    If you don`t have internet access then you may be able to obtain the NetBSD distribution on a CD-ROM. NetBSD is available on the Gateway! series of CD-ROMS. Unfortunately production seems to have stopped and they are no longer available. NetBSD was possibly included on Meeting Perls 1 and 2 which have now been superseded by later CD's in the series which do not appear to contain a NetBSD distribution.
