Although I know there are no official rules about what belongs into the 
guide and what not, the guide should IMHO only be about  the installation 
and the things that are part of the NetBSD system (src & xsrc). 

Yes, there are already sections of the guide that transgress this rule 
(for example sections of the "Using removable media" chapter), but this 
can be "corrected"  (moved to the "FAQs and HOWTOs").

As Xorg is still not in the xsrc tree, the documentation should - for the 
time being - be added to the X11 HOWTOS ("The X Window system")   


kind regards, Mark
