If you're not already on the "netbsd-users" list, that would be a good place to start. There is also the "port-i386" list list for i386-specific issues. Send mail to majordomo@sun-lamp.cs.berkeley.edu to subscribe. If you want to preview the lists to see if they are appropriate for you, connect to sun-lamp.cs.berkeley.edu via gopher and read the mailing list archives for the list you're interested in. >Also I just have .9 running and wonder if the best time to move to >"-current" is just after the code freeze on NetBSD happens near the end >of the month? (ie Will it be stable enought, esp. for X & networking?) They hope ;) Really it depends on how much work you're willing to do. If you're lazy you may prefer to run 0.9 until the 1.0 comes out in July. I bet that things will look pretty good after the freeze, but last-minute fixes prior to the release are probably inevitable. -- Paul Southworth CICNet Systems Support pauls@cic.net
