There are probably one or two people here who could do the work, but they're unlikely to have the card to test it on... If you're a good C programmer, and you fancy having something impressive to put on your CV, have a look at the tutorial on writing device drivers; it's at http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/ > My second question is how to make up arrow and down arrow to work with > history. That is when you press uparrow you get the previous command. There isn't any way to do this in the C shell, which is what the installation gives you. If you install the bash or pdksh packages, and do 'chsh -s' to change your login shell, this should work automatically (I presume it'll also work for tcsh, but I've never used that). > Finally, how can I make ^D to logout in non root directory.

Find the line in ~/.cshrc relating to setignoreeof and comment it out like so:- # set ignoreeof This is a csh/tcsh peculiarity - if you switch to bash or ksh, ^D will automatically log you out. -- James Raynard, Edinburgh, Scotland james@jraynard.demon.co.uk http://www.freebsd.org/~jraynard/
