It was quite an experience as I've never used a Mac or FreeBSD before, so I had to learn about two new environments at the same time. Talk about the blind leading the blind :). (Many thanks to Peter Grehan's notes on the PPC install, couldn't have done it without them.) Anyway, I'm compiling a bunch of stuff on ports right now. I take it there are no binaries for Xorg? My question is: how do you scroll back the console buffer (sysconsole) with a Mac keyboard, since there isn't a Pause key. Many thanks, Nick
