Thanks for the help. I used that disk image and installed everything,
with the Athena stuff. But it seems that something is not quite right.
I can log in as root, telnet to ringworld ok. I tried to configure X and
at one point in the setup it jumped into db> with the white on red text.
SO I removed the partition, and redid everything. It seemed ok, until
I tried to log in, and it dropped into db again. I reboot, It lets me log in,
I try to adduser, and it goes into db again. Reboot, log in, type help,
and it goes into db.
This is the exact message it gives me (or it did last time)
vm_fault (f83050000, f86fd000, 3, 0) -> 1
kernel: page fault trap, code=0
Do you have any idea what is wrong?
Thanks.
Andy
