Thanks. I'll bear the doas command in mind when I'm just wanting temporary root powers. PS: I just typed
and it does something but its unclear whether I've exited root.... Has it?
It has the $ sign instead of # at the command line starting prompt so I'm guessing this is proof that I'm out of root now?
Now, regarding internet access. I entered
Code:
ifconfig em0 inet autoconf
to connect my OpenBSD laptop to the router for it to get auto assigned an IP from the routers DHCP. I then tried syspatch which did something, but then after a few mins nothing appeared so it seems thats still kaput?
I then went ahead and downloaded a package (Firefox) using
and it spat out this verbose list of things it was downloading and then extracting, but I noticed a few errors. Finally in the tail it shows
"
Can't install firefox-107.0. Can't resolve icu4c-71.1v0". I'd like to scroll back up through the verbose output but I can't (in xterm window). How do I scroll back up through the output as FFox was dloaded and installed? There's a up/down bar toggle on the left of the screen but clickign it and then moving it up and down does nothing... Neither does PGUP or PGDWN, or the direction keys! URGGH!
Also, why didn't it install properly given my use of
?
