Hi all,

First of all thank you to all the devs for making such an awesome release of NetBSD for the 680. We have recently just bought 3 of these little systems with the intention of running some form of unix on them and this release is just fantastic so far. The fact that it has GCC is fantastic!

We are in the process of compiling various code to the 680, using NFS mounted swap and compiling directly on the 680 itself. So far we have Lesstif 0.93.94 and NEdit 5.5 compiled and running from the latest sources, is there an easy way to 'package' these up so we can share them with the rest of the group? I read about using 'make package' but I assume this is for source compiled from the NetBSD pkg_src tree?

One thing we have seen pop up a few times is this kernel message : "masked HD6446x interupt.0x0000". Is this anything serious? or something we are doing wrong?

We have some of these wireless cards working flawlessly :

Nice and cheap too =)

Lastly... Does anyone know where we could source some 32MB memory upgrade boards from? 16MB seems barely capable of loading X with more than xclock =)
