To make a selection in X, you click button 1 (usually the left button) and
drag to cover the selection.  Alternately, you can click the start of a
selection with button 1 and the end with button 3 (usually the right
button).  Making a selection essentially copies the selected text to the X
clipboard.  To paste the selection, click button 2 (just about always the
middle button).  Of course, if you don't have buttons, there is usually
some form of keyboard emulation available.

As for info on X, the best resources that are readily available are the
man pages.  Otherwise, you'd have to go buy a book.  I don't really know
of any other online resources, but you can always dig around on the 'net.

I don't think that netbsd.org handles afs (I seriously doubt that the site
mentioned before does nfs exporting, although I could always be wrong).
As for other sites, I know that there are several sites that do AFS, but I
don't know how many of them carry the NetBSD distribution.  Personally,
I'd rather just use FTP.  I figure it's probably quite a bit faster (and
quite a bit easier to configure).

I hope this helps some.

Later.
