I've just installed NetBSD 1.0 on my 486 DX2 66 (8MB RAM) and would
like, if I may, to ask a few questions.

1) Is there a UK keyboard map available? I've looked through my new
installation and can't seem to find one.

2) How about virtual console support?

3) Is there a utility for adjusting the kernel timezone offset or must
I recompile a new one?

4) Should I really be using the NetBSD-current distribution instead?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can take the time to answer :)

Mike
