i just installed bsd 2.1.5 (walnut creek cdrom) this afternoon. i can't say
that i have much of a clue about unix, having tooled around with linux a
little a while back.
i have a few questions: 1. booteasy works fine, but my bios partition (yeah, i
have a compaq...) seems to be listed...at least that's what i think the ???
option is. how can i edit/change this?
2. is the default shell csh? i miss the colors of bash. (yeah, pretty lame...)
3. are the any faqs/web pages out there that explain how to get a dial-up ppp
(isp) connection up and running?
any help would be appreciated! thanks.
