I've been an avid RedHat user since vs 3, but their recent marketing change has made it unrealistic for me to stay with them, so I purchased your CD bundle and installed it. I have a specific ? I use several OS's, and your bootloader finds them all; however, it prints a ?? on the screen because they are unknown to BSD. I look at the /boot/boot0 file which contains this information, but I don't know how to edit it. Do you have a way that I can edit the menu so that when I select a non-FreeBSD OS I know what I'm getting? It is going to take me a good week to get everything configured and running, but it seems that this will happen, it will just take time. You really need to get teTeX in your Ports distribution!!!
