Re: i need a file manager!
Hi, Do you also know a way to use tab complition (like the tab function in a normal freebsd shell) in mc at the # comandline ?

If you are talking about having a graphical style look at your file system like MC ( midnight commander) in linux then maybe this is it. I read about it it here: http://www.unixguide.net/freebsd/fbsd_installguide/index.php and it is called ytree. I hope I wasn't imagining things. I've been reading an awful lot lately. Not really. I'm most often working in 120-column xterms running screen, so anything that can work through a console is better for me. That's a nice page though. Lots of useful stuff.

Some keyboards have special keys labeled Meta, but if yours doesn't you can just hit Escape for ``M-''. Thus, ``M-!'' means hit Escape once and then `!'. I also believe that mc has a nice manual, accessible by hitting F1. You have been posting many questions that have their answers in there.
