I don't recall hearing that call go out, but here's a few ideas... 1) tcsh (*thwap* no bash! tcsh dammit!) 2) ssh 3) cvsup if(X) { 4) xlock 5) xv 6) lesstif 7) ctwm (need them virtual desktops) 8) bgrot! (*cheer*) } 9) Linux compat libs Other high-prio stuff: - Mail client (elm, pine, mutt, [[e]x]mh...) - Compressers ([un]zip, bzip2...) Other things such as various libraries/toolkits, gmake, etc, also get installed as necessary for prereqs. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Unix Systems Administrator | fullermd@futuresouth.com Specializing in FreeBSD | http://www.over-yonder.net/ FutureSouth Communications | ISPHelp ISP Consulting "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is because I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
