Note to self: https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/log/?qt=grep&q=terminfo&h=main 2021-03 commits in particular …

Note to readers: E&OE.

Whilst I don't intend to update this gist – it served its purpose, for me, for a while – I might do so if an error is reported (in commentary).

In a helloSystem context (root login disabled by design), the requirement to use sudo(8) created a problem with freebsd-update(8): https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/xbycd8/-/io2fofz/

Side note: /.cshrc no longer exists.
