hi,

I know that this has been asked before, but I can't seem to find it in the
mailinglists:
how do I turn off those stupid "le0: something failed" messages. I tried
stripping out some lines from am7990.c, but my C skills are so bad that I
couldn't get the kernel to compile anymore after that. After cursing at the
monitor for about 4 hours I realized that the le0 messages have to go before
I can actually use this machine.

Another problem that doesn't have anything to do with the previous one is
that I have a lot of problems compiling programs from the ports collection.
The compile usually stops with "illegal reloc type mix" somewhere in the
last lines. I can't remember getting these messages with 1.4.1, but I didn't
use X on it back then, and it has been close to a year since the last
reboot/install :-) so I could be wrong.

You could just run xconsole(1).

quickest option - run xconsole of an xterm -C

This would probably be with KDE and other large c++ programs?

I believe this is fixed in 1.5_ALPHA, otherwise for 1.4.X
you can use the 'c++rt0.o.PIC' in
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/sparc/c++rt0/
(see the README in that dir).

Sorry "run xconsole or an xterm -C"

Out of 18 installed packages I got the precompiled version for these:

Mesa-3.1, fvwm2, gsm, libtool, readline, rplay, rx and xlockmore. Some of
them don't seem that large?
