Thanks, will start the download then :-)

heh, did not know 1.3.2 was out, will do that then.

BTW, my specs:
Sun Sparc 1 with 16MB RAM, quantum 210S drive (210MB) monocrome frame
buffer/19"display, type 4 keyboard,mouse. 

For some reason I could not get this machine to boot with any other
floppies. NetBSD (1.2.1 to 1.3.1) boot disks would prompt me for a
timezone when sysinst started and crash, FreeBSD would dump the core (or
try, read only filesystem) then go back to the openboot prompt. Redhat
(used as a last resort only) would go back to openboot prompt after
detecting the hard drives.

Man am I glad that NetBSD is stable, i never want to install and OS on
this box again :-)

Well, after I get this downloaded and continue installation, i will know
if it went good or of any problems.
