My mac is the only netbsd machine I've ever used (though I've tried, 
unsuccessfully several times to get Net and OpenBSD on a couple different
PCs...) so my question is what does sysinst do? is it a bootloader-based 
install program or something?

I'm most fluent in french (though I can make my way through German and 
Swedish as well)...if there were _one_ critical document to have a french
translation of, what would it be? I might want to take a crack at it, and 
see how it goes. Then maybe I'd do some more. Which one would we like to 
have first?
