This book has been invaluable to me since I started running 386bsd. It talks about everything you mention with the exception of slip. A few of the chapters are: Configuring the Kernel, Installing Terminals (modems too), Printing, Adding a Disk, Networking, Setting up Mail, Uucp... There are other chapters that start off lightly (like booting and shutting down), so this book is useful for people staring at ground zero (like I did), as well as those who are already familiar with UNIX. Hope this helps. -Shawn Carey
