But it returned as "unknown host".

I would like to know how you did compile X11.4 for Apollo shared
librarys.  I myself have X11.4 going on a DN3500 with 155Mb disk and
SR10.2, everything statically linked. Parts of the programs and libs
are stored on a NFS server (sun) to conserve local disk space, but
considering the (lack of) speed of the Apollo NFS implementation it is
a pain to load 1Mb of program over the net.

So I would like to rebuild the whole thing to use inlibs instead, but
it is not obvious from the man pages and other documentation how to do
this. If I could borrow some ideas from you, it would have been of
great help.

(How did you make xload work on an Apollo, I believed it was dependent
on having /dev/kmem???)
