The proper version number is FreeBSD 2.1.5-RELEASE. You should consider returning this CD and picking up 2.1.6 after it comes out. > 1. EMACS 19.31 will not "start".

If you're missing it for some reason you can grab mine: ftp://gdi.uoregon.edu/pub/libgcc.so.261.0.gz > 2.

What's > up? I'm not familiar with Bash, but since it's based on sh I would say it's picking up the .profile in /root and ignoring your .bashrc. The bash man page should show which file(s) it wants. I would HIGHLY recommend changing root back to sh; you won't be able to log in if your /usr partition disappears, while a static version of sh is in /bin. You should use su instead of logging in as root.
