Hurray



I finally did it.  I finally installed OpenBSD and it works.  However, it is not familiar to me.  I have a few questions to ask some knowledgeable soul out there in BSD land.

1)    How do I set up more virtual consoles?  Just in case I've missused a term, what I want to know is, how do I set up more consoles so that I can <alt>+<Fx> to another vertual terminal?
2)    How do I setup the command line history to allow me to uparrow scroll through the commands given in history?
3)    Final question, at least for now, how do I setup the root account so that I'm not asked for terminal emulation every time I login?  Also, what is the default terminal emulator?
4)    Sorry, one last question.  How does one make a user able to use the su command?  I thought that users part of group wheel could, and I made myself part of wheel but I couldn't use su.  Come to think of it, I might not have added myself properly.  During useradd, I made myself an account and said that it was part of the login group wheel.  I thought that would do, but evidently not.

But I did it, you all won't have to "listen" to anymore messages about, "What's going on with this partitioning stuff?"  Have a great day everyone.
