Hi.
I know that there are a lot of pages about z50 and netbsd but I'm a
bit confusing.
I'm lurking this ML since months and I collected a lot of info about
the installation steps.
on the hpcmips port webpage I find that the last release is the 2.1
and in this ML I found that 'z50 works flawlessy with the standard
kernel of netbsd 3.1,without the need of patching kernel'.
1.I guess that there are a typing error in it, right?
2.normally I used (for the last tries in install netbsd) the zzball
page. is ever uptodate with the current state?
3.I have a ethernet pcmcia card and a wireless card (both compatible
with netbsd). I would like to install trough ftp and then I (think
that I) need only the "launcher kernel", the one used for install
netbsd.
where can I find it? I found only the tar.gz parts (etc, games, x11,ecc).
4. I don't have the memory expansion for the z50 (impossible to
find... anyone that sell one?) and I would like to use it for www
browsing, blogging, sshing and somehow skypeing... what I've to
install?

many thanks for the help but sometimes having a lot of info about
something make it hardier to understand...
