Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi I have over the past several years stacked up with nearly all of freebsd releases in hope that one day will come that I could install this beast without any errors. No luck yet. Somehow it's not possible to install it. I have read the instructions carefully, but without any luck. This freebsd installer could - in my opinion - be very much easier. Like what happens in the linux community right now. Just pop the cd right in and boot up with an graphic installer right from the start. Tell me why FreeBSD still uses an unfriendly installer? Linux is so easy to install that Microsoft are planning to port their Office to Linux ( Microsoft Linux that is - non free version-of course. ) I'm sure that many moore people are just waiting for an friendlier version of Freebsd. I know I do. Regards Jan Erik Amundsen Norway To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
