Well, we may end up re-installing some Linux distro after all (I'm outnumbered), but today we tried FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE. Hint: Don't reuse an existing Linux disklabel. The installation will work fine, however, the bootstrap on the disk will crash leaving you with a system you can't boot. Redoing the install, this time deleting and recreating all partitions, fixed this. Apart from this, which isn't FreeBSD's fault I guess, the whole installation procedure went very smoothly. XFree86 seems to work, too. "X -indirect <local host>" will crash xdm, though. Has anybody seen this? I can provide the xdm configuration details. No, it's no basic xdm setup problem. We're using this configuration on a variety of Linux/BSD hosts. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the messagehelp
