I installed via ftp from ftp.de.freebsd.org (with normal X User and User) and it went smooth so far sheere installation to disk is concerned. After installation I chose to set the root password but it didn't make it into the password db, at least I was unable to login as root after reboot. Also /etc/rc.conf didn't know about what I entered into the host configuration menu screen (all the information about gateway, hostname, domain). Just /etc/resolv.conf had inherited information from that dialog. I assume the rc.conf stuff is still under construction and it's a SNAP anyway. So no real complaint, please, just a note. Ah, and as a last note: I disabled VGA16 and SVGA since I thought I didn't need it. Later I learnt that I needed it when I wanted to try the XF86setup (graphical). So a not that VGA16 might be mandatory for some install scripts to work wouldn't be bad. -- Chris Christoph P. U. Kukulies kuku@gil.physik.rwth-aachen.de
