 oops, you're right. I guess I took the installer file too literally when 
it said:
<snip>
Installation of base files:

	Select the "Install" menu item from the "File" menu and install
	base.tgz, etc.tgz, netbsd.tgz, and any other sets you wish to
	install	at this time
<snip>

     are all the files in the base folder installable w/the installer, or 
do I have 
to say for example, install the X files from w/in bsd even tho' they were 
listed as 
part of the distribution sets?
     I downloaded the 'NetBSD/mac68k Frequently Asked Questions' as a 
web-archive 
for frequent consultation but I can't seem to find  anything on how to 
copy stuff 
from the Mac OS partition to the bsd partion w/out using the installer. 
Where do 
I get this info?

TIA,
