I'd recommend not installing _any_ of NetBSD 1.3, including the base.tgz
set unless you are sure that it will run on your machine.  What kind of
Mac do you have (sorry, it appears I've forgotten)?  Is is on the list of
supported machines in the 1.3 INSTALL doc?

If your machine _is_ supported by 1.3, you'll need to install the the 1.3
kernel, base, and etc sets.  You'll also need the 1.3 X distribution.  If
your machine is _not_ supported by 1.3 and you're still using 1.2.1 plus
some custom kernel, you'll need to make sure you have the 1.2 X
distribution and the _old_ color X server.  The newer server is really
only for people using 1.3.

Does this make sense?

Later.
