It seems to be a great operating system but a little daunting at times. I've got a couple of questions that I need a little help with. I've searched for the answers in the man pages and on google, but haven't been able to solve my problems. #1 I have some sort of termcap problem. My terminal in Xwindows doesn't have color (xterm) when I use mutt or vim, but rxvt does. In the console, muttrc colors don't work properly and when I'm in rxvt I don't have color in vim, but I have color with vim in the console. ??? I'm sure there's some easy solution to this but it's way beyond me. Also, my backspace keys don't work properly in vim. Yet they work properly otherwise. I am using icewm, vim 6.0, Roland Rosenfeld's muttrc, modified for my configuration. #2. I have sound, but cdrom wont play cd's. Again I'm sure it's a permission problem, but want to check with you guys on the right permission for it. thanks dale To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
