+2. Quick install
+
+	First, let's describe a quick install. The other sections of
+	this document go into the installation procedure in more
+	detail, but you may find that you do not need this. If you
+	want detailed instructions, skip to section 3. This section
+	describes a basic installation, using a CD-ROM install as
+	an example.
+
+2.1 What you need.
+
+	* The distribution sets (in this example, they are on CD).
+	* One 1.44M 3.5" floppy.
+	* A PC with a 386 or newer processor, a CD-ROM drive
+	  (SCSI or ATAPI), a harddisk and a minimum of 4Mb of
+	  memory installed.
+	* The harddisk should have at least 70 + N megabytes of
+	  space free, where N is the number of megabytes of
+	  main memory in your system. If you wish to install
+	  the X window system as well, you will need at least
+	  60Mb more.
+
+2.2 Creating a bootfloppy.
+
+	* You can create the floppy needed for installation
+	  under DOS or Windows. Supposing your 1.44M floppy
+	  drive is drive A:, and your CD is drive E: do the
+	  following from an MS-DOS command prompt:
+
+	  e:
+	  cd \NetBSD-_VER\installation\misc

+2.3 The installation
+
+	* Insert the bootfloppy you just created. Restart the
+	  PC. You will be presented with a menu.
+	* If you wish, you can configure some network settings
+	  immediately by choosing the "utilities" menu and
+	  then "configure network". This isn't needed, but
+	  more convenient to do now. Go back to the main menu.
+	* Choose "install"
+	* You will be guided through some steps regarding the
+	  setup of your harddisk, and parts to install. When
+	  in doubt, refer to the rest of this document for
+	  details.
+	* After your disk has been prepared, choose CD-ROM
+	  as the medium. The default values for the path
+	  and device should be ok.
+	* After all the files have been unpacked, go back to
+	  the main menu and select "reboot", after you
+	  have removed the bootfloppy from the drive.
+	* NetBSD will now boot. You should log in as root,
+	  and set a password for that account. You are also
+	  advised to edit the file "/etc/rc.conf" to match
+	  your system needs.
+	* Your installation is now complete.
+	* For configuring the X window system, if installed,
+	  see the files in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc. Further
+	  information can be found on http://www.xfree86.org/

-	to configure the system to suit your needs. To do this,
-	you might want to first make all local filesystems accessible
-	and set the terminal type, so that, for example, vi will work
-	properly. The following commands will do this:
-
-		mount -a
-		TERM=pc3 ; export TERM
-
-	You should at least do the following in /etc/rc.conf:
-
-		* Change rc_configured=NO to rc_configured=YES
-		* Set the hostname in the 'hostname' line, e.g.
-		  hostname="somename"
-
-	You are advised to take a look at the other items in the
-	/etc/rc.conf file, and change them if you wish. After you
-	have made and saved the changes, reboot the machine again.
 
 	After reboot, you can log in "root" at the login prompt.  There
 	is no initial password, but if you're using the machine in a
 	networked environment, you should create yourself an account
 	and protect it and the "root" account with good passwords.

 	Some other files in the NetBSD _VER distribution might need to be
 	tailored for your site.  In particular, the /etc/sendmail.cf file will
 	almost definitely need to be adjusted, and other files in /etc will
 	probably need to be modified, as well.
 
-	Some leftover files from the installation may be on your hard disk,

 	If you are unfamiliar with UN*X-like system administration, it's
 	recommended that you buy a book that discusses it.

+	If you have installed the X window system, look at the files in
+	/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc for information. You will need to set up
+	a configuration file. An example of such a file is
+	/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config.eg. See http://www.xfree86.org/
