After a few days of trials and tribulations I have got NetBSD 1.3.2
up and running on my current system (A2000 -040, Picasso II
ADOS 3.1).
I ordered some books to help me out, but they'll take some time to
arrive.
I got X windows running on the graphics card last night So of
course, the first thing I tried to do was set up the amiga-like
windows manager (amiwm). However, I have no idea on how to do
this. The bin file appears not to be an executable. So how and/or
where do I change things to get this going?
A second minor question. Is it still true that there is only 8 bit
support on Cirrus graphics cards, like mine? If I can get more
colors( 16 or 24 bit) how?
Thanks and I hope I'm not being too primitive here.
