RE: Moving from linux to NetBSD-i386

["Rose, Brian" <Brian.Rose%icn.siemens.com@localhost>]

The command line editing is a feature of the shell. You can get BASH for
NetBSD through using the package tools.

The NetBSD guide has a chapter on it.
http://www.mclink.it/personal/MG2508/nbsdeng/chap-pack.html

Not sure about the libraries, tho.

Also, I have an interest in minimal unix machines. I wrote a small document
(mostly for my own purposes) but you are welcome to look it over.

It is at
