Hi Nick, Ok I'll tell you (and everyone) a little bit about it.

It was in production serving http when 4.4 was current, but I think after 4.5, mac68k no longer had a maintainer, so it just became a lava lamp. > So...build what you want! It's part of the fun! Maybe, if I NFS mount src and ports. It doesn't have a lot of disk space. > As for cross compiling: 1) no. 2) WHY? that's like jogging for health, > and taking a short cut because its easier... Well I did worse. Lazy cheat. I left 4.4 on it, installed what I needed from 4.2 packages, symlinked any any libs it complained about. > And run 5.1, building the packages you want shouldn't take more than a > few weeks. When I installed 4.4, I modified the install script to accept tar instead of tgz to save time. If I did it again, I would have also made it skip the keygen sequence on the first boot, as it takes half a day. This could be generated somewhere else and copied over post install. I also run telnetd on it from an older version of obsd (i think it was removed somewhere back in the 3.x series)... because ssh takes 10 mins to login. PF restricts this by IP and OS, to another obsd local box. .d.d.
