Personally I like to check if Xorg works before starting them automatically after booting.

Thanks for your reply. It's great to have such a forum where it helps to learn things. I did do the startx and some windows came up, but I really didn't know what to do with them. What do you mean test if Xorg works? I thought the startx was kind of doing that. How else would I test it better? I'd like to do that. So, what to add to .xinitrc? Is that in the NetBSD guide? I think I can handle the copying you mention. (Maybe! LOL I couldn't eve figure out how to list my current directory. Looks like dir, cd, and such don't work like they do in Linux. So I have some reading to do.
