Like Jeremy said, we use "real" csh. Install tcsh or bash or whatever
you prefer.

ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/iso/

Then follow the appropriate links to what OS you are using. The iso is
i386pkg.iso.

Best to just use pkgsrc though, most  of the time.

The correct question is if X supports Nvidia. Probably. I've used
older Nvidia cards with no problems.

Ummm... I don't know what you're trying to accomplish. We have a linux
emulation layer you should probably figure out how to use before you
try hacking stuff together.

Ummm.... What for? That's way to general to answer.

Use NetBSD for a while, read the excellent guide, and enjoy it. You'll
probably have to change your thinking a little. Don't try to make it
work like Linux or FreeBSD, just figure out the NetBSD way and see if
that's OK. Most of time, it is.
