(xdm,kdm..etc) with vi. Something like "vi /etc/ttys","i" will let you change the contents,after that has been done,"ESC"+":"+"wq!" will actually write the file to HD and exits vi.The rest is a matter of taste and further config with cvsup +portupgrade and or other apps. have fun > > _______________________________________________ > 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"
