 have just installed NetBSD 1.1 on my PC, the problem I have is that 
although I appear to have installed it fine, I have little information
on how to recompile the kernel for my machine connect it to the internet,
configure the system genreally and do some stuff that I know I can but have
no instructions on how to like set up a proxy server for my home network?

Casn anyone point me in the right direction for information on running the
system.

What are the X windows options I have Xfree on cartridge are there any 
others? I m not gonna install till I get the main NetBSD going properly.

TIA
