Thank you.  To me the problem with the documentation is that it assumes t=
o
much.  (My problem)  The FreeBSD has much more complete docs than NetBSD.=
 =

However, neither site, AFAICT, documents step wise a procedure to install=
 the
o/s.  Don't get me wrong.  I'm not really complaining as I am free to go =
to a
different o/s at any time.  The issue to me is that comming from a Win
background many of the config issues are taken care and/or buried in the =
win
o/s.  Therefore, a user is never exposed.  Perhaps all the problem will b=
ecome
solved when I take the Unix classes this Fall.  I hope so.
