Installation - VT4

2009-05-11 Thread Eitan Adler
When you install freeBSD via sysinstall you could switch to VT2 which
displays what files it is currently installing and you could switch to
VT4 which displays some kind of prompt. What exactly is that prompt? sh?
 What utilities does it have access to?  When would you want to use it?

ttyv4 is the holographic shell otherwise mentioned.  It only has access to
built-in commands (such as echo, cd, etc)

It's really limited and so far, haven't found a use for it yet.  I think it
was a new thing when sysinstall was out and was useful back then.  Since
then, we've kept it and just haven't done much to it.


If you find a use, share it.
