Oh, and it would be nice to know if it won't work >on a IIsi. Thanks in advance. The main ftp site is cray-ymp.acm.stuorg.vt.edu:/pub/NetBSD_Mac. You might also find the mailing list helpful if you get into this. Send a "subscribe macbsd-general" note to majordomo@netbsd.org. And yes, the documentation is a little weak when you first get started. But hell, I'd rather have the programmers improve the product than fool around with documentation :-). Seriously, I'd be happy to help once you got the distribution. Unfortunately, there may be some problems with MacBSD on a IIsi still. Check out the materials on the mailing list and ftp site, and if everything's a go, email me and I can walk you through the installation. -David. -- ________________________________________ David C.
