I've looked at several of the US FTP sites and of those I've found, all are 45byte files - apparently empty. If the mouse is defined and enabled in /etc/rc.conf ('psm0' as sysinstall can do for you). xf86config (XFree86 3.3.6) trips over a "busy" mouse, and exits back to the command line. Not all Logitech PS/2-type mice (mouses?) are equal. Although the system saw a 2-button mouse (P/N: 95426-0000) , XFree86 didn't. Switching to a Logitech 3-button mouse (MouseMan P/N: 811158-00) solved that mouse problem. I changed su's shell to tcsh [chsh -s /usr/local/bin/tcsh] which successfully changed the shell however, upon USER exiting X-windows on the console, su generates this Warning: no access to tty (Inappropriate ioctl for device). Thus no job control in this shell. su is allowed but it appears to revert to the default shell. (I really like tabbed filename completion.) Finally, has anyone gotten Netscape for Tru64 to browse properly? I got it installed and it launches but complains that it "cannot find" urls by domain name. It displays my local webserver by IP number (192.168.10.1). The same domains it can't find I can ping without any problem so I'm almost confident that the nameserver entry in resolv.conf is good.
