No, I didn't, I thought I wouldn't have had much problems building
from the official tarball dist...

The main problem is that I am too used to how Linux works, and I find
myself lost within NetBSD...But of course I'm here to learn :)
I think I'm going to read some FAQs and Docs about NetBSD, I am a
computer science student and I like using different operating systems,
you know, it's better having a more general OS knowledge instead
of focusing on only one OS.

Oky, so why do I have at boot time some ttys not configured?
How can I configure them so that I'm not going to have those
error messages at boot?

Ok, I'll give them a try, and no, I am looking for something simple...and
good
(I used, and use, Staroffice with Linux and I think it sucks :(  )

But the question is: Does exists a good web browser for NetBSD?
I know (and have used) things like chimera, arena, mosaic and so on...
I do prefer Lynx to them :P

? what /usr/X11R6?
I have noticed that some packages (expecially the ones "not for X")
seems to be best placed in /usr or even / ...or am I wrong?
 

I had a talk with a friend of mine, he is using FreeBSD on the PC
and he explained me something like the CVS...I know (roughtly) what
CVS is, but never tried it (same thing exists for the geekgadgets that I
use for istance). Now, is the man docs of CVS enough or I have to refer
to other docs too?

thnx in advance and sorry for the FAQ questions.


P.S.
Ignatios, Why are you answering also by email? It would be better to post
to the list only...
