OK, that was it for the keyboard matter. Thx..
No problem, it's all standard stuff
OK, after installing 915resolution, I can use the 1280 pixel width on
my tiny screen, giving me 25% more usable space..

If I insert a USB memory stick in my laptop with FreeBSD 7.0 nothing
happens. On the same laptop in the SuSE 10.1 partition, the same USB
stick appears in Konqueror under Storage Media and is ready to use)
In FreeBSD, Konqueror shows nothing under Storage Media.
Is this normal?

FreeBSD 7.0 comes with the user root with start up shell /bin/csh
As normal user I use bash (/usr/local/bin/bash installed)
I would prefer to have bash also when working as root (su).
Of course I can do
# bash
[root ~]#
or I could change the startup shell in /etc/passwd, but would that be a wise
I installed KDE and the KDM display manager in FreeBSD.
On my portable I have a non-US keyboard (a european country layout),
in KDE I can set it to the appropriate keyboard layout.
KDM login window is still in US qwerty keyboard, which makes me have
to enter my password with different keystrokes
I installed FreeBSD 7.0 already on a system at my office (from CDs)
and set up internet connection while installing using the office LAN
(and its DHCP service).
I installed FreeBSD also on my laptop at home (with no network connection).
(with X windows; startx gives me twm ..)

what is RAID5 of RAID6???
RAID5 or RAID6 (sorry, typing error)
If you
raidz is available for Freebsd through the file system format ZFS
and is similar to RAID-5.
Is that in FreeBSD 7.0 Production release?
But there is also RAID-Z2 which uses two forms of parity to achieve
results similar to RAID6: the ability to sustain up to two drive
failures without losing

If you want to extend your disk space by plugging in an extra
