Allen,


The problem with not having X in my path went away when I restored
<bigger>xserver.tgz


</bigger>So either the error message I noticed was benign, or the order
in which the *.tgz files are installed matters, or I just flat out
missed xserver.tgz in the first place. (I believe it had to do with a
symbolic link's destination not being present)


I've been thinking about how sloooow the Quadra 840 is compared to my
StarMax/5000, and I believe I'll progress to installing NetBSD there.
This point was really brought home when I started untarring pkgsrc from
a 2X cdrom.


Many thanks for your assistance.


David
