  I am trying to install XFree with NetBSD.  I have come upon a 
stumbling block--The XFree install program that came with the 386BSD
version of XFree86 complains that I have a kernal that doesn't support
X.  I looked around a bit and saw that there were pre-prepared kernals
for 386BSD but none for NetBSD.  SO:

  1) Do I have to recompile my NetBSD kernal?  If so where do I find the
     changes so that the new kernal will support X?

  2) Do I have to install XFree86 from scratch?  Or can I continue with the
     386 version?

  Thanks, in advance.  Any help is much appreciated!

Cheers,

Rob
