Dear NetBSD/alpha:

After downloading the 1.6BETA_2 snapshot from

ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/alpha/snapshot/20020618-1.6_BETA2/

and installing it on a 3000/400 I ran top and got:

I was surprised to see numerous processes occupying 15 MB of RAM, but 
assume they're a result of the beta status of this version?  I didn't 
do anything I'm aware of to start them.
