The installation took me less than half an hour, the graphical installation is quite nice (even though it should mention somewhere that you MUST install FreeBSD on a primary partition) and PC-BSD booted fine, recognized my soundcard and came up with a nice KDE3.4. The only thing I had to do was change the resolution and the driver (vesa is not a good idea if you have an ATI card) in XF86Config. The next thing I have to do is to get the network working (actually I have an ISDN router, so this should not be a big deal). And then I should probably start reading the nice handbook:-) Greetings, Michael
