Hi,
I have been using IRIX and SUNOS/Solaris for a very long time
purely as a ordinary user, little/no experience as sysadmin etc...
After building my new PC (AMD DX4-133 16M 814M HD) I thought
FreeBSD would be ideal as an OS. I installed just the bin set
and was =very= impressed with the result. Just a few problems that
I hope you can help with.

$ cat test.c
#include <stdio.h>

int main(argc,argv)
int argc;
char **argv;
	{
	printf("hello, world\n");
	return(0);
	}
$ gcc -o test test.c
$ test
$

yep, it prints nothing...
Can anyone help? It seems as if stdout isn't being used.

b) how to change keyboard settings, the mappings seem a bit pear shaped
   for non-alphanumerics (dollar/pound/hash/pipe etc)

I would like to re-iterate that 2.2-RELEASE is very easy and straight-
forward for the novice to install (I am that novice!) so a big pat on
the back for all concerned with the development.

yours
Chris Lamb
