a. How to map Alt to Meta?
In ksh, Alt really works as meta, but in emcas it doesn't (esc as meta).
No idea; presumably, the right keymap would allow you to do that. See
kdb(8), noting that there is also a kbd(4), and /etc/rc or /etc/kbtype
to get this to work as expected.
b. When compile emacs22, it encounters an error, what say:
... don't know how to make faces.elc\n Error code 2
Why not just use packages? You probably did something wrong (no idea
what, without details), but debugging it most likely takes longer than
installing a package.
c. adduser within group wheel, but cannot 'sudo', what's the problem?
See /etc/sudoers.
d. Do I have to install gmake to make mplayer?
No, pkg_add is in base. Use packages, again.
If you do insist on using ports, yes, you'll have to install gmake;
there is a line 'USE_GMAKE=Yes' in the port.
e. My hard disk has ten thounds more cylinders, but when install, the
maximum allowed is 1024, why?
No idea, especially without a dmesg, but usually fiddling around with
the 'g' command in disklabel can get that particular tool to see what
you want it to.
