Machine in question is AVERATEC 3150H laptop which was running FreeBSD since 5.2.1, so I did not expect too many problems. So far, I have encountered few, though: -- sysinstall complained about missing packages/INDEX file ("Unable to get packages/INDEX file from selected media") and consequently failed to install X.Org components and Linux ABI compatibility. As far as I can judge from number of times I had to press OK button, it went through X components twice. At the end, it reported that it was not able to install X.Org and Xserv in the separate message box. -- it offered to configure existing network interface (vr) and bring it up but failed to do so with the message box stating "Unable to configure the vr0 interface! This installation method could not be used". After reboot, interface was brought up and properly configured. -- it was not able to configure and start mouse daemon. I have touchpad device on this machine, so maybe setting some flags would have cured, it -- I have not experimented with it much. At this point I have working system (no X, no Linux emulation). If there is any additional information I can provide, I will be happy to. -- Alexandre "Sunny" Kovalenko (Олександр Коваленко)
