Hi,


I've been facing some problems in setting up NetBSD 1.5.3 
on a 386 box (128MB RAM, 4GB hard disk).
I haven't got any installation CDs for this version, so I'm
downloading the packages off the net and installing them.


The first problem is that sometimes when I boot the kernel, 
it automatically goes into debugger mode. Since I don't know 
how to debug the kernel yet, I simply need to exit the debugger 
but am unable to do so.


The second problem is that when I tried compiling the kernel with
DDB_NOPANIC=0, the kernel refused to boot up.


The third problem is that I'm unable to use any window manager right
now. I've downloaded packages for KDE and Open Look from the net. 
I tried startx last night (with olvwm in my $HOME/.xinitrc), but I
only got 3 xterms with no window manager! Can anyone suggest which
window manager is the easiest to install on NetBSD 1.5.3?


Thanks,
Bishan.
