Hello, The % is the "shell prompt." It marks the place where you should type in the command you wish to execute. The symbol depends on which shell you are using. The % is used by csh and tcsh, the default shell for FreeBSD. If you "su" to root, the symbol changes to #. Of course, you can change these symbols to whatever you want; but if I were you, I would learn a great deal more about FreeBSD before worrying about that. You should read the handbook at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html (URL may have wrapped) because many of these types of questions are answered there. Also, I suggest reading http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/freebsd-questions/ (URL may have wrapped) so that when you ask a question on this list, you get the best possible answer.
