	It would be great if someone could send in an update for the
	alpha FAQ (for this any any other things that would help).

	Ideally someone who has just experienced the fun and can best
	explain to other new users :)

	Best method would be to download the current page, edit, and
	then email in (page or diffs). If you don't want to get into
	html then just email in some text.

	NetBSD is user supported, and some of the best user support
	can come i updating the help for other users! :)
