Yeah, I knew it wasn't startx, but this still begs the question of what *do* you type to go in the NeXTStep GUI?
I've been racking my brain to remember that, and I just cannot, I'm sorry.
Yep, I left out the part where I read way too much information about netinfo. I happily missed that era of Mac OS X. ;)
Lucky man.
I don't have the machine to test, but it sounds like you are telling me that just typing exit should get it to go into NeXTStep and the login was incidental. Which makes sense to me.
Yes.
But this still leaves the question of how to get it to automatically boot into NeXTStep.
I've never seen one that didn't just boot into NeXTSTEP. Dead NVRAM? Or is it actually booting up into single-user mode by default? in which case simply hitting ^D should get you past that, but it should do that automatically. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
