This is what the FAQ says.....

"'Bleeding edge' -current source, for the adventurous only!
The latest kernel sources are available from ftp.NetBSD.org or one of 
the mirrors in the directory /pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/src/sys/.
To compile a kernel you should download the following from 
/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/tar_files/src: 
config.tar.gz (Source for the 'config(8)' program) 
sys.tar.gz (Complete kernel source for all architectures) 
You should first build and install the 'config' program, in case it 
has changed since the version you are running. Since -current is on 
the active edge of NetBSD development, there can be problems compiling 
a -current kernel. You are recommended to use source from an Official 
Release until you are familiar with the configuration process."



But, it doesn't explain what to do with config.tar.gz and 
syssrc.tar.gz when you've got them.  I've put them on to a CD.  Makes 
a great beer mat or tea mug mat but can I do anything else with it or 
the contents ?  No.

So, some help to explain what the FAQ doesn't would be useful.
In that way I could complete my task of building a new kernel.
