Well we're trying to improve the Documentation on www.netbsd.org,
and have a 'Tracking NetBSD-current with CVS' page at
http://www.netbsd.org/Releases/tracking-current.html
We have someone looking at a 'Updating from a release to current
page', but if you would like to come up with some notes for
'now I have NetBSD running, what do I do to just recompile
everything', that would be good - particularly as you shouldn't
have any (NetBSD :) preconceptions
