Look on ftp.iastate.edu:/pub/netbsd/NetBSD-current/binaries/sparc The latest snapshot came out just a few days ago, and is comprised of statically linked binaries, although shared versions are supported if you roll your own. Also send mail to majordomo@netbsd.org and subscribe to the port-sparc mailing list. -- Paul Southworth CICNet Systems Support pauls@cic.net
