Ok, great buttons one through three, except I have a one button mouse so I
guess I'm really asking what keys do I use?

And about the nfs thing, wuarchive.wustl.edu:/archive/systems/unix/NetBSD
is mounted in /imports/NetBSD as I'm writing this. It's neat to say the
least. My connection isn't great but it is slightly usable and more
efficient than ftp. I can untar the files right off the server to my
machine :)  ('tar -zxvpf /imports/NetBSD/.../sys.tar.gz' for example)
And configuration was simple just add this line to your /etc/fstab:
wuarchive.wustl.edu:/archive/systems/unix/NetBSD <mount_point> nfs
ro,soft,noauto 0 0

and give the command mount <mount_point>. That's it. Just unmount it when
you're done so you don't lag things like df :)
