I've been updating the instructions regularly - I just don't post them
anymore, as they get out of date so quickly.  For the most up-to-date
instructions on doing a source upgrade from 1.0 to 1.0A, take a look
at:

ftp://charon.amdahl.com/pub/agc/NetBSD-1.0-to-1.0a-instructions-after-95-04-08
ftp://charon.amdahl.com/pub/agc/NetBSD-1.0-to-1.0a-instructions-after-95-06-26
ftp://charon.amdahl.com/pub/agc/NetBSD-1.0-to-1.0a-instructions-after-95-07-08

It all depends on the date of your sources.
[And I did a source upgrade on one of the i386 boxes here two weeks ago.]

fvwm does things a lot like mwm, is free, virtual, and quite small.
Take a look on

Version 1.24r is stable, 2.0 is in pre-release beta form at the moment,
but is quite nice.

Cheers,
Alistair
