As a new FreeBSD user I posted several questions on comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc that have gone unanswered, so I thought I would give you a try. 1) My FreeBSD box is up and running 24/7. My wife knows absolutely nothing about computers. I would like to set the F12 or Ctrl-Alt-Del key up to do a system "halt" so that when I'm at the office and we have a storm in our area, my wife could just press F12 or Crtl-Alt-Del and safely "halt" my system w/o file system damage. Can this be easily done? I tried editing the keyboard file w/o any luck. 2) I have an external, parallel port LS120 floppy drive. This is a 128MB floppy and NOT A ZIP DRIVE. Is there any support for this device? Under Linux I would load modules "paride/epat/pf" then I could mount /dev/pf0 and I could access the drive just as any drive or floppy. ( http://www.superdisk.com by Imation) 3) Is there any docu on how to get a "cut & paste" up and working in the console mode? I received a URL from someone that described how to do it for the 2.2.X kernel but that info does not seem to work unter the 3.4 kernel. I do get the mouse pointer on the console mode, I just can not do cut & paste. Any help or URL here would greatly be appreciated. --- Christopher W.
