It sounds like you're new to unix commands as well as new to FreeBSD. Take a look at http://www.freebsd.org/newbies.html where you'll see pointers to documentation, split up into the different skill areas. In particular, follow the link you'll see there to the tutorial "for people new to both FreeBSD and Unix" and work through it. That tutorial should help you a lot. It's hard to advise you what to do or what what to read, without knowing a bit more about what you can do already and how your system is set up. What's your background? Have you used any commandline operating system before, for example DOS? Any unix experience at all? Did you install the X Window System (the graphical interface for FreeBSD) or not? Have you read the FreeBSD Handbook at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/ and if so did you understand the parts of it that you needed? -- Regards, -*Sue*- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
