Hello everyone I've just scored a next cube that matches the supported hardware specs now. It is a color machine with a 21 inch monitor since I didn't see anything in the support specs about this I assume this won't be an issue. My questions are as follows. Since the Machine comes with Nextstep 3.3 user and is very small I want to perserve that so I'm swapping it for a 6GB scsi drive and I want to place NetBSD on the system. Is the only way to install this on a hard drive to NetInstall? or is there a way to build a boot floppy or something to install the system from CD rom? Also since it appears that you're working on SCSI support does that mean that the hard drive in the machine won't function? I'm also interested in keeping the unigue nextstep look and feel to the os so I plan on using Xwindows and Afterstep or window maker as my widow manager is that a realistic hope with this os? I look forward to helping out in any way that I can. I believe I'd like to write more documentation for the os since that seems to be where my talents lie. Chauncey Smith Thanks in advance for all your help. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Tax Center - online filing with TurboTax http://taxes.yahoo.com/
