Hello!

Well, I did it.  NetBSD-0.9 (not current) is installed (much faster
than installing OS/2, let me tell you!)  My thanks to all of those
people who helped with advice, and most of all to those who made the
software possible/available (ie. you NetBSD guys).

A couple of questions though:
  a) the INSTALL_NOTES tells me to run `configure' after I extract
     the distriburtions (base09, etc09, ...).  However, `configure'
     isn't recognized when I type it at the shell prompt, and I can't
     seem to find it in the file system.  Any suggestions?
  b) this may be unimportant, but the install notes also mention
     files such as /etc/sendmail.cf which is also absent from the
     file system.

Any help would be much appreciated.
