I may be on the wrong list (NetBSD noob), sorry. Help?



Hi.  I've been poring over the NetBSD website all weekend, but I
appear to be missing something.  I've read the FAQ.  :-)  I likely
ought to read it again (I will).  Hope you can help.

Where's a NetBSD Dummies Guide online?  Usenet helped me learn of
/etc/myname and /etc/mygate to enable DHCP.  I've never seen
networking enabled that way (well, besides Sun with their
hostname.$blah).  Where is something that has that level of intro to
NetBSD specifics?  I'm mostly concerned with system level stuff, such
as backing off bpp on the X server, or enabling DHCP (got that).

What's the NetBSD equivalent of:

   dpkg-reconfigure $some_server

   aptitude update && aptitude upgrade && aptitude install $blah

I've NetBSD Sparc 3.1 Disk 1 installed so far.  What now?

  ----------------------

Is there a noob/users list I've missed?  This is all centered around a
Sparc U30 that appears to be extremely happy (thankyou) running
NetBSD, btw.  It's operator is a bit deficient in the local specifics
atm, however.

Thanks for pointers.
