As far as I remember, the CDs wouldn't even boot into the install process at one point. They worked fine on another machine, and other installation CDs for things like NetBSD worked, so I think it probably was OS related. Perhaps FreeBSD is just missing support for my laptop's hardware, but I'm surprised that other things worked. > One of the focuses was on Wireless > support aswell, if you had any trouble with that. Wireless support would be useful, but I'm generally plugged into a wired ethernet network so it's not of huge importance.
