Ah, sysinst. I do not use it. This explains the enabling of programs in the configuration. Apologies I should have guessed that's where these settings were coming from. I usually installboot and disklabel manually, download and extract sets manually, use makefs or mdsetimage and vnconfig to create/edit images.

Firefox is in pkgsrc so I don't see it couldn't be used for general web consumption. I think the only blocker might be the stuff requiring DRMs like streaming video services but since netbsd now supports VMs you could still run a linux vm for that.

I wonder if that memory usage is with X running. If yes, then Im very impressed. 32MB with X is very decent result.

It's even less, as you can see 18 of those 32MB are cached stuff, but this is without X.
