Hello and welcome (back).

You must be thinking of one of the numerous live systems that come and go every now and then. Or perhaps you're talking about sysinstall? It has been replaced with bsdinstall and is being phased out. http://www.freebsd.org/releases/9.0R/announce.html http://www.freebsd.org/releases/9.0R/relnotes.html

I mean, in older versions, after the main install and before the account and group set ups, it would set up the mouse and monitor and configure X for you. Then you just had to turn on XDM (again, these are 6ish year old memories)? The two times I experimented with 9, it didn't even install X. I spent a lot of time trying to get it up with limited success.

Looks like I got an unwarrented promotion - Spam Deminer to VPN cryptographer with my 330th post. I have to confess, I do not know squat about VPN or cryptography. Last edited by shep; 19th June 2012 at 10:09 PM. Reason: Promotion |

You now have to install X from packages or ports after the install.

I had also found the release notes... but a lot of that is Greek to me and a have a (n older) CompSci background. I would think that if they were going through trouble of maintaining two production releases, they'd have a brief digest or comparison to help weight the coin I'm mentally flipping . 9 is obviously the future, but is it of interest to me, atm, if I'm just looking for a server Like, wasn't 5.x or 6 a real turd and the next x.0 was the version to have? (and I'm trying to be funny, there... as I recall, I struggled a lot with 5.4 and finally some told me I needed to be on 6.0, which I was avoiding because of the .0. Then all of a sudden, the consensus was there was a design flaw in the 5.x architecture that they had backed out of on 6) Thank you all for your responses and patience... JimB
