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 -Mark Hillis-=20
