Ok I moved the jumpers on my modem to com 2 or cuaa1 or sio1 whichever it is. Now when I boot up to install freeBSD 4.4 stable it gets to the point of detecting hardware and just stays there. Does BSD not like modems? How am I supposed to install this so that I can use it as a router with a dialup connection? Why would it freeze on detecting hardware if I have the modem set to cuaa1? When I was getting it installed it wouldn't install kde or any windowmanager. I did get it to startx with just the bare bones x. I have 24 MB of Ram is this enough to use a window manager? Robin E.
