I would much rather use it then VI. > Use the ports! emacs is /usr/ports/editors. man 7 ports will tell you more about the ports collection, which is one of the very nice features about FreeBSD. If you have the ports collection installed, all you need to do is, as root, cd /usr/ports/editors/emacs make make install If you have the CDs, mount CD 3 as /cdrom and the make process will look there for the source. If you don't expect to wait a while for the source to be down loaded.l David To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
