Yes I did. Will have to think out a proper strategy in future.

Thanks for the tip on dillo. I downloaded and installed. It works fine on 
the few sites that I tested.

How do I install Galeon when, as I mentioned in the original post, that it 
eventually asked for mozilla-1.0rc1, and I cannot find this file anywhere?

I have now got to the stage where I can download the required packages 
directly onto the NetBSD partition from within NetBSD. This helps to make 
things quicker. Has anyone written a utility to download packages from the 
ftp site where the ftp site version is newer? Perhaps I should just knock 
one up in shell?

On the subject of downloading, I note that space will soon be at a premium, 
as the drive I am using has only 2GB. Is it possible to create and mount a 
NetBSD partition on an IDEFS drive (APDL controller)?
