What is the man command that explains man commands, i.e. what (1), ** (2), etc. are in the manual? I saw it somewhere, now i can't find it. try 'man man' for help here ** 2. What does the '~' after a filename mean? Is this a deleted file ** that can be undeleted? I tried man file, filename, ~, undelete, and ** whiteout. No dice. These are backups of files. If you want to retore it just copy it back to whatever it was. You can't undelete anything. Once it's been rm'd it's gone permanently. ** 3. SOmetimes when i boot up my laptop, the mouse doesn't work. dmesg ** says /dev/psm0 not configured. Rebooting works, but takes too ** long. GOing to single user mode then back to multi doesn't do it. Is ** there a simple way to configure psm0 once i am up and running? Is ** this a bug? Try turning Plug-n-pray off and doing a 'Reset PNP memory'/'Reset PNP configuration' in the BIOS. If it's a Compaq, throw it out of the Window. That normally solves lots of problems. ** -=> jm <=- ** ** If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around, does anybody ** care? I certainly don't :-) Hope this helps. Chris Smith Raytheon Systems Limited To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
