With my new 2.2.5 (very stable) after perhaps 6 hours and as many retries, zip. X fails. I can't find the VGA-16 driver. The release fails to boot in any fashion, although this may be a BIOS config problem. Debian was almost pushbutton on my 0th and 2nd SCSI; so X does work with my Matrox vcard. This is my 3rd CD set. Should be the simplest, but isn't. If there are any FBSD gurus in the Seattle area willing to help out, I'll buy ya a beer. In fact an entire case! gary kline kline@tera.com kline@thought.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
