I considered trying the NetBSD-4 BETA2-030soft-mac68k on my LC III, but
when I checked out the archives at the above address, I noticed that
there were no kernels included.  After I grabbed Perl from Tim's FTP
site, I decided to give 1.6.2 one more go.  So far everything appears to
be moving along quite nicely.

Also, which installer are you referring to?   I tried the installer
included with the 3.1 release, and it does not work on my LC III.  The
same installer works flawlessly on my Q700 however.

Thanks.
