NetBSD on a Classic

Author	Topic
TiMacLover Senior Member USA 1282 Posts	Posted - 18 Jan 2002 : 01:28:10 I was reading in a post that Alien had been runnin NetBSD on his SE/30, would i be able to do this on my classic? If i can where can i download the version that the Classic can run? I image that it is the same as te version Alien has maybe he can pass it on. Im kinda new to BSD systems is there a included GUI and do i need a mac partition too. I was goin to install NetBSD on my Quadra 610 but it said i need a AU/X full hd or something. Any wayz i think that would rock on my Classic. jeremy "I keep my friends close, but I keep my enemies closer" Napoleon My AOL, AIM Sceen name is got 007s milk Covert Ops N.F.C Newton Force Captain 68k Macintosh Liberation Army Macs Liberated:15

Alien Junior Member Netherlands 269 Posts	Posted - 18 Jan 2002 : 11:48:28 Yup… The requirements for NetBSD/mac68k are: • 68020, 68030 or 68040 CPU • 68881, 68882 or 68040 built-in FPU • PMMU (built in on 68030 and 68040) So no go on the Classic. You might try running Minix on the Classic, though. ,xtG .tsooJ RTFM

TiMacLover Senior Member USA 1282 Posts	Posted - 18 Jan 2002 : 17:39:03 the Minix one does it have a GUI cause i have lots of trouble with gettin one. I got a centris can NetBSD run well? Do i just need a AU/X partition and mac os?

They probably have the X window system, but otherwise they just have command line interfaces. Wonko The Sane Engineer-in-training 1 Mac Liberated (more to come)
