Comments like this are unhelpful. FreeBSD installs just fine and I and many many thousands of other folks install it all the time. Given the most elementary laws of statistics, I have to assume that the fault is yours (in fact, I'd bet money on it).

IMHP, FreeBSD Based on the content and tone of this message, I have to say that I have serious doubts about the veracity of this statement. Nonetheless, if sticking with Windows is your bag then I can only suggest that you stick with it. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
