You should install bash2 which is in there at /usr/ports/shells. Take a look at the FreeBSD site, daemonnews.org, and freebsddiary.org and onlamp.com they all have information that you should read up on. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of -Mark Hillis- (Netway Technical Support) Sent: Friday, December 05, 2003 2:40 PM To: FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Hello, I have FreeBSD 4.8 installed on my 400mhz amd with 256mb ram (this is probably useless info) I was wondering how I install packages like emacs? are they on the CD? can I choose them from the install menu? the reason I ask is because I didn't see it listed in the install options but maybe I over looked it... sorry this is like 20 questions, but also normally when I used freebsd at work I and would be typing a path and I could hit tab and it would finish the path for me or tell me what file names are close/similar but when I hit tab on my FreeBSD box it just tabs spaces... I figured maybe I was using the wrong shell... if so how do I change shells? is this the problem? the reason I figured it was the wrong type of shell... is because del/delete doesn't backspace either, it gives me weird characters like "^something " the delete/del problem might just be that is a rule my admin had set or something but I don't know so I'm not really concerned with that but if it helps to understand what I might be doing wrong then shout it out right? thanks in advance for any help/advice you can give -Mark Hillis- _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
