-Having trouble using fetch through a firewall? Try setting the environment
-variable FTP_PASSIVE_MODE to yes, and see fetch(3) for more details.
-%
-By pressing "Scroll Lock" you can use the arrow keys to scroll backward
-through the console output. Press "Scroll Lock" again to turn it off.
-%
-Want colour in your directory listings? Use "ls -G". "ls -F" is also useful,
-and they can be combined as "ls -FG".

-If you need to ask a question on the FreeBSD-questions mailing list then
-
- http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/\
- freebsd-questions/index.html
-
-contains lots of useful advice to help you get the best results.
-%
-If you'd like to keep track of applications in the FreeBSD ports tree, take a
-look at FreshPorts;
-
- http://www.freshports.org/
-%
-To search for files that match a particular name, use find(1); for example
-
- find / -name "*GENERIC*" -ls
-
-will search '/', and all subdirectories, for files with 'GENERIC' in the name.
- -- Stephen Hilton <nospam at hiltonbsd.com>
-%
-In tcsh, you can `set autolist' to have the shell automatically show
-all the possible matches when doing filename/directory expansion.
-%
-You can `set autologout = 30' to have tcsh log you off automatically
-if you leave the shell idle for more than 30 minutes.
-%
-If you `set filec' (file completion) in tcsh and write a part of the
-filename, pressing TAB will show you the available choices when there
-is more than one, or complete the filename if there's only one match.
-%
-You can press up-arrow or down-arrow to walk through a list of
-previous commands in tcsh.
-%
-You can disable tcsh's terminal beep if you `set nobeep'.
-%
-If you `set watch = (0 any any)' in tcsh, you will be notified when
-someone logs in or out of your system.

-Nice tcsh prompt: set prompt = '%n@%m:%/%# '
-%
-Nice tcsh prompt: set prompt = '[%B%m%b] %B%~%b%# '

-Simple tcsh prompt: set prompt = '%# '
-%
-If you want df(1) and other commands to display disk sizes in
-kilobytes instead of 512-byte blocks, set BLOCKSIZE in your
-environment to 'K'. You can also use 'M' for Megabytes or 'G' for
-Gigabytes. If you want df(1) to automatically select the best size
-then use 'df -h'.
-%
-To change an environment variable in tcsh you use: setenv NAME "value"
-where NAME is the name of the variable and "value" its new value.
-%
-To change an environment variable in /bin/sh use:
-
- $ VARIABLE="value"
- $ export VARIABLE
-%
-You can use /etc/make.conf to control the options used to compile software
-on this system. Example entries are in
-/usr/share/examples/etc/defaults/make.conf.
-%
-To do a fast search for a file, try
-
- locate filename
-
-locate uses a database that is updated every Saturday (assuming your computer
-is running FreeBSD at the time) to quickly find files based on name only.
-%
-In order to search for a string in some files, use 'grep' like this:
-
- grep "string" filename1 [filename2 filename3 ...]
-
-This will print out the lines in the files that contain the string. grep can
-also do a lot more advanced searches - type 'man grep' for details.
-%
-You can use the 'fetch' command to retrieve files over ftp or http.
-
- fetch http://www.freebsd.org/index.html
-
-will download the front page of the FreeBSD web site.
-%
-In order to make fetch (the FreeBSD downloading tool) ask for
-username/password when it encounters a password-protected web page, you can set
-the environment variable HTTP_AUTH to 'basic:*'.
-%
-You can permanently set environment variables for your shell by putting them
-in a startup file for the shell. The name of the startup file varies
-depending on the shell - csh and tcsh uses .login, bash, sh, ksh and zsh use
-.profile. When using bash, sh, ksh or zsh, don't forget to export the
-variable.
-%
-If you are running xterm, the default TERM variable will be 'xterm'. If you
-set this environment variable to 'xterm-color' instead, a lot of programs will
-use colors. You can do this by
-
- TERM=xterm-color; export TERM
-
-in Bourne-derived shells, and
-
- setenv TERM xterm-color
-
-in csh-derived shells.
-%
-If you do not want to get beeps in X11 (X Windows), you can turn them off with
-
- xset b off
-%
-You can look through a file in a nice text-based interface by typing
-
- less filename
-%
-The default editor in FreeBSD is vi, which is efficient to use when you have
-learned it, but somewhat user-unfriendly. To use ee (an easier but less
-powerful editor) instead, set the environment variable EDITOR to /usr/bin/ee
-%
-If you accidentally end up inside vi, you can quit it by pressing Escape, colon
-(:), q (q), bang (!) and pressing return.
-%
-You can use aliases to decrease the amount of typing you need to do to get
-commands you commonly use. Examples of fairly popular aliases include (in
-Bourne shell style, as in /bin/sh, bash, ksh, and zsh):
-
- alias lf="ls -FA"
- alias ll="ls -lA"
- alias su="su -m"
-
-In csh or tcsh, these would be
-
- alias lf ls -FA
- alias ll ls -lA
- alias su su -m
-
-To remove an alias, you can usually use 'unalias aliasname'. To list all
-aliases, you can usually type just 'alias'.
-%
-In order to support national characters for European languages in tools like
-less without creating other nationalisation aspects, set the environment
-variable LC_ALL to 'en_US.ISO8859-1'.
-%
-You can search for documentation on a keyword by typing
-
- apropos keyword
-%
-Man pages are divided into section depending on topic. There are 9 different
-sections numbered from 1 (General Commands) to 9 (Kernel Developer's Manual).
-You can get an introduction to each topic by typing
-
- man <number> intro
-
-In other words, to get the intro to general commands, type
-
- man 1 intro
-%
-FreeBSD is started up by the program 'init'. The first thing init does when
-starting multiuser mode (ie, starting the computer up for normal use) is to
-run the shell script /etc/rc. By reading /etc/rc, you can learn a lot about
-how the system is put together, which again will make you more confident about
-what happens when you do something with it.
-%
-If you want to play CDs with FreeBSD, a utility for this is already included.
-Type 'cdcontrol' then 'help' to learn more. (You may need to set the CDROM
-environment variable in order to make cdcontrol want to start.)
-%
-If you have a CD-ROM drive in your machine, you can make the CD-ROM that is
-presently inserted available by typing 'mount /cdrom' as root. The CD-ROM
-will be available under /cdrom/. Remember to do 'umount /cdrom' before
-removing the CD-ROM (it will usually not be possible to remove the CD-ROM
-without doing this.)
-
-Note: This tip may not work in all configurations.
-%
-You can install extra packages for FreeBSD by using the ports system.
-If you have installed it, you can download, compile, and install software by
-just typing
-
- # cd /usr/ports/<category>/<portname>
- # make install && make clean
-
-as root. The ports infrastructure will download the software, change it so
-it works on FreeBSD, compile it, install it, register the installation so it
-will be possible to automatically uninstall it, and clean out the temporary
-working space it used. You can remove an installed port you decide you do not
-want after all by typing
-
- # cd /usr/ports/<category>/<portname>
- # make deinstall
-
-as root.
-%
-Nice bash prompt: PS1='(\[$(tput md)\]\t <\w>\[$(tput me)\]) $(echo $?) \$ '

