I've had some experience with BSD having installed 1.2 and 1.3.2 but am
not what you would call an expert.  So with particular reference to
NetBSD/arm32 1.4

1) Will it run on my RiscPC 710 because my StrongArm hasn't come yet?
( on order since before Christmas ) I think I remember seeing a message
saying 710s are a problem.

2) Will it print? ( I can't get 1.3.2 or 1.2 to work )

3) What is the easiest way to connect to a dial up ISP?  I've configured
a resolver and inetd but how do I communicate with the modem and start a
PPP session?  I'm not too bothered about mail and news yet I just want
to be able to FTP stuff from the NetBSD ftp site directly without
rebooting all the time.

4) Any tips or tricks to getting an X server to work.  Presumably now
it's included in the distribution sets for 1.4 it's just a case of
untaring and xinit :)

Answers to the above or a pointer to a FAQ that covers these topics all
gratefully received.
