It detected hardware correctly and installed without any problems , but during installation of the packages the following errors occurred : Add of package ...name of package... aborted , error code 1 : apache-1.3.41 links-0.98,1 apache+mod_ssl-1.3.41+2.8.31 ghostscript7-nox11-7.07_20 emacs-22.3 Number of failed packages is significantly less than failed packages of Release 7.1 amd64 installation . Due to failed package installation , at the end Gnome in 7.1 Release and Stable was unusable , at least because terminal was not available in Gnome menus with nearly empty menus . Other points may be the following : (1) During user definition password confirmation is not asked but in root password definition it is asked . For the user , the same password entry box may be re-used for password confirmation without changing screen design because entered password is not plainly visible and during password confirmation it is not necessary to keep it there , and it does not require much work to include it . ( During installation of 7.1 , I carefully first recorded password on paper , entered it , later it did not worked . ) (2) CD/DVD drive is NOT released when the message ... ( be sure to remove any floppies/CDs/DVDs from the drives ) . (3) When shutdown is selected from Gnome menu either by the first user or the root , within displayed dialog box there is no a Shutdown item . It is necessary for the root open a terminal console , and enter shutdown -p now command . PC definition : Intel DG965WH main board with 2 GB memory , PS/2 mouse and keyboard . Installation Options : Starting FreeBSD menu : Default Standard installation Fresh install ( SATA II Disk cleared before start of installation and all of the disk allocated ) Standard boot Disk layout : Default All distributions selected All of the ports categories containing all of the packages selected with the following categories excluded : accessibility ( entries selected on dependency ) chinese , ipv6 , japanese , korean , palm . IPv6 : No DHCP : Yes , Ethernet to ADSL router : Yes , worked . Gateway : No iNetd and Network services : No SSH login : No FTP : No NFS Server : No NFS Client : No Console Settings : No Time zone setting : Yes Mouse : Tested , Worked Packages : Selected , Installed User : Defined Thank you very much Mehmet Erol Sanliturk
