Mel,
I thiknk I am just a little behind in my questions.
I have tga X running fine on two boxes, now I want to add KDE for my
build box.  Gonna use it for building  toys...
Tried to make KDE3 with 1.6 from  8 sept 2002, the basic release of
1.6.  I am seting up cvs now, so I will be able to build updated 
kerenels etc.
I have found some kernel snapshots on netbsd.org...are these the Manuel
snapshots you mention?  Dumb question, can I just pop in the new kernel 
from
these snampshots or do I have to redo userland too?
thanks
bob
