I am new to NetBSD for the Amiga. I wanted to learn Unix from a Sys Admins point
of view. I had a 345 Meg Hard drive to give up on my 3000/040 and decided it was
time to learn.

I have downloaded the NetBSD 1.1 system, and followed the INSTALL doc's to the
letter. Everything seemed to work enough to get me up and running right off. I
Extracted all the 1.1 parts with no problems, and even installed pine/pico ok.
All this with vary limited docs ;) Now what I need is docs :)) What books or
docs are best used with NetBSD?? I need to know how the system works, how to
install new users, mount my other 100 meg partition that I made for NetBSD (it
only got the /usr partition at config time as sd0d but I have 1 more it can use)

Anyway, I don't want to ask too many basic questions as I am a good self teacher
if I have docs or books. :)

The only other thing I would like to know is how to connect the NetBSD to my
ISP? I have a PPP/IP account that I use for AmiTCP, and would love to connect
the NetBSD system to it. Help?? (again, if you can just point me to more docs,
that would be great :))

Nick, a NetBSD newbie.
