I believe our friend accidentally typo-ed the "P" key in place of the "O" f=
or "OS," but that's just my guess.
What would you put on this image? I've been building 4.0 packages on the z5=
0 with distccd to mooch resources off of another computer, but it's still p=
ainfully slow :P
It's really not that hard to install it yourself: you can do it just with o=
ne CF, but I had to do a lot of reading in order to figure it out (and I su=
ppose that's part of the fun). I've been mulling over whether or not to wri=
te a doc myself for a
colleague who has a spare z50 lying around and is interested in messing
with NetBSD.
