I will send this to freebsd-questions too, because I hope there will be some more people interested. Of course I have to set up a dual boot machine, I can't destroy the working system. On friday I will start with a standard minimal installation and try to get accounts at some dns-redirection service. So hopefully I can do the rest of the installation from home via telnet. And I am planning to use the gnome desktop enviroment - just because I know it well enough. Regards, Uli.
