I am a Computer Information Systems major and I have chosen to present FreeBSD to my class as a final project. I downloaded version 6.0 from the freeBSD Site. I made a bootable CD-ROM from the ISO image disc one. The installation seemed to have went ok, but when I go to put a password in for the root user nothing happens. When I type letters the insertion point (cursor) just stays in the same place as if no letters are being typed. When I turn it on now it seems to boot up fine. After I type in my login name and password I am unsure of how to install or run an application, which I am required to do for the project. I have tried finding a basic tutorial on the internet, but have been unable to do so.
