Installed 5.0-DP2 last night. Everything went absolutely fine (the second time - the first time was my fault though), but there was one thing that may be of concern to new users. I have a crappy NE2000 clone that I use with my cable modem. sysinstall probed this as ed1 and therefore wrote an entry to rc.conf as: ifconfig_ed1="DHCP" Which is all fine, but when the install finished and I booted into GENERIC, the card was detected as ed0, so obviously the network configuration failed. While this is easy enough to fix, I thought I'd best mention it in case it's considered a hurdle for any new users. Is it possible that the kernel for sysinstall uses a different device.hints than GENERIC ? The card is also probed as ed0 under -STABLE, and the dmesg (from -STABLE - I can't get the -CURRENT one at the moment) entry looks like this: ed0: <NE2000 PCI Ethernet (NetVin 5000)> port 0xc400-0xc41f irq 17 at device 12.0 on pci0 ed0: address 00:40:95:44:3f:bc, type NE2000 (16 bit) Ceri PS sysinstall also mentions that the developer set contains all sources but no games, which is slightly obvious now. -- The Dwarf Father's rock!
