Hi, Brad! A little bit of clarification... Several months ago, a BSD for the Macintosh, called MacBSD was released in essentially an alpha state. We planned for an update soon after, but the domino effect kicked in when the news hit the net, and we got too busy fixing things to get a real decent release out the door. Since that time, we've been mostly playing catch-up with NetBSD-current, and we're now pretty much there. We hope to have a much improved release out sometime in the next month or two--by the end of January, probably. We hope to have support for the IIci and IIsi by then. No promises, though ;-) I just wanted to point this out lest someone spend too much time downloading what's there now, installing it, getting comfortable with it--only to find it superceded very soon after. -allen -- Allen Briggs Find the cost of freedom / Buried in the ground - end Mother Earth will swallow you / Lay your body down killing - allen.briggs@vt.edu ***** MacBSD == NetBSD/Mac *****
