In some ways yes, in other ways no. The X servers do a better job of abstracting away some hardware features than termcap. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Bring up all the file systems manually, and you should be set to edit any file with TERM=cons25. This should be something like: 1. Start in single-user mode. When you enter the root shell of the single user mode, there's only one filesystem (the root filesystem) and this one is mounted read-only. 2. If your system clock is set to local time (and not UTC), run adjkerntz. # adjkerntz -i 3. Do minimal sanity checks for all file systems: # fsck -p 4. Remount the root file system as read-write: # mount -u / 5. Mount all the rest, and then set your TERM to cons25 (TERM should be set IIRC only after termcap is available): # mount -va # TERM=cons25 ; export TERM 6. Edit your /etc/rc.local with any editor you prefer. 7. Exit the single user shell and let the system go on booting in multi-user mode, as usual. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
i did it again
i putted mysqlsafe in my rc.local and found out ctrl + c doesnt work :) In single user mode i wanted to edit the file but joe crashed and vi was very strange. it was like it only had one line to display the file and the arrow keys where acting strange ? Any ideas how i can fix this ? I read somthing with missing /etc/termcap ? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
