Practice!
No, seriously, you have to build an INSTALL/INSTALL_SMALL kernel in
sys, and then you go into /usr/src/distrib/i386/floppies and type
"make". The mechanisms are automatic after that, though you might find
yourself wanting to tweak them.

It would be hard to know if NO ONE is similarly bereft, but certainly
I am not.
(BTW, it's just "lint". The directory is called "xlint" for the same
reason the install sources are in "xinstall" -- what would happen if
you typed "make lint" or "make install" under normal circumstances?)
