Post-intallation notes:
|
||||
----------------------
|
||||
Some of the files in the NetBSD _VER distribution might need to be
|
||||
tailored for your site. In particular, the /etc/sendmail.cf file will
|
||||
almost definitely need to be adjusted, and other files in /etc will
|
||||
probably need to be modified. If you are unfamiliar with UN*X-like
|
||||
system administration, it's recommended that you buy a book that
|
||||
discusses it.
|
||||
|
||||
NetBSD/pmax 1.3 uses an X11R5 X server. These servers cannot read the
|
||||
compressed fonts which are shipped with standard X11R6 configurations.
|
||||
|
||||
If you installed X11 and want to run a local Xserver, you must take
|
||||
post-installation steps to make the X11R5 server work that are
|
||||
standard for X11R6.3. The distribution file /usr/X11R6/bin/README.pmax
|
||||
contains information on how to choose an Xserver and how to access
|
||||
compressed fonts via a font server or to decompress the X fonts
|
||||
after installation. Please follow the directions there.
