Some help please folks!

Question 1:

I have a new Cube, and run it standalone at home.  I would like it to
run as fast as possible, or at the least, not to be doing anything
that it doesn't need, like any net stuff.  Also, I don't have a
printer as of yet, so don't need anything relating to that.  So does
anybody know what I can exclude from the boot process so that I don't
have unneccessary things running?

Question 2:

Has anybody used xyzmodem with the NeXT?  Basically, I'd like to know
how you go about this.  Currently I'm loginning into my account via
kermit.  Any info on how one uses these programs to download stuff?

Thanks!
