build it from the source, it was extremely less painful. I found a lot of
the pre-built package where out of date and some where not compatible with
each other.

it is actually not that bad building from source. my qube only has 16 mb of
ram. samba was the longest build at over 12 hours. everything else was
fairly reasonable.

Subject: installing X11


Hi,

I have installed NetBSD on my Qube 2 from Denis' excellent restore CD, and
it seems to be working fine.

However I thought it would be useful to have a basic X windows installation
on the Qube, and thought I would install one from pkgsrc.

This is where I have a problem...

There doesn't seem to be an X server package for the Qube. I have looked in
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/1.6/cobalt/All/ and although there
are several X packages none of them appear to be the X server.
Do I have to compile from source (I'd rather not on the Qube)?

Can anyone help me with getting X installed?

Cheers,

Owen
