Assuming that the final result is the same either midifing /etc/rc.conf or on the run (#sysctl ...) I have choisen the second because the first method did not let the kernel load the firmware for my graphic card. Anyway, just to live dangerously, I was using X11 (Office,Tor,Mail,CUPS,Xsane) tring to crash it, which didn't happen. For an instable FreeBSD version is no too bad. I simply thought to share this aiming to create an howto for a Desktop FreeBSD version and attract more people toward FreeBSD. > Best, > Kevin Zheng > Cheers Kevin. Sal 0x341A63CC p.s.: Thanks Scott
