  I was asking the people at InfoMagic about the BSDisc recently
(because I saw elsewhere that they usually update their disks every
few months, and the last BSDisc was November), and the reply I had was
that the next release of FreeBSD was not planned until the end of the
summer, but that there might be a new NetBSD in a month or so, so they
would update the disk then.  (it was a bit ambiguous, I don't know if
they have any inside information..)

  I would prefer to be able to get a new version on a CD-ROM (even if
it was a frozen -current), since I understand lots of useful work has
been done on the sparc port since 1.0 ..
