Hello Ajay, 2. May I suggest that you get the source code for vim and compile it? It's available at the wonderful Vi lovers homepage at -> http://thomer.com/vi/vi.html 3. You could, for instance, create a small file containing the startx command, make sure that file is executable by doing chmod ugo+x <filename> and place that file in /usr/local/etc/rc.d. 5. The sources are available as a package. Just install them using csup or any other method you prefer.
