Since I managed to get NetBSD running on my Workpad Z50, I'm now working on adding in programs. Compiling from source is not very realistic on this machine, so I was planning to install NetBSD on something faster & try to cross compile. Couple of questions: 1. Can I compile binaries for 5.x using a 6.x install? or do I need to use 5.x? 2. If I can find older versions of programs, like KDE1 or KDE2, would it be possible that they could be compiled for 5.x & ran? 3. Since there are older versions of NetBSD available, & since I probably won't have this machine connected to the internet much, would an older, unsupported of NetBSD be any faster on this hardware? 4. Does anyone know if there are older versions of software archived for older versions of NetBSD? If so, where? I still have old copies of some Linux distros that I use on older hardware, but these have programs with them, where as the NetBSD iso files don't seem to have anything other than the basic install. Does anyone master a more full install of NetBSD that can be downloaded and installed? I'm guessing that the probably aren't that many precompiled binaries for hpcmips versus i386 or x64 or powerpc..... Thanx
