FreeBSD does not distribute a compiled binary package for screen, but you are welcome to compile your own. If you have the ports system installed (as you probably do), just do the following: cd /usr/ports/misc/screen sudo make install That should install screen. If you have questions about the ports system, read the manpage or the FreeBSD handbook. > Are there any alternatives?

As I said, you're welcome to compile your own. It's the first thing I do when I set up a new system. -- o--------------------------{ Will Maier }--------------------------o | jabber:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | email:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | *------------------[ BSD Unix: Live Free or Die ]------------------* _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
