where do you see anything offending in my reply?
Your tone is almost always offending, Reindl - and you quite often throw in a good dose of very offending cursing to boot (admittedly not this time though)... basically, I just don't like your general tone, it is *never* friendly, and more often than not it is unhelpful (like this time).
but why use it at all if it is not intentent to use later?
To get up and running quickly and do some quick testing to see if i want to invest more serious time on it?
The last time I tried to install freebsd from scratch (version 4/5 days) it was a horrendous episode that turned me off to freebsd right away. I want to avoid a repeat of that and start with a *working* system to see what i may have been missing.
Seriously, for questions like this, either post a responsive answer, or just don't answer at all.
and in my opinion a pre-built image is the wrong start
You know what they say about opinions...
you learn much more by installing and configure any OS by yourself as by use a pre-installed without have a clue why things are working and how they do
Reindl - i'm a gentoo user, I know all about the advantages of installing from scratch.
Again - just please stay silent if you don't have anything positive to contribute - and yes, you often do actually contribute positive things, and you definitely have some knowledge to share, but again, your tone and manner are almost always those of a know-it-all spoiled teenage brat, and I personally have had enough, hence my possibly overly harsh response to your know-it-all-non-response.
