Hello Ajay,
2. May I suggest that you get the source code for vim and compile it?
It's available at the wonderful Vi lovers homepage at ->
http://thomer.com/vi/vi.html
3. You could, for instance, create a small file containing the startx
command, make sure that file is executable by doing chmod ugo+x
<filename> and place that file in /usr/local/etc/rc.d.
That is a very bad advise imo. rc.d scripts are started by root and unless
the daemons started drop privileges, you will be running X as root, which
is not something you want to persue. Additionally; there are far better
alternatives then using these kind of solutions.
Yes, you are correct. I am so used to being root that I forgot the
security aspect. I hereby retract my answer to this question.
That said; Thanks for the willingness to help someone out! It is really
appriciated and shows the power of the FreeBSD Community!
No offence taken, I am glad you pointed out my mistake.
Cheers,
Remko
5. The sources are available as a package. Just install them using csup
or any other method you prefer.
Good luck!
