I want a UNIX OS that contains all the expected apps which includes mail
and everything else. Syspkgs just removes future flexibility from the
OS, and gives something like Solaris, which is very inflexible. 

I have no interest in things like hpcsh, which I assume is yet another
poke-with-stick interface box that doesn't seem to be sold anymore. Perhaps
there should be a different distribution for the various embedded toys.

NetBSD/sun3 can install on a 250 meg drive.
