Hello
I use a Dvorak keyboard, and am in the process of getting NetBSD running.
In Linux switching keyboard maps it's as easy as a keyboard map *file*.
Wouldn't this be easy to implement? I would hate to have to recompile my
kern evry time I wish to switch between qwerty and dvorak :)

Also, Mkfs for mac kind of sucks. Isn't there any way it can guess more of
the info? I own a Zip drive, and, well, I just don't *know* how many
bytes/inode I want, or Cylinders/group there are on a Zip 100. Is there
hope? http://www.iomega.com has limited info....stuff I coulda guessed.

One more thing - where's the X-Server for NetBSDm68k? Is it B&W only? I'm
salivating...somebody help me
