If you couldn't get past the initial boot, your machine is probably screwed. If you followed the directions and the install hung, that's a clue. If you didn't follow the directions but expected it to install like Linux, that's a clue too. FreeBSD is just about the easiest system to install. The only other OS that is so clean is Red Hat, with bazillions of dollars of support personnel to program a user-friendly interface, and it still took them several releases to get X-Windows right. -ecsd John Galt wrote: > > I highly doubt that you're a "seasoned linux user", otherwise, you'd know > that invariably in open source projects, the questions@ mailing list is > not the place you ask for your money back.
