 The OpenBSD installation is basically finished. It'll ask for a few other questions (do you want to start sshd by default etc), and then, you may reboot the computer (remove the installation CD from the reader).
+====== Configuration ======
+===== Networking =====
+  * to use dhcp for a given interface: echo dhcp > /etc/hostname.<interface> (e.g /etc/hostname.rl0)
+  *  to have the DHCP server always provide the same IP address: this configuration concerns the DHCP server. My current ISP is Free . The freebox can be configured to always return a given IP address for a given MAC address. The freebox needs to be rebooted. To get one's MAC address: ifconfig prints it.
+  * to restart the network: sh -x /etc/netstart
+===== User management =====
+ * use: useradd, usermod etc or directly write to /etc/passwd and /etc/group
+ * you need to be in the wheel group if you intend to 'su root' from your own user account
+===== Package management =====
+==== Pkg_add ====
+You need to be root
+<code>
+    export  PKG_PATH=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.0/packages/i386
+    pkg_add <packagename> (e.g pkg_add emacs-21.4p1-no_x11.tgz)
+</code>
+    This downloads and installs the package from FTP to your host
+<code>
+    emacs-21.4p1-no_x11: complete
+</code>
+==== Interesting packages ====
+emacs-21.4p1-no_x11
