So I heard but, libg++ didn't compile without the new gcc so maybe
there's some small change

Thanks.
You don't really need a disk, just happened I have a new HD, that was
empty and kept my old one running riscbsd until I got current running,
you just need to have a dir for it.
You do need lots of space though, somewhere in the region of 200MB I
think, depending on what you compile. I plan to get the new current
source soon, but haven't had time, when I do I'll do an updated guide,
I hopefully will get sup running along with pppd (any hints?) Anyone
know a sup server in the uk? co.uk or ac.uk?
I hope that some of the problems in the present makefiles are gone :)
Something I did miss off the guide as it's more a system management
problem is that lo0 didn't ifconfig with the new /etc files, cure was to
make a file called /etc/ifconfig.lo0 and put 'inet localhost' into it.
(may not be right but it works :)
Thanks,
Chris
