I built about 576 packages for 1.4 on the m68k platform and put them on 
CDs last month.  Copies were sent to both the East and West Coast to 
folks who have access to copy thme up to the NetBSD Server.  Maybe they 
got lost in the mail?  Or someone got tied up on other things?

Anyway, I'm now up to 600+ packages built for the m68k platforms.  And as 
of tonite I have a working ADSL line running too!  By this weekend I 
should have my mac68k system online and will be able to send the packages 
somewhere or to someone who can post them.  Any takers?
