There is, it's available from puma.bevd.blacksburg.va.us in pub/NetBSD/cray-ymp/progs. Needs some work, but it has been used successfully. > As for cpin/cpout in the minishell, I am disappointed with them; Feel free to fix 'em. The source is available. The installer was hacked together in a matter of days and it would be nice to have a more polished program, but I'm certainly not a Mac programmer and don't really have any inclination to become one... ;-) > It would also have been nice if the installer had been shipped >with the memory usage set up correctly. It was. For my systems. I've never had to increase the memory partition, although a number of people have. We probably should have extracted, updated and repacked the installer. I'm still hoping that someone will pick it up and make it much nicer... >However, the Mac-side utilities for NetBSD (installer, mkfs, booter) >leave something to be desired. Perhaps they will be better in the >next release version. Only if someone works on them. It's free software. Brian Gaeke is working on the booter. No one that I'm aware of has picked up the installer and mkfs tools. -allen -- Allen Briggs - end killing - allen.briggs@bev.net ** MacBSD == NetBSD/mac68k ** Where does all my time go? <a href="http://www.netbsd.org/">Guess.</a>
