Ask HN: Where can you find old NetBSD packages?
I've been meaning to set up an airgapped NetBSD 1.6 computer for playing music and writing but am unable to find any packages or source code for programs at the time. archive.netbsd.org only has packages from release 7 onwards.
Look for copies of physical distributions? The Internet Archive has ISOs from 1.5.2: https://archive.org/details/netbsd-1.5.2
Thanks for the advice, found a CD set on eBay for cheap. (The novelty of using CDs again after all this time is worth the price for me!)
Upload them online!
It looks to be the same set already on the Internet Archive but I'll upload them anyway in case there are any differences.
