to use the Diamond Stealth 64 DRAM, you need to us
XF86_S3
(ln -s /usr/X11/bin/XF86_S3 /etc/X)
as for having everything symlinks into AFS. This was intended as a feature.
hopefully, if AFS caches well, it will only be slow the first
time you try to use any program, and then it will be cached, so you
don't need to wait for it again. This gives us the feature of being able
to easily update the system packs (everything in /usr/athena and /usr/X11
and stuff) for you without you having to worry about it.
However, if you wish to have it local, you can do that:
as root:
mkdir /srvd.new
cd /srvd; tar -cf - ./ | (cd /srvd.new; tar -xf -)
this should put all the stuff in /srvd which is in /afs on your
local machine under /srvd.new. This will be around 200 megs in size.
when this is done (it will take a while),
rm /srvd
mv /srvd.new /srvd
and you should be done...
(if anything seems to break, as root, do:
ln /afs/sipb/system/i386_nbsd1 /srvd
which will re-make the link.)
