Configure it under 'Input devices' in visual userconfig. You'll get visual userconfig by typing '-c' at the Boot: prompt, and then typing 'visual'. > I have a lot of questions to ask that I need help, but I feel that I may depend > on you.

The right thing to do with questions at this level is to mail them to questions@freebsd.org. > The complete FreeBSD book does not have step on step installation and it contains > many topics.

The example you gave me would work under /bin/sh, /usr/local/bin/zsh, or /usr/local/bin/bash. If you want a good interactive shell, I'd recommend zsh - install it from the ports. It will also accept scripting in the syntax you gave. > Do you know which book has step on step or tutorial? Any local book store does > not have FreeBSD, but they have Linux.
