I started with a FreeBSD 9.0 DVD, but there where issues with partitioning (it simply didn't work), that's why I chose PC-BSD 8.2. IOW installing FreeBSD on my machine isn't that simple. Simply building a new kernel would be to much hassle? On Linux building a kernel is very easy, just a little bit time consuming, it takes around 90 minutes for the compiler, but I could use the computer without issues during compiling, to do other work (but I don't do it, when compiling such). OTOH isn't it possible just to build the driver for the current kernel? What are the drawbacks of upgrading everything? Is there some wicked transition? Regards, Ralfhome | help
