Hello, I'm new to the list and I've been following for a couple of days.
Most of the stuff you guys talk about is way over my head, so please bear
with me. I'm just trying to get a Unix system up so I can experiment with
Perl and C.

I have a Mac IIci with 8 megs, no nubus cards, and System 7.0 .
I have installed base11, netbsd11, etc11, comp11, man11, misc11, and text11.
Booting with Booter 1.8, as single-user, and Auto-size RAM checked, it goes
through the boot process and then asks
'Enter pathname of shell or RETURN for sh:'
After I hit return, the cursor just sits there and I can't type anything.
I've also tried booting with 7 megs and Auto-size Ram unchecked, but I
don't get any further.

What else should I be doing? Is System 7.0 too old? Is there any other
documentation besides the FAQ?

Any help someone? thanks,
