I've just installed 4.0-beta on an Inspiron 3500 laptop but as yet
there seems to be a lack of prebuilt packages. Due to lack of hdd
space I've used remote nfs mounts for /usr/pkgsrc_distfiles and
/usr/pkgsrc and started building required packages which is a slow
job. The server is NetBSD 3.1_RC1 and p4-2400 vs p2-366 of laptop. Is
it possible to build for NetBSD 4.0 on a 3.1 system? (I'm guessing
not but would feel even sillier if I didn't ask and it turned out to
be possible)
