Hi!

I'm new so i'm trying netbsd in an old pc at work, and
in my home pc.

I instaled netbsd 1.5.2, because is the version i
have, how can i upgrade to current? is possible using
the net?

is there a http site with the iso images?
at work ftp is forbiden (by firewalls), so i can't
download at work, and at home i have a 56k modem
conecction.

why pkg_add can't use http? or is posible? if it is
posible, where is the addres?

at work i have a 8G HD, i instaled netbsd in the first
4G, can i instal linux or freebsd in the next 4G?
Nothing hapens with the partition talbe?
Where is the boot config?
What parameters i need to send to linux? and to
freebsd?
If i alredy have a linux, can i install netbsd,
without damage for linux?

at work i installed sucesfully, and configured some
things, and instaled some packages from cd's.
I'm trying to configure Xfree, but at startx, the
mouse acts very wierd, unusable.
Is a generic PS/2 mouse. I'm using PS/2 and
/dev/wsmouse or /dev/wsmouse0, with the same result.
the live-cd doesn't boot at work, but at home it
detected the mouse (generic PS/2) as wsmouse in
/dev/wsmouse0, should i use this config at work too?

Is there a kind of gpmd to use the mouse in consoles? 

At home, with live-cd, i can't mount some linux
partition:

how can i mount the linux partition in the extended
partition?

If i want to install netbsd in the 3rd partition, does
the 4 parition (linux extended) would be ok or lost my
data?

Thanks.
