Setting up BIND 8.1 - Need help..

I'm puzzled. I got the latest kit for BIND 8.1. I've never messed
with BIND before, other than as a user of it via net software.

I cannot find anything in the kit that helps me get it set up!
Maybe I'm missing it, but I think I've looked at everything in the
doc section. The main problem is the standard DNS and BIND from
O'Reilly covers the 4.x versions, and the 8.1 version no longer
uses named.boot, but rather named.conf. There are some man pages
for named.conf and it's parameters, but they mostly assume I know
what I want to do, and I don't.

I found a tutorial on setting up BIND, but it's for the 4.8 release
and covers named.boot in some detail but not named.conf.

Can anyone point me to a net doc, or even a doc that I've missed in my
downloaded kit, that will help?

Thanks!
