Six months ago I started from scratch writing a book about NetBSD. It is a around 140 pages. The goal is not to be too technical or overly in-depth, but useful for someone to quickly get started with NetBSD. 200 pages max is probably my goal length. Anyways, I haven't had chance to work on it much and now I am having problems documenting both 4.0 and upcoming 5.0 installer. I think I will just make the book open source but haven't started a project for that yet. The PDF of the book just up to the installation chapter and the LaTeX source for that chapter are here: http://reedmedia.net/~reed/tmp-netbsd-book-09x828c9v5br/ You will see that I have many TODO listed through out this chapter. I think the installation chapter is becoming too indepth -- but I want to at least make it so if someone has questions that they are answered in the book. Maybe I am trying to cover sysinst too much. I have many, many screenshots from different platforms and 4.0 and some -current -- but the book doesn't included them all. I am thinking that 25+ screenshots showing every possible screen is too much. Any comments, advice, answers, and/or diffs would be appreciated. I haven't really looked at the NetBSD Guide in probably over five years so I don't know how it compares. If you want to see rest of book, let me know. (I have a bunch of cleanup to do...)
