I have succesfully completed a new install (SA, 41MB RAM, ether3) from the 
latest bootloader and sets on the main ftp site - admittedly using one of 
my own compiled kernels.

Just to say that I had no problems with the basic install and setting up 
of X and xdm.

ncurses, pine and ncftp all configured and compiled with no errors 
straight out of the box (so to speak).
I cant say anything about tin (because I've lost the source for it!) but 
it configured and compiled fine on my previous installation of RiscBSD 
(1.2-release - not SA aware).

If someone would like to tell me now to make sets I can convert all the 
above mentioned packages to sets.
