If you aren't outside the US and Canada, you should be able to find much more recent snapshots -- matching almost exactly the latest sources in the 1.1 branch of the NetBSD CVS tree, in some cases newer than what's available by sup -- on munitions.wasabi.com. A new exportable snapshot, with install disks and generic kernels, should be available on ftp.wasabi.com sometime today. The corresponging 'domestic' subset should be available shortly thereafter on munitions.wasabi.com. These snapshots are being built from sources extracted from the netbsd-1-1 branch by CVS only a few hours ago. If you sup today, you should have the same sources. -- Thor Lancelot Simon tls@cloud9.net Don't let your mouth write no check that your tail can't cash. --Bo Diddley
