I tend to agree. Although this specific problem has gone away (perhaps due 
to fsck) I still have some fiddling to do apparently. The arrow keys don't 
work like I expect in vim.

I thought of it and I still might. I did install some stuff later and I did 
write some scripts and made some tweaks. I guess I am reluctant to lose all 
that.

At this point I want to resist the temptation for a re-install because I 
have the debian CD handy and I would have to reinstall freebsd off the net. 
I want to give freebsd a full and fair try first.
