Hello, list!

I just have subscribed, and see that there is still a little bit of 
traffic in this list's archives. So, following ancient netiquette - I 
want to briefly introduce myself:

Somebody with a hp9000/318, because I wanted a machine with 
68020+FPU+MMU. It came without any peripherals nor software.

I ended up with a diskless netbooting NetBSD 1.5.3 setup -
Thank you very much for you who have contributed to that by either 
providing software or helpfull postings.

The machine has 4MB RAM, so it works, but 200K free memory make it slow: 
swapping whenever/before it runs any program.

g++ Hello_world.c swaps along for 2 hours, but completes and runs nicely, 
and another mini program searching for primes takes just as long to 
compile, but then runs very smoothly.

Now I'm interested in making an extra small kernel for it, or netbooting 
any of the original HP disk images, or stuff completely made up from 
scratch - or in finding a 319 or so with more memory.

However, all of this is very low priority stuff, given a few 10 hrs each 
year. So if anyone experiments with similarly outdated things, I'd be 
happy to know :-)

Greetings, Joerg
