Hi. My name is Lars and lives in Sweden. I have finally bought FreeBSD 5.2 and the handbook from the FreeBSD-mall. That's great! I've wanted to leave the Windows-world and I have been testing Linux for a few years. But I have some problems with my FreeBSD-installation, and I hope someone here can help me! Facts: FreeBSD5.2 (feb 2004 version), IBM Thinkpad (laptop with 300Mhz Intel II, 96Mb RAM and 20Gb HDD. 1. Since I have been used to KDE over the years, I have decided to continue with that, but it locks up the entire computer - sometimes when I start KDE, and mostly when I shut it down. 2. In frustration over KDE-issues I tested Gnome. Quite pretty Window Manager, but I never got any working keyboard there. Ideas? And can I run KDE-applications in Gnome? I use Kstars a lot. 3. In Sweden we have some exciting extra wovels... but the keymaps never seem to find them. What do I do wrong? What kind of a keyboard do I have on a Thinkpad anyway?! At some configurations I've got the > and <, but no ~, and of course the opposite has also happened. Um... I think that's all for now. Hope someone can help! Thanks in advance! / Lars
