Hey,

Keeping busy - there are a lot of things to work on these days, 
considering how NetBSD 2.0 will be out soon!

Hmmm... Maybe it's time to upgrade.

2004Q2 should be on all of the cvs mirrors, as far as I know.

True; recompiling them might take a while.

If you can get past the keyboard issue somehow, you could get a basic 
install of NetBSD 2.0 on it, then just add a user account which can su, 
tell it to use dhcp, and start ssh. Then forget about the keyboard, mouse, 
and floppy drive.

Then, you could compile all of the packages which are on agnus, copy over 
your config files, and just swap the system drive.

I'm in the process of doing this with my machines; it's even possible to 
upgrade to 2.0 remotely, if one were so inclined.

Good luck,
John
