Hi, FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE, no gui. In Linux, I can left-drag to select text in the console, then right-click to paste it to the command line. My FreeBSD Unleashed book says the mouse can be configured to copy and paste from the console in FreeBSD, but darned if I can figure out how to do it. I've used sysinstall to configure the mouse, I get a Windows-style mouse pointer, I can select text by dragging, but can't paste. Is there a magic word (Abra-ca-dabra!) one has to mumble to paste in the console? Thanks, Charles
