I've been using BSD for 2 weeks now and would like to know anything from scratch. As this is the first time that I have even seen Unix I do not know any commands. Dos equivalent commands seem to me like the ones I would like to know. How to access my stiffy drive, view a certain file and what command to type in to shut me PC down. I get these wierd messages everytime I boot up again so obviously I am not doing something right. Basicly I only know the ls and pwd commands. So I guess all the basics would be helpful in very simple terms.