-To see the output from when your computer started, run dmesg(8). If it has
-been replaced with other messages, look at /var/run/dmesg.boot.
- -- Francisco Reyes <lists at natserv.com>
-%
-You can use "whereis" to locate standard binary, manual page and source
-directories for the specified programs. This can be particularly handy
-when you are trying to find where in the ports tree an application is.
-
-Try "whereis netscape" and "whereis whereis".

-automatically install the packages the package you download is dependent on
-(ie, the packages it needs in order to work.)
-%
-You can get a good standard workstation install by using the
-instant-workstation port/package. If you have ports installed, you can
-install it by doing
-
- # cd /usr/ports/misc/instant-workstation
- # make install && make clean
-
-as root. This will install a collection of packages that is convenient to
-have on a workstation.
-%

-instant-server port/package. If you have ports installed, you can
-install it by doing
-
- # cd /usr/ports/misc/instant-server

-sh (the default Bourne shell in FreeBSD) supports command-line editing. Just
-``set -o emacs'' or ``set -o vi'' to enable it.

-When you've made modifications to a file in vi(1) and then find that
-you can't write it, type ``<ESC>!rm -f %'' then ``:w!'' to force the
-write
-
-This won't work if you don't have write permissions to the directory
-and probably won't be suitable if you're editing through a symbolic link.

-If you want to quickly check for duplicate package/port installations,
-try the following pkg_info command.
-
- pkg_info | sort | sed -e 's/-[0-9].*$//' | \

-%
-Want to use sed(1) to edit a file in place? Well, to replace every 'e' with
-an 'o', in a file named 'foo', you can do:
-
- sed -i.bak s/e/o/g foo
-
-And you'll get a backup of the original in a file named 'foo.bak', but if you
-want no backup:
-
- sed -i '' s/e/o/g foo
-%
-To obtain a neat PostScript rendering of a manual page, use ``-t'' switch
-of the man(1) utility: ``man -t <topic>''. For example:
-
- man -t grep > grep.ps # Save the PostScript version to a file
-or
- man -t printf | lp # Send the PostScript directly to printer
