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?=20

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
