FreeBSD does not install bash by default. Adding it during install time is very easy though. If you're used to Linux, install bash and make it your shell, you'll find the environment more familiar. -- Bill Moran Potential Technology http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
