A colleague and I were talking about operating systems and I said, hey
lets install FreeBSD and see what Gnome looks like.
I did an install at work but ran out of time so I brought another
machine home but I'm having trouble.
I burnt an ISO of 9.0 and installed it.
I did a pkg_add ...
# pkg_add
Thanks to all the quick and helpful replies.
Getting the low hanging fruit out of the way first ...

Hi.
I have one of these cards.
I notice the PR is open - does this mean the patch was not committed?
Is there anything I can do to get eyeballs on this?
I've never compiled from source or applied a diff but if it needs
testng and someone's willing to give me a basic outline of the
procedure I'll
Hey.
I believe I have a pcmcia card that requires upgt firmware.
From upgt(4) ...
This driver requires the upgtfw firmware to be installed before it will
work. The firmware files are not publicly available. A package of the
firmware which can be installed via pkg_add(1) is
for pkg_add to deal with.
I guess pkg_add is the preferred option for firmware installation.
I'll contact the maintainer.

So I installed amd64 9.0 tonight and decided against installing ports.
I'm at a point now where I'm thinking about adding it and I see sysinstall:

Looks easy.
For some unknown reason sysinstall spits the following:

If you did it the normal way
Please define normal.
As per the way you do it? Surely that's not what you mean right?
As per the handbook?
As per the man pages?
As per the way I usually do it?
I'm new here so I don't have a normal way other than spending hours

OK, here goes: (in Nelson Muntz's voice) Haha, you clown, that's what
you get for believing what documentation says. Use a magnetized needle

There. I respect! :)
Well played.

Hey.
I've recently installed 9.0 amd64 and X11 and Gnome.
Here is my rc.conf mouse stuff:
moused_nondefault_enable=NO
Originally I'd bump the mouse and see it doing stuff on the console
and although it's a common mouse (a few weeks old) apparently it's
regarded as a non-default mouse.

Hey.
I had installed 9.0 to a SATA drive (ada1 I think) and went to install
Windows on a higher numbered drive but Windows doesn't like that or so
I gathered.
Anyway, I moved drives around and installed Windows - FreeBSD is now

I'm used to OpenBSD where fixing this is a vi fstab ...
