In regards to your RDBMS question about MySQL : therr are many RDBMS that can be used with FreeBSD this inlcludes: - MySQL -MSQL (mini SQL) - Postgresql You can install either one of these by: - Launch a web browser and type in www.freebsd.org/ports/ - Now click on the "entire ports hierarchy" hyperlink - This file you downloaded is called ports.tar.gz - now extract the file with the following command as root zcat ports.tar.gz | tar xvf - -C /usr/ - To install the ports you have to have a dial up connection, cable modem, dsl, or your BSD machine is going through some proxy in the company - Now, type cd /usr/ports/database/postgresql7 -then type "make install" On Sat, 13 Jan 2001, Jonathon McKitrick wrote: > I realize this is a shot in the dark, but I was wondering if there are any > decent word processors out there (not programmer's editors) that work in > just text mode.
