Firstly, a caveat - my dists are about a week old, as pulling that much stuff
on a daily basis is a no-no 8)
With the 5/6/95 19:00 install images, prettymuch everything is a goer.
Jordan, something to add to the Hardware FAQ - I have a video card that
wedges IRQ 9 in text modes, and thus 2/9 is a bad choice for network cards.
This is non-obvious.
"Q: When I try to (FTP,NFS) install, all I get are ed0: device timeout
messages. Your software is impossible to use! ( 8) )
A: Is your network card using IRQ9? If so, try moving it to another
IRQ, as some video cards will interfere with IRQ9. "
(sorry)
Having just exterminated cron (by unmounting /usr from under it 8)
I have determined that /usr has been created with the wrong permissions.
(022 is a bit bizarre 8)
This leads to all sorts of unpleasant (and insidious) side effects.
Any idea why the root filesystem is being mounted as /dev/sd0a rather
than /dev/sd0s4a?
Also, if the network link (as I mentioned in my last message) is down,
routed dumps core at startup. I don't really expect that this will
be fixed in -RELEASE, but it's worth knowing.
