I finally got EnigMail working with native Mozilla on NetBSD/i386 -current (latest Mozilla 1.5.1 from pkgsrc with enigmail 0.82.2). I uploaded the XPI files here. To install the XPI files, run Mozilla as root, open the directory that contains the three XPI files in the browser and click on the files to install them, in the following order: The IPC module, the enigmime package and finally the enigmail package. Finally start Mozilla and configure enigmail as mentioned on the EnigMail website.

What BSD gives to the world28 Sep 02
Today I read an interesting article on BSD and what it gave (and still gives) to the world, you can find it here, this is probably the best article about BSD, Unix and Linux, I ever read. Also the changes to du(1) have been commited to NetBSD-current, so we'll get the long awaited feature with 1.7 ;-).
NetBSD 1.69 Sep 02
NetBSD 1.6 is finally at RELEASE.
BSD multimedia6 Sep 02
Today I read a very interesting article on how to turn
your BSD box into a powerful multimedia workstation. Although it
was written with FreeBSD in mind, it might also be useful to read for a
NetBSD user interested in enjoying multimedia on its NetBSD machine.
The September Issue of
Daemon News on-line E-zine includes a small Q&A guide on how to
properly partition a disk for NetBSD written by Grey Wolf.
