I just ftp-ed the latest netkit.tgz file from sunsite...all 3.1
megabytes of it.

All it contains are a whole stack of subdirectories containing the
source for various net related programs, and one cryptic little file
called "BSD-README" which doesn't even accurately relate to the contents
of the .tgz archive.

Has anyone installed this package?  Am I missing something (like a
proper readme on how to install and a top-level makefile), or do
I have to spend hours trying to figure everything out without any
documentation??

I'm running Linux 1.1.17 (started out as SLS 1.03 back in Sep last year,
but my system has been heavily modifed and hacked with since then),
and gcc 2.5.8 with libc 4.5.26.  Any clues or help would be gratefully
appreciated.

My main reason for getting this package was to install all new copies
of the networking binaries, compiled with the latest stuff to replace
the crappy SLS binaries which are lurking in my /etc directory.  I'd
also like to move the damn things out of /etc and into somewhere more
appropriate (perhaps /etc/inet or /sbin/net) to make future upgrades
easier and less prone to disastrous mistakes.
