Nothing, on a IIsi. There is a mozilla 0.8.1 binary package on
ftp://la.causeuse.org/pub/netbsd/mozilla-0.8.1.tgz (a Mac IIsi, btw ;), but
it runs with glacial speed even on a 68040/33. Netscape is not available on
NetBSD/m68k.

"Killed" in what sense? la.causeuse.org runs BIND just fine.

la.causeuse.org runs sendmail just fine. Modify a generic .mc file in
/usr/share/sendmail/cf, look into the Makefile, make and cp xxx.cf
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf. Then /etc/rc.d/sendmail restart and you're set.

No colours on intvid displays with NetBSD/mac68k, unfortunately, only 8 bit
greyscale (640x480).
