Sure, so now you go into /usr/src/sys/arch/vax/config and you copy GENERIC 
to BIGVAX, then edit it to only have the things that you are using, or will 
be using, on this VAX (IPV6 can go, SCSI devices, etc) then type 'config 
BIGVAX' and when that finishes type
'cd ../compile/BIGVAX ; make depend ; make ' and then go to bed :-) About 4 
hours later, if everything has gone to plan, you can try booting your now 
custom kernel. It will run faster because it will be smaller.

If you try to compile PERL remember ieeefp.h doesn't exist for the VAX! :-)

Otherwise, browse the package tree, load a package or two like a web server 
and then have fun.
