Hi,
  I'm going to install 3.1 on several Macs. Just a quick response.


1) ColorX (Xmac68k_color.bz2) is OK on NetBSD-3.1 binary sets.
	test machine: LC475(16 bpp), Quadra700(8 bbp)

LC475: startx >& startx.log

  These all are not fatal errors. :)
'startx' on LC475(full 040/40Mhz/36MB)  takes 45 seconds to complete.
Is this slow?
Quadra700 is now making "WindowMaker" and "links-gui" from source.
Almost 20 hours past, no error, but slow...



2) 3.1 Sysinst(netbsd-INSTALLSBC.gz) does not work for FPU-less 030s.
	test machine: LCIII, Duo230

At 'newfs' in Sysinst method:
 >Command ended on signal
 >/sbin/newfs -O 1 -b 8192 -f 1024 /dev/rsd0a


At Utility Menu:
 ># newfs /dev/rsd0a
 > uid 0, pid 18, command newfs, on /: file system full

This is a fatal error.

Thanks,
