time I've had to do this, and 2.

I think that there is a "timing" problem initializing the card, since every time I look at this to try to figure it out, the added debugging code makes it go away.... [I'm willing to try to track this down, however if someone has some clues...] BTW, my fallback was to use a SCSI tape for the install, so at least that works... > > 3) I installed the "netscape-navigator-4.07" port, and when I try to > > execute it, I get the following error: > > > > ld.so failed: Can't find shared library "libXt.so.6.0" > > I don't think that the a.out X libraries get installed by default.

In that case, we'll need to provide them too. /usr/X11R6/lib/aout didn't even exist, but I didn't select the X11 portion of the install. I built XFree86 from the ports collection. I restored my old aout libraries from tape and now netscape works.... Perhaps an "XFree86 aout library port" needs to be added?
