	Well, I cut Kermit (my MacOS partition dedicated to storing all of
my NetBSD files and utilities, etc) in half and added a 125 MB usr
partition, and have attempted to install the 1.3_ALPHA snapshot... but now
the Installer is crashing when it tries to install the base package. Here
is what Macsbug tells me: (btw I will try booting without Macsbug, and I
already allocated 3.5MB RAM to the Installer, but I'll allocate more ;-) )

	It was something similar that I got when I tried cpin'ing that
file... it was about a 3 or 4 MB .tar file. Might it be that the Installer
just doesn't have enough RAM to process such a large file? I will try
allocating more RAM and see if that helps me....
