Installing "GNUstep" on NetBSD

I have installed GNUstep on NetBSD/i386 1.5.2.
I will not be responsible for any damage implicitly or explicitly caused by this information.
Use at your own risk.
Please submit any comments or suggestions to jnqt@fbe.freeserve.ne.jp.
For more information about installation, check out this "HOWTO" document.

Good Luck! :-)
