Default

I haven't installed anything yet ..
here is what I did a while ago :
I went to
http://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/...d-stable<br />
I guess that is the right choice .. I am using 5.1 stable branch ..
but when as root I did the following :
Code:
export CVS_RSH="ssh"
export CVSROOT="anoncvs@anoncvs.jp.NetBSD.org:/cvsroot"
cd /usr
cvs checkout -r netbsd-5 -P src
I had to face an authentication problem ..
I used the jp mirror not because it is closest but because accessible ..
other mirrors options usually end up with time-outs ..
it seems like NetBSD with default settings is surrounded by problems that OpenBSD already solved .. for instance I never had problems like no route to host .. a strange example here :
while I could not connect to NetBSD.org main server from my NetBSD box , I did it many times from my OpenBSD machine .. why ? I still don't know .. I am using dhcp for both ..
I hope someone helps me here as I really want to use both operating systems for study and fun .. thanks in advance ..
what is there in OpenBSD default network settings that ancestral NetBSD lacks and so I could not connect to NetBSD servers except the japanese mirror ???
if this can be solved then I will go current as pkgsrc then won't be irresponsive ..
