Re: 1st experience - 1st post - 1st problems ;-)



Wow, thank you for your replies. They solve my problems ;-)

I am having difficulties understanding the ports concept;

I read the documentation and looked upon http://www.openbsd.org/ports.html.

However I see ports there only for 3.2 version, and I am running 3.4.

Can I use them?

Thank you again.

I'm sorry. I may not have been very clear in my previous post. If you make vi your command-line editor by doing set -o vi-esccomplete in your .profile or .kshrc file, you can In ksh you can do ESC k which will allow you to scroll through history upwards.


You can also search through history by doing ESC /<search_string>. And, you'll be able to use ESC ESC for command completion.

You could also use bash on OpenBSD.  I think it's a port on the
CD-ROM, but I'm not sure.  If not, you can always download it.

I hope this helps,
