I am fairly new to NetBSD, though am familar with Unix in general.
After recently havign installed NetBSD 1.1 I want to add extra
components, like the compiler, manual pages etc.

Could anyone outline the correct procedure for me?  The guides with
NetBSD seem to imply that this can be done in the same way as a new
installation.   However I find that the Set_tmp_dir, Load_fd and Extract
commands are not available. 

I have tried booting off the kernel floppy, but still find they are not
available.

Any help much appreciated!

Regards

Clive
