Well, I did an FTP install (rather than ISO) from ftp7.de.freebsd.org and it went mostly smooth, two issues: 1. ports collection is claimed to not be found (what the heck...) but some INDEX file is available, so pkg_add works. 2. at some point in time, usually around "Remaking all devices", the machine throws a handful of segfaults and boom. I'm unsure whether this might be the hardware, it's an old Cyrix MII/233 (PR300) Super7 CPU in a VIA MVP3 board (PCChips M577), 32 MB PC66 + 64 MB PC100 RAM (66 MHz FSB), nothing "server-class", but it seems to be fine even under load with SuSE Linux 8.1 or 8.2 (dual-boot). -- Matthias Andree Encrypt your mail: my GnuPG key ID is 0x052E7D95
