I tried to unmount floppy with "umount /mnt" and umount hung. And fd0a was unusable: "Device busy". (A day later the umount is in "DW+" state.) I wonder if this is related to shlight/nfs problem from day before.

top says it is in "synclk" state.

A ktrace on the PID simply says:

5998 umount   EMUL  "netbsd"

I installed several games for my son on a NetBSD/i386 1.6 system using binary packages from ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/1.6/i386/All

$ kabalone
Shared object "libGLU.so.3" not found

$ clanbomber
dlopen failed!
Shared object "libGLU.so.3" not found

XFree86 4 includes older libGLU. So I installed glu-3.4.2. And all was well.

I was told that this was a problem with the bulk builds.

Using NetBSD pkgsrc under Debian Linux 3.0 (i386): I fetched tarball from /pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/tar_files/pkgsrc.tar.gz. It is 12088163 bytes. It took 3.5 minutes to extract 92 MB of data.

Some docs are at http://www.netbsd.org/zoularis/. But it doesn't tell you where to get started if using pkgsrc. I see I need NetBSD's make(1).

So I retrieved ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/cjep/zoularis/linux/debian2.2-i386.tar.gz (956462 bytes). I unextracted in my home directory and set my path to use it. But it has /usr/local hard-coded in to it, so I unextracted to /usr/local.

Then I made the directories readable and browsable by everyone.

So I tried it:

antelope:~/netbsd/pkgsrc/net/gethost $ bmake
=> gethost-0.03.tar.gz doesn't seem to exist on this system.
=> Attempting to fetch gethost-0.03.tar.gz from http://www.reedmedia.net/software/gethost/.
=> [4226 bytes]
ftp: http://www.reedmedia.net/software/gethost/gethost-0.03.tar.gz: Unknown host
ftp> quit
=> FTP didn't fetch expected file, trying next site.

... and so on.

My terminal was changed too -- I could not see my keystrokes ("reset" fixed this). "which ftp" showed /usr/local/bsd/bin/ftp.

I ended up using cvs to grab the othersrc/bootstrap-pkgsrc.
