some NB questions to get going
I installed solaris 10 and am very impressed with it.
My main OS (up till now) is FreeBSD-6.1
I have some starter questions:
(1) Does root have his own directory? After my install of SOL the root
files are written in /
(2) Were can I read about installing my own packages. I very much miss
slrn, mutt, mc for instance and want to install some basic 'tools' asa I
can.
(3) Is it possible to change consoles? The 'normal' key seq alt/ctl/Fx
does not seem to work ;-)
(4) I'm used to Xorg but have no problems with the java desktop so far.
Only thing is I want international keys (like é) and can't find where to
set this up. Not like fbsd in /etc/X11/xorg.conf ;-) Where can I find
this configuration file (if it exists).
(5) How come 'useradd' wants to create to a default /home{user} while
/home is not writable (probably ment for nfs mounts?).
The home directories are created in /exports/home. Can this be changed
or do I give the '-d {path} everytime I create a user?
I know, lots of questions, but I think that if I get these ones answered
I can get exploring. Finding my way on the disk (now) is a little
difficult (or slow, in graphical mode).
Hope to get some answers.

Slrn and mutt might be already installed in your system as it is in mine
under /opt/sfw/bin.
