Go to http://www.netbsd.org/Sites/net.html to see the list of the
official distribution sites.

We need to know exactly what you downloaded and precisely how you cannot
install it. A verbatim log of what you've done. Without it, there's no
much we can help you.

It depends on how you want to install. If you choose to accomodate both
MacOS and NetBSD on a single disk drive, you will have to repartition
the drive which usually means you will also have to reinstall MacOS.
But if you choose to install NetBSD on a separate disk drive, you don't
have to repartition your MacOS drive at all.

What do you mean by that? It requires at least 4MB RAM and roughly
50-60MB of disk space, but these figures are very minimum. If you are
just trying to get yourself familiar with UNIX-like OS, 200-300MB of
disk space should be plenty enough to install some add-on software.

The name ;-) Well, seriously, to a casual observer, there's not much
difference between them, except the installation procedures.
> 3. What I have to install ?
Read the file INSTALL which is found in the same directory as the
distribution sets.

At the same place as the rest of the distribution sets.
Oh, BTW, the version you want to get is 1.3.2. I wouldn't recommend a
current snapshot to anyone who's trying NetBSD for the first time.
