OK, at least three of you want to play with it.  There are a couple
of hitches so far...

1) I only have a 28.8 dialup connection, so you can't FTP it from
   me directly.  (Unless you guess when I'm up and what my dynamic
   address of the moment is 8-)  Jason Thorpe said he was working
   on getting me access to the CVS tree and ftp.netbsd.org, but I
   have not heard more than that in a couple of weeks.  (I guess
   we could all spam Jason...  No, better not...)

2) It has yet to recompile itself completely.  I've run make -k a
   few times, but it's not quite there.  I'm not sure if I should
   resup or just hand out what I've got.  Probably does not matter
   too much.  This IS -current after all.

3) I built everything with PMAP_NEW=yes and UVM=yes, so if you
   don't want that stuff, you either need to let me know and wait
   a few days/weeks for a rebuild, find another source for a
   snapshot, or build one yourself.

Any suggestions?

Phil/Matthias/Ian/others-with-write-access, do you have someplace
I could put this and move to to ftp.netbsd.org for me?

Anyone know how long it takes from someone saying I'll start the 
process tomorrow, until it's done?

BTW, I think I have postgresql running on my 532.  I'll let you
know for sure when I rebuild a kernel with the SVR4 SHMEM stuff
turned on, or when I figure out how PostgreSQL initialized its
database without the SHMEM stuff.
