It depends on what and to what you are adding. As for these things,
it doesn't matter much. I suggest you read some beginner's books on
UNIX in general.

Are you using an SE/30? If so, this is a known problem with the grf
(which stands for GRaFics) driver. The latest GENERIC*-23 kernels
from ftp://ftp.NetBSD.ORG/pub/NetBSD/arch/mac68k/kernels may help with
this situation. If they don't, get and install the "colorkit" X
server which works around the grf driver bug from
ftp://ftp.macbsd.com/pub/NetBSD/X/colorkit/ directory.
