Rarely have I found such an amateurish installation procedure.  It's =
obvious you guys are hard put to find anyone competent in the user =
interfaces.  And after such snobbishly rave reviews for FreeBSD on the =
web I was expecting better.  I installed on an HP533 I386 with the X =
Developer package and then discover that the kernel doesn't include the =
drivers needed for the Intel 845 graphics chip.  Ahem.  Not exactly the =
rarest beast in the jungle.  It's perfectly clear to me that you guys =
are not into winning converts from the Linux camp.  I suppose you can =
draw some cold comfort from knowing your distro installation is so =
obscure and bugridden that no one outside of the few grizzled old =
graybeard unix administrators will be able to make a system run.
