Hi, I recently noticed that the FreeBSD /etc/termcap file is a symblinc link to /usr/share/misc/termcap. Is there any reason for this ? The problem is that when you boot into single user mode with boot -s, your /usr partition is not mounted, so tcsh won't found the termcap file, and a lot of applications aren't usable (vi is one of them). Shouldn't we make /etc/termcap the real file and /usr/share/misc/termcap a symbolic link if there are some applications that expect this one to exist ?
