You will have to figure it out for yourself. (or read a good source) That being said, tcsh can be installed from the ports collection. If you have the directory '/usr/ports/shells/tcsh' just do the following. $ cd /usr/ports/shells/tcsh $ make $ make install If you don't have that directory then do this in order to get the directory. $ ftp ftp.freebsd.org ftp> cd /pub/FreeBSD/ports/current/shells ftp> get tsch.tar The server will then tar up the source for you to download. Unpack the tar file, then do the above. Go here for instructions. http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/ports.html Have fun, | Stop warning me about the latest virus. Learn more...
