Last night I was up late and decided I wanted to play with Libranet 1.9.1 that I'd had installed for a few months. Well, I hadn't been using it and forgot why until I logged in last night. XFree86 been nonfunctional since I upgraded from an ATI AIW 128 Pro to a Radeon 7500. I tried to get it up and gave up. I'd been hearing of FreeBSD awhile (that, and NetBSD, which I downloaded burned to CDs), so I decided that I'd put Libranet out of its misery and install FreeBSD. I started around 12pm today and its almost 12am and I'm still trying to get FreeBSD installed. I'm installing via FTP (I've a cable modem) but that's not the problem...(well, yeah, it is, partially, as the FTP and all its mirrors are packed)...its my Radeon card again. It seems the Radeon 7500 doesn't have X support for FreeBSD either, at least not out-of-the-box. So, I'm toiling at the keyboard trying to get it installed. A few more hours and I'm gonna just call it quits and try NetBSD instead, as I've the disks already.
