I am using the version that came on the Walnut Creek CDROM's. I was talking to the person that got me to try fbsd and he had me type something to set it up and change shells. It seems like it was already installed and all I had to do was chsh. I never had to look up anything and that doesn't leave you with memories in a week much less the four that have elapsed since I switched. It was in some wierd location like /usr/local/ksh or something. I can't look up anything because I am replacing a Pentium 200Mhz Windows NT machine with a 400Mhz P-II and had to use the monitor on the FreeBSD system to do it. It has problems and getting them resolved has priority. The trickle down will end up with a faster computer running fbsd. I use vi as my command line editor from FreeBSD and MSDOS to NT. We didn't have anything like Emacs on the Cray or HP's and I got used to it. Vi was considered a resource hog and emacs didn't stand a chance.
