You don't need to. You can look in manpages whenever you need, as I do.

For me, OpenBSD is perfectly reasonable and easy to use. Even as I

but what is your point? that people should just be able to guess at
commands and the system should do whatever the user is thinking it will
do?

If 'lame' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the

Hi,
Here comes a question again: what's the naming convention of the
device on OpenBSD?
I am still using the newly installed OpenBSD release 4.6.
It did take me some effort to find out the name of device for me to
use with fdisk and mount:
fdisk /dev/rwd0c
and
mount /dev/sd0i
The first one is

Hi Johan,
Thank you for the info. They are quite helpful. It seems like I have
to read quite some documents on the same things I have been used to

It isn't. `sd0' is actually a shortcut for `/dev/rsd0c'; there is no
/dev/sd0 at all. (If you want to know more about this particular name
