Dear friends:
Finally, I've succeeded on the installation of FreeBSD (2.0.5-R) few
days ago, with the help of some of you. Now, I've several elementar
questions:
1. There is any administration tool for FreeBSD?
2. I've tried to use KCON command to chenge the type of keyboard.
Because my keyboard has a portuguese layout, I've used the
following syntax for KCON:
kcon -m pt
... but the system returned the following error message:
"kcon: ioctl KBDSCKEY failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device"
3. When I finnished the installation of FreeBSD, I've gone to the
Configure option of the program that is used to load the system,
and I've defined the type of screen saver and the idle time after
which the system starts the execution of the screen saver program.
- How could I change the type of screen saver?
- How could I redefine the idle time value?
Thanks in advance by any help.
