Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I asked about this a while ago and only got one reply from someone who was (politely) questioning the mental state of anyone who would purchase a pb machine. Okay, I was stupid. Now, has anyone put fbsd on a pb? I tried just doing an install, without success. It just hangs at various points (none of the 9 tries hung at the same spot) after all of the setup screens and fs work, while copying blocks of data from the cd. If I can get this box running fbsd, I'm rid of M$! Lee
