Well, now that I have all the basic functionality I need, I want to 
spice it up a little.

I'd like to remove xmacppc and install xfree.

Using a Powerbook G3 Series 266mhz (Wallstreet) 512mb ram.

I never compiled the NetBSD kernel before, but it looks like the docs 
are pretty clear.
I'd like to do a couple things in the config.

1.  I'd like to change the default (boot messages, initial login, etc) 
to be a dark blue background with light yellow text.  I did this in 
Linux, but it took someone who really knew the guts of the kernel 
config files to tell me what to change (just a few lines).

2. I need to build the kernel with 'options insecure'.  That sounds 
scary (in terms of security).  Is there reason to be concerned on a 
small home network, where the NetBSD machine connects via pppoe, and 
will have little of value on it?

3.  Are there any 'gotchas' that I should anticipate (keeping in mind 
that this is my first time compiling the NetBSD kernel)?

4.  Anyone have a functional xf86 config for the Wallstreet G3 Series 
266?  Anyone care to share or point me to docs?

Thanks for all the help!

Jeff

PS  After I get XF86 working, I'll probably just install 'screen' and 
do everything from the command line anyway.  But I like try this stuff, 
just to learn more about how things work and what the machine/os are 
capable of.  So this is more of a learning process for a novice, rather 
than anything mission-critical.  And I _am_ very grateful for 
everyone's input.
