Just to thank everyone for their help & suggestions. It took me a couple of re-installs to get it right, but I'm sitting here at a nice icewm desktop writing an email in a ssh shell in xterm on NetBSD 8.1.
I just got it running, so I need to install firefox, some text editor, etc, but the terminal works fine.
Thanks, Clay Daniels clays.sh...@sdf.org SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.org
