Being relatively new to this BSD on a PDA thing, I thought I would try to
install it to my beloved IBM Z-50.  
The trouble at the moment seems to be finding a distribution.  All the web
pages refer to a directory called "snapshot" in the NetBSD/arch/hpcmips
hierarchy, but all the mirrors I have tried seem to be empty.  Is there a
new distribution being readied ?  Am I missing something ?

I tried the NetBSD stuff about 6 months ago, and it showed real promise, but
the version I tried did not have a functioning version of X-Free and, worse
still, could not go into suspend mode (the screen would stay on). Can anyone
tell me if this has been fixed yet.

Many thanks

Dave
