Machine : Proc : PIII 700 RAM : 296MB HD : Seagate 12GB (Secundary slave) 2 Realteck-like Network Cards SoundBlaster Live! Value Sound Card Installation : aac.ko loading failed (okay.. everybody knows it ;)) When I creat a slice, I wasn't able create partition without rebooting. I chose Developper distribution with ports. (1GB slice , 256MB swap disk, space left (753MB) dedicated to /) I kept newfs default options, during ports install I got : /mnt: (something like) Create symlink : no inodes free 16384 bytes as default block size seems to penalize "light" installs. So... Let's rock ! (one more time) This time I used "all entire disk" and 2GB for / and 512MB for swap. Slice Creation : OK Partitions creation : failed Reboot :) WasOK :) Same distribution 7mn later, Configure time :) No problems :) 1st boot : ok. Testing Generic kernel... CPU performances look good. Network testing (FTP) rl0: media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX ) To test I download from my main server (4.6-STABLE 4th July) a sourcemage ISO image (280MB) five times Download (FTP) : 4,5/5 MB/s I did the same on another computer (PII300) running 4.6-STABLE from 27th june. Download (FTP) : 5,5/6 MB/s And on my laptop (PIII500) under -CURRENT (24th August): Download (FTP) : 7/7,5 MB/s Upload (FTP as server): 3,5/4 MB/s I used to have about 9 MB/s with 4.5-STABLE. I hope it'll be useful :) Compiling custom kernel was OK. No problem for the moment... but network performances are the same. bye Clem PS : I tried to install 4.7RC1 on another machine, after first boot, kernel couldn't find root device, "/" entry wasn't in /etc/fstab.
