In text +display boxes, the amount of text above the current point will be +displayed as a percentage in the lower right corner. Using the +Up/Down arrow keys will cause the object to scroll by line. The +PageUp and PageDown keys will scroll by entire screens. + +Selecting OK in a menu will confirm whatever action it's controlling. +Selecting Cancel will cancel the operation and generally return you to +the previous menu. Use TAB to move the cursor around and select the +buttons. + +Most screens offer a Help button - USE IT! It generally offers useful +context-specific hints on what to do and if you're at all unsure about +what to do at a given configuration menu, choose Help! + + +SPECIAL FEATURES: +================= + +It is possible to select a menu item by typing the first character of +its name, if unique. This will generally be an item number. + +The console driver contains a scroll-back buffer for reviewing things +that may have scrolled off the screen. To use scroll-back, press the +"Scroll Lock" key on your keyboard and use the arrow or Page Up/Page +Down keys to move through the saved text. To leave scroll-back mode, +press the Scroll Lock key again. This feature is most useful for +reading back through your boot messages (go ahead, try it now!) though +it's also useful when dealing with sub-shells or other "expert modes" +that don't use menus and tend to scroll their output off the top of +the screen. + +FreeBSD also supports multiple "virtual consoles" which you can use +in order to have several active sessions at once. Use ALT-F<n> to +switch between screens, where `F<n>' is the function key corresponding +to the screen you wish to see. By default, the system comes with 8 +virtual consoles enabled - you can enable more by editing the +/etc/ttys file and turning the "off" field to "on" in the relevant vty +entries (up to 12). |
