obsd 4.0 i386 without X on an ibm thinkpad t30

a. How to map alt to meta? It's already find in ksh, but not in emacs.
b. My hard disk really has more then 10 thounds cylinders, but fdisk allows 
1024 at most...
c. emacs22 compiling encounter an error which says don't know how to make 
faces.elc

d. adduser in grp `wheel', but can't sudo, why?
e. To compile mplayer, do I have to get a gmake, can make work?
