Also it only runs on certain Macs (older ones) so check out the read me before downloading the 20-40Mb of files (: cray-ymp.acm.stuorg.vt.edu /Pub/NetBSD_Mac/ MacLinux was to be released in its initial release January or February of this year, however nothing has been said yet about its imminent arrival. from ianw@jolt.mpx.com.au (Ian Webster): NetBSD 1.0 is on Another Ian & Stuart's Australasian Mac CD - files are about 40MB. Some of the recent traffic from the various Linux adventurers is also on the CD. The just released hack of X11R5 for Mac NetBSD will be on the soon to be released AI&S patch CD. in its initial release January or February of this year, however nothing has been said yet about its imminent arrival.
