In the mean time I got a copy of /etc/services and was able to back up X11R6 and my local stuff over the network. I reinstalled 2.05R from scratch and newfs'ed / and /usr. Everything looks good now and I have X running. Incidently I couldn't make a tty01 device using MAKEDEV but the mouse works well with /dev/cuaa1. The new install is VERY good. I have only one comment of a minor nature about the installation proceedure. After media is selected, I selected, FTP then ppp and was given a screen to put IP information (Incidently, it might be a good idea to have the help text mention to leave your address IP blank where the IP address is assigned dynamically.) However, I made a mistake in the nameserver IP address. No problem, reselect media and FTP and ppp and back to the screen to correct the IP address -- but no, you cannot go there again but get a blank blue screen and can only exit, reboot and redo the entire process again. It appears the IP addresses screen can only be reached on the first try but not later. Very minor problem. I will now try and get ppp on demand working. a great job! Thanks. jbeukema
