  I've just installed NetBSD on a sytems with a Maxtor LXD-340A hd,
i486 processor, 8 megs of ram.  The installation appeared to have no
problems, (ie I had no errors), and I installed all distribution sets.
My problem is that several programs seem to be missing. I can't find a
binary of elvis/vi and when I went to compile the source, I didn't
have a compiled version of make.  My question is, is there a shell
script that I missed that compiles the sources for the rest of the
commands? Or is something missing from the distribution sets. I got
them off of agate.berkeley.edu.  Also is there a FAQ for this piece of
software? and if so, where is it? 

Thanks.
