See: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.0R/early-adopter.html so of course it is not going to work for everything. Development is=20 proceeding rapidly on 5.0, so the problem you're seeing may be fixed alre= ady.=20 Installing -current would be the only way to know. if you tried that and= got=20 the same error, then they would love to hear about it on the -current mai= ling=20 list so that it can be properly fixed. It's not likely it will ever be f= ixed=20 for 5.0 release, which is a static point on an again, rapidly moving,=20 development track. =09If 4.x works well then use that, or if you want to experiment try -cur= rent,=20 perhaps by installing a snapshot. =09As a side note, should we put something in the FAQ about this, pointin= g to=20 the early adopters guide perhaps? I'll write it up if someone will mark = it=20 up and commit it.
