Then I pkg_add'ed xorg and KDE4, this was painless too. I am very disappointed with my experience problem # 1 The problem is KDE4 is not able to display anti aliased fonts. I have made the required changes to make it work, of course, in System Settings -> Appearance -> Fonts Hinting -> Full, and there is is one more option, the name i cannot recall ATM, I have set it to RGB. DPI to 96......this is has worked for all combination of installs I have used so far, viz KDE3 on FreeBSD-6.x to KDE4.1.x on FreeBSD-7.x and KDE4.2 on FreeBSD-8.0RC1 problem # 2 I observed that both FreeBSD8.0-RC1 and FreeBSD8.0-RC2, simply freeze due to no reason. The pain is I don't get a core dump. When it freezes the only option is to hard boot by reseting the power. This might need more information to guess the cause. I will give basic info. This is Dell Inspiron 1525 Laptop, with Intel Core2. My suspect mostly goes to wpi driver, no proof, just my gut feeling. problem # 3 starting with 8.0 wpi driver no longer is the interface, wlanX is to be created. this is not news, but every time I manually create the wlan0 interface and spawn wpa_supplicant. This shuould be automatic, as I have followed the guidelines of rc.conf(5). I can provide output of rc_debug="YES" if someone is willing. How can i install all files under /etc from the source ?
