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.

Regards,

Stheg
