I installed 4.0 on a notebook yesterday, using the docking station. As previously described, I had hardware probing problems without using the ethernet card in the docking station. Well, sadly, X11 requires an extra option or two to work when with the docking station, but I figured that out and that works too. Here are some observations: 1) I isntalled from ftp.freebsd.org -- the RSAREF package install failed, breaking SSH and friends. 2) I chose the gnome/afterstep desktop combo--some of the afterstep icons were broken 3) I switched to the gnome/enlightenment combo--the file manager never turned up, and the console spewed warnings from Perl about locale settings I realize that these are all ports-related problems, but they're very visible points of failure, that would turn up early in any review in a magazine or the like :-).
