This is exactly the problem. Unfortunately, I'm snowed under at this time
manually putting together SIG mailing lists groups (we are not at this
time connected to the internet, so processing is quite tedious and not
timely). 

I'm eager for volunteers! 

As per Bill's suggestion, here's a breakdown of some of the suggested 
topics and groups:

	comp.os.386bsd		(general questions and trivia)
	comp.os.386bsd.kernel	(discussion on kernel content/structure)
	comp.os.386bsd.windows	(ditto, on windowing systems like X)
	comp.os.386bsd.sharedlib (shared library and programming environment)
	comp.os.386bsd.net	(networking topics)
	comp.os.386bsd.bugs	(new bugs)
	comp.os.386bsd.ann	(announcements, fixes, additions)

I'd love to hear back from people, and help/suggestions are gratefully
appreciated.

Thank you.

Lynne Jolitz.
