Hi,

a test distribution of NetBSD 1.4.3_ALPHA is now available for
the amiga(m68k) and mac68k ports.  You'll find them here:

   ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/amiga/snapshot/20000711-1.4.3_ALPHA/
   ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/mac68k/snapshot/20000706-1.4.3_ALPHA/

If you prefer to do an in-place upgrade (new kernel and then install
new user-land binaries) instead of a wholesale (re)installation, you
should note that you should do that only if you already run 1.4.1,
1.4.2 or an earlier release, but *not* if your current kernel and
user-land binaries is built from NetBSD-current code from after the
initial branch point for netbsd-1-4.  If "uname -r" says that you
are running "1.4<letter(s)>", e.g. 1.4P, your kernel is from
NetBSD-current after netbsd-1-4 was branched, and you cannot do an
in-place upgrade without inflicting grief on yourself. [In that case,
an "upgrade" for you would be 1.5_ALPHA, or 1.5 when available.]

Please also note the following:

 o The X11 and security bits are missing for the Amiga snapshot.

If you spot any serious problems with this code, please submit
formal problem reports using "send-pr".
