ComradeVlast<p>Looking for some more advanced techies to help me out here. I was browsing the files of old abandonware (as one does) and came across the .zym file format in a game called Gubble 2. Does anyone have any idea what this file format is? Is it something proprietary by the gubble devs? Something that just isn't used anymore? The only thing google brought up regarding .zym was some mods for quake.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tech</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/techquestions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>techquestions</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/fileformats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fileformats</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/abandonware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>abandonware</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/windows98" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>windows98</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/techie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>techie</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/oldtech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>oldtech</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a></p>
183231bcb<p><span>I am trying to learn how to install NetBSD, starting with trying it in a virtual machine (Gnome Boxes). <br><br>I downloaded </span><code>NetBSD-10.0-amd64.iso</code><span> and I am following the guide here, using the default on most options.<br></span><a href="https://netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/part-install.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/part-install.html</a><span><br><br>I selected a "full installation." Which seems to work. Where I get stuck is trying to enable binary package installation.<br><br><br>I keep getting stuck on the screen shown in the first image.<br><br>It seems frozen on that screen indefinitely. <br><br><br><br>If I press </span><code>ctrl+c</code><span>, I get back to the previous page, which looks like the second attached image. I can also further return to the previous screen, as shown in the third image.<br><br><br>How can I enable installation of binary packages?<br><br>UPDATE: The issue was that network autoconfig didn't work correctly when running in Boxes. The same choices </span><i>did</i><span> work in virtualbox. So I'm going to have to write a bug report for Boxes.<br><br></span><a href="https://transfem.social/tags/NetBSD" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NetBSD</a> <a href="https://transfem.social/tags/FediHelp" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FediHelp</a> <a href="https://transfem.social/tags/TechQuestions" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TechQuestions</a> <a href="https://transfem.social/tags/GnomeBoxes" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GnomeBoxes</a> <a href="https://transfem.social/tags/BSD" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BSD</a> <a href="https://transfem.social/tags/pkgsrc" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pkgsrc</a></p>
