Heh. As I read this, I'm trying to install Ubuntu. It's like pulling teeth. By the contrary, installing FreeBSD is *so* simple, I could do it in my sleep. OK, so when it comes to installing FreeBSD, I wrote the book (http://www.lemis.com/grog/Documentation/). But maybe you should think that things are just different. FWIW, some very clever Linux friends of mine are also baffled by the problems I'm having. So, what's *your* problem? You haven't mentioned any details.
