Hi all,

Just had a thought, related to disk space usage and the like.
The way I understand is that at the moment 3 versions of NetBSD are
being maintained: the 2.0.x branch, the 2.1.x branch, and 3.x.
What are the main differences that would affect the Jornada? The
changelog suggests very little. Specifcally, what matters to me most
is:

- X11 with touchscreen
- PCMCIA support (my Linksys WPC11 was supported with 1.5.1 so this
should not be an issue, but that was hpcmips)
- IPSec and/or WPA

I assume that 2.0.x and 2.1 would take up less space than 3.0?
Given the above, would anyone say I'm still better off using 3.0? What
version are you guys using on your Jornada?

Cheers

Michael
