All,

(I've finally gotten NetBSD 3.0 up and running on my Jornada 720, with 
the help of Jason Mitchell's very useful jinstall.gz file....)

Compiling software (using swap space on an NFS mount) is turning out to 
be a nightmare.  One package depends on another package which in turn 
depends on another which is itself dependent on a package which 
ultimately fails the build process, breaking the chain all the way back 
up.  (In my case, I can't for the life of me get Perl5 to compile...)

I am noticing that there are A LOT of precompiled packages for NetBSD 
1.6 on HPCARM up on the NetBSD ftp site.  Does anyone know if/where 
these same packages might exist, but compiled for NetBSD 3.0?   If there 
were an archive somewhere of all this then we could just 'pkg_add' and 
all would be well.

Also, has anyone noticed that you can't really reboot from within HPCARM 
for NetBSD 3.0?  It boots back out to WinCE, and I don't know about you 
but even then I have to take the battery out and put it back in to reset 
the monitor to acceptable levels of brightness/contrast.  Then it's back 
to hpcboot.exe, etc. etc.  Oh, also, I can't seem to contact the 'apm' 
deamon on my system.  But I'm betting that this was something that just 
wasn't toggled on when the kernel I'm using was compiled?
