it is the only distribution that attracted me. i have used Debian,
Fedora, BLAG, UTUTO-e & also tried FreeBSD. only NetBSD is my kind of
thing :-)

NO, i just left-clicked the link in my firefox & that asked me to
save. 3rd & 4th time i tried my usual method: right-click & save.
nothing else. i really fear because of it as i wanted to install GNOME
on NetBSD & if "pkgsrc" can not be "read" i will get locked into a
very bad situation. do you have any solution?
