OK, Berserkely-heads, I've got a question for y'all.  I was wondering
just how large the Net/2 distribution is, since I'd like to obtain it
before it gets gobbled by the Death Star.  (I'm not saying what I'll do
with it afterwards ;-).  Anyway, I specifically want to know how large,
packed and unpacked, the KERNEL sources themselves are.  I can use GNU
for most of the utilities, etc. but what I really want is the kernel.
I've got a Mac IIci at home, and I'm running minix for unix-ness, but
I'd like to try porting the hp300 stuff to that platform.  I just don't
know how much disk space I'll need for the port.

Thanx for your help, and for continuing to keep BSD alive!

TTFN,
Chris
