I would like thank the list for answering most of my questions before I 
needed to ask them. However here are some...

I'm running NetBSD 1.3 (GENERIC) #56 on a SE/30 with 32MB RAM.

What is the best way to install software? I want to get GhostScript 
working with my HP Desk Writer.


I downloaded the Package Collection from

    
<ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/tar_files/pkgsrc.tar.gz>
	
and followed the instructions on the web at

    <http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/netbsd/packages.html>
	
to install.


In an attempt to install GhostScript I type
	
	   cd /usr/pkgsrc/print/ghostscript5
   	make
	

After downloading, while the script is extracting some of the files, I 
get the following

   	gzip: stdout: Broken pipe
	   /usr/bin/tar: child returned status 1
	
Was something not extracted properly?


During the compile of GhostScript, the machine crashed.

    panic: cleaned vnode isn't stopped at _Debugger+0x6: unlk a6
    db>trace
    _Debugger(0,8b7ccc,3f6b4,3f59c,3f58e) + 6
    _panic(3f58e,6c43380,0,408) + 40
    _getnewvnode(1,6c0ee00,6bf9200,8b7d0c) + e0
    _ffs_vget(6c0ee00,2443,8b7d90) 60
    _ufs_lookup(8b7e00) a46
    _lookup(8b7e9c) + 23e
    _namei(8b7e9c) + 152
    _sys___lstat13(6c3a200,8b7f88,8b7f80) + 2c
    _syscall(118) + 13e
    _trap0() + e
    db>

What happened? How can I fix it? Should I start over?

Thanks,
