Looking to educate myself, I have installed FreeBSD as a dual-boot on
this Linux machine, and have overcome some basic problems. Now I have
a couple of questions.
How do I get FreeBSD to use a "better" console, like the one one gets
by specifying vga=791 in lilo.conf.? (stll using the lilo installed
through linux)
FreeBSD doesn't really have *all* the fancy VESA and framebuffer console
support Linux has. Recent FreeBSD releases have improved vastly since
the time we had only `vidcontrol 80x30', but I usually find that it is
easier and far far more stable to just install an X11 where I need good
graphical UI support :)
I discovered that `vidcontrol 80x30` is REALLY ugly. Better with the
ooriginal settings.
Again thanks for the info. BTW, is it supposed to be that slow,
How do I change the default shell from csh to bash?.
The same way it's done on all UNIX systems which have a chsh(1) utility:
(1) Install the new shell somewhere, i.e. /usr/local/bin/newshell
(2) Make sure it's listed in /etc/shells
(3) Run the `chsh' utility to change the default user shell.
If you mean you want to change the shell of the *root* user to bash,
then it's probably a good idea to read the FreeBSD FAQ:
http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/
against Linux on the same hardware?
