Hi, Firstly can I just say how impressed I am with FreeBSD, I've used quite a few commercial nix and RedHat Linux (which has given us no end of problems on our cluster here at work - the NFS is STILL buggy). Everything in FreeBSD that I'm using here just works fine (so far!) and I feel like I can really depend on the system. I really do like the focus of the FreeBSD project and hope it continues to grow. The only extremely minor niggle I came across was a problem with the full-screen visual slice editor which is run during install-time. I feel that a lot of FreeBSD-newbies like myself with Unix experience are likely to select 'A' for some automatic slice sizes and then customize these. Howvever, there seems to be a bug in the code that calculates how much room there is on the disk ... because I can delete a slice of say 2Gb, but I can't then add two slices of size 1Gb ... unless I re-run the installer and make sure I don't select 'A' first. hope this is clear cheers tim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
