my thanks to david gatwood and bob nestor for their help with my performa
405 kernel problem. it has been fixed with the HWDIRECT kernel.
i have a few easy (i think) basic questions. i've installed the games
binary using the installer utility, and there are indeed files in the
/usr/games directory, but when i type the name of one, let's say hangman
for instance, i get a 'command not found' error. when i tpye ll to list
the directory, i find many of the files have a size 2. the only directory
in the /usr/games directory is called /hide. in this directory several of
the same game names exist, but the files tend to be of a more realistic
size. however, when i type the game's name, i still get a command not
found error. is it correct to assume that the command used to run a
program in bsd is simply the program's name?
i have gotten several other programs to work, like ex and view. what am i
doing wrong?
also, is there a way to determine the space left on the bsd drive? is pico
(text editor) available for bsd?
last question: how does one exit from bsd? when i type 'exit', it simply
brings my back to the login prompt. can i exit back into mac os at this
point? how?
thanks
