Hi. Some more...
The changes to the fontserver didn't help. The servers exits with the error:
failed to set default font path '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc,/usr/X11R6/lib/X
11/fonts/Speedo/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi
/'
Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
As for sysinst, because I had to use a hybrid installation (1.3 didn't
netboot correctly) I've had some trouble using it. I tried to install
13alpha with sysinst to a second harddrive I temporarily added to the
DECstation. I ran from the station on it's 1.3 kernel, but I encountered
trouble all along the path.
1: sysinst didn't disklabel the second harddisk correctly.
(actually the label was correctly written, but when it tried to
newfs rz2d, the /usr partition, newfs freaked out)
This marked the end of the attempt to install a new BSD on the second disk.
I then untarred the base and etc with a copy of the fstab to the second disk
(manually re-labeled) and told sysinst to upgrade.
2: The upgrade went a little further. It got busy on the disk,
switching from time to space saving along the way, but the program
cored when it reached the package-selection menu.
Feedback please. Why is X producing errors it shouldn't? Why does it only
complain about the font-path when the misc and 75dpi fontsdirectories are
included (with only Speedo it only reports a Fatal error because it can't
FIND 'fixed', as opposed to the usual three lines of about errors setting
the default path)?
Thanks a million.
