I had a friend give me a copy of Net/BSD. I would like to play with it and
learn but I can't find any information on how to set up or configure things.
Right off the bat I am having problems with the system saying "all network
ports are in use" and I haven't a clue how to fix it.  Is there any howto
files that exist that explain how to set things up? I've played with linux 
and it is awesome for support like this but it just seems to be lacking in
Net/BSD. Somebody please prove to me I'm wrong and point me in the direction
of where I can find detailed information on how to configure this thing. The
only web site I am aware of is www.netbsd.org but there isn't much there in
the way of config information.

Thanks.
