Ask and ye shall receive...

There is now a new version of the installer at:

<ftp://ftp9.ba.best.com/pub/sbrown/NetBSD/installer/Installer_1.1f.sea.hqx>

Source archive is in the same area as always.  Only the minor bug fixes
requested herein are corrected in this version.  I'm hoping to get
a chance to look at the large-partition problems again this weekend.

Steve B.

p.s.  Sorry about the paging being disabled.  I had been experimenting
        with going towards a full-fledged MacOS app instead of
        depending on Think C's default "console" behavior(basically
        working toward future features like scroll bars and proper
        repaint when you move a window, etc.).  But, I've re-enabled
        it until I get things working the right way in a future
        release.
