No luck yet. Somehow it's not possible to install I have install all releases of FBSD since 2.2.8 from a cd or a bootable cd and had problems only ONCE, because CD was not primary slave (there was a feature in one of the releases:). I can install FreeBSD with my eyes closed and i am sure that if hardware is ok, then the install will be fine. As for graphics interface.. well, it would nice, but i won't use it, because you will never what goes wrong with those graphics i-faces. It might the install or might be the graphics card is too unusual. Personally, i'd stick to text screens, the are just way much more reliable. As for friendliness, well, there is nothing at this point I would add to the installer, but I would rather delete a lot from it. And make some parts a bit more understanble, like, in some case it is not intuitive, that you will have to press OK to cancel :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
