How stable will I find it? Is it possible to leave my existing Mac system 7.1 stuff (about 120Mb) on the disk and install NetBSD?? I'm running a light duty mail server on an SE/30, and it is very stable for me. I'm running 1.2.1, not the latest stuff, but I've been up for almost a month since the last time I booted, and so far it's working fine. That's with only 8mb of ram, I guess 20 would be nice, but so far haven't had any major thrashing. You will have to build an A/UX partition, but you can easily fit netbsd into 500-120 mb. Brad
