I downloaded 5.3 and installed it a couple times last night and had some problems. I was wondering if anyone else is having similar problems. First it is a while box computer, Intel PIII 800, 256MB PC133 RAM, Intel 815 motherboard, 2 x 40GB IDE drives, FBSD 5.2 on one drive and installing 5.3 on the second drive. Issues: The installed didn't add 5.3 to the BSD boot manager it set it up to only recognize 5.3. Not a real big deal but I setup the network during install, but after install completes network is not configured. Last is X isn't configured and now sure where to with the X.Org. During install I do choose the X Kern Dev packages. During port selection I made sure X package are selected and also WindowMaker the WM I use. X does get install but only the basic fvwm is working and if you try to exit it won't. To leave fvwm I have to hit shift-alt-bksp combo to get X to exit. Then I ran /stand/sysinstall to configure X like I would in 5.2, but I don't see the X configure anywhere. Thought I might of done something wrong and reinstalled a couple time and it was like what I described above each time. I've been look for some doc on 5.3 to see where I going wrong, but not finding much, any suggestions? Steve B.
