Hello everybody.

First, the good news :
In a previous life, when I had a Pissy, I bought a Linux CD-ROM.
I used it last week-end in order to collect some interesting Unix programs.
I managed to recompilate :
-Xchomp (Pac Man for X)
-Xmine (Mine game for X)

I also (but I collected it elsewhere) very easilly managed to compile mSQL. 
I works perfectly. I wish I knew where to find an http daemon, in order to 
make funny apps in HTML/PHP/mSQL

The problems I had :
Many Linux programs looked for an X386 directiry, I created a symbolic link 
to /usr/X11R6.1 and it worked fine...

But !
Some programs had a -lX11 on the gcc command line. The compilation always 
ended with an error. What's that mess ??? I've been suggested to make a 
symbolic link to X11R6.1 named X11... I'll see.


Now the always bad news !

When I try to mount my Zip (SCSI#5) on /mnt/zip via /dev/sd0x, I always get 
a "device not configured" message, except on /dev/sd0c where I get 
something like a "bad argument... " or "illegal...".
What's this ???

I couldn't ever get my ATAPI CD recognized.
When I type "dmesg", I see that anything was recognized during Boot 
(Hitachi CD-ROM, Zip drive...) so, I might have forgotten something... But 
what ???
I tried anything I've been suggested but always got a "device not 
configured" error.

I'd like to know wether there's a possibility for me to get a TeX port form 
RiscBSD. If needed, I shall recompile it, hoping I won't have too many 
problems.

I there's a TeX, I'll have to be able to use my HP Deskjet 510 printer. Can 
somebody explain me how I can get it working under BSD ?

Cheers
Mirko
