How very interesting. Now where did I > leave that Digital UNIX CDROM?" :-) More recent snapshots are available as tar files, too. I've found the easiest way to install is to unpack a basic system on another machine, boot the Alpha via NFS, and install on the hard disk from there. The most recent snapshot on ftp.netbsd.org is 970423, which is quite stable. I've got a more recent one (around June 16th or so) running on my mail file server at home, which I would be happy to pack up for you in some format you find reasonable, if you want. (It will take some time, though; I'm on 166 MHz AXPpci33s and uploading via a modem.) cjs Curt Sampson cjs@portal.ca Info at http://www.portal.ca/ Internet Portal Services, Inc.
