I've been slogging through the source code to config on my NetBSD 1.1
system in an attempt to learn what things like "swap generic" really
mean, and I've had some success. Still, though, it seems this
particular utility is a low point in an otherwise good field of
documentation for NetBSD. If I knew the required info for config, I
would consider volunteering to write a man page. As it is, I just have
to ask for one. Can we do better on this, i.e., come up with a man
page for config that tells all the info? Barring that (or even not
barring it), is there a faster way for me to pick it up than looking
through the source? How did each of you gurus out there learn what the
heck is going on inside that magic black box?

Thanks for any info!
