Can someone point me toward some instructions? What do you wanna know? It should display you a Login: prompt, so well, you can already use it? Alas, the documentation is hidden in /usr/src/usr.sbin/pcvt/Misc/. This is basically an artifact of importing it from an external standalone package, and i've never got round to find a good method of installing the docs somewhere into the regular tree. (Perhaps i should do so and put them under /usr/share/doc/pcvt/.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
