It is not particularly useful to be able to load modules while installing on i386, probably the most useful one is dtrace, and this takes up about 20mb on a port that is already exceeding CD limits. Most stuff you'd want to use while installing is already in GENERIC. The modules set is still available compressed for installing into a target system, meaning modules are available after installation. While here, add man set to the installation DVD, it's helpful to be able to read e.g. the man page for fdisk when rescuing a system. |

NetBSD
NetBSD is a free, fast, secure, and highly portable Unix-like Open Source operating system. It is available for a wide range of platforms, from large-scale servers and powerful desktop systems to handheld and embedded devices.
Building
You can cross-build NetBSD from most UNIX-like operating systems. To build for amd64 (x86_64), in the src directory:
./build.sh -U -u -j4 -m amd64 -O ~/obj release
Additional build information available in the BUILDING file.
Binaries
Testing
On a running NetBSD system:
cd /usr/tests; atf-run | atf-report
Troubleshooting
- Send bugs and patches via web form.
- Subscribe to the mailing lists. The netbsd-users list is a good choice for many problems; watch current-users if you follow the bleeding edge of NetBSD-current.
- Join the community IRC channel #netbsd @ libera.chat.

cvs -d anoncvs@anoncvs.NetBSD.org:/cvsroot checkout -P src
