I trying to write a script that will make it easier for a friend that I finally talked into trying Freebsd setup a desktop.
This part of the script is suppose to change the line in the ttys file to allow kdm to start on boot. Here is the relavent code: KDMLINE="/usr/local/bin/kdm -nodaemon" REPLACELINE="/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" sed -e "s/$REPLACELINE/$KDMLINE/g" /etc/test/ttys > /etc/test/new Here is the error I'm getting: sed: 1: "s//usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -n ...": bad flag in substitute command: 'X' I can't seem to figure this out and the only things I've found in searching is that sed had a problem with replacing strings over 4096 bytes, but I don't think this is the cause and all those post were years old. This is on FreeBSD 5.3.
