Does any of you could guide me to remove (uninstall) several softwares such as games,mail, x-window ? (it is not as simple as just by rm - rf from the /usr/games isn't it?)

Thanks a lot guys..
I do not use NetBSD but I do not think it is that simple to remove things you are talking about.

The easiest way is not to have them on the first place i.e. to chose minimal installation during your original installation. NetBSD base does NOT include X and most of the stuff you want to get a rid from.
There is also plenty of documents scattered all over the net how you can trim down further even NetBSD minimal installation to fit something of order 10MB.
