Make sure that's 1.4.3 at least ;-)  There have been a few problems with
1.5, but none that I know of on the SE/30's.

Nope.  It will take until 1.5.1 before the kinks are worked out.  There
are well-document workarounds for the problems, tho.

A "snapshot" is usually a NetBSD-current snapshot.  Since -current isn't
always 100% stable, you might want to stay away from it if you don't want
to be on the bleeding edge ;-)  I'd go with the regular 1.5 files.
