Before I installed FreeBSD, I had been using PC-BSD on the same laptop on which I now have FreeBSD. I had only been running PC-BSD on the laptop for a little over a week, when it crashed. I rebooted the machine and I had an unbootable system. It would start to boot and then lockup as soon as KDE appeared, so I think the problem wasn't PC-BSD but KDE. I then installed FreeBSD. If this happens again, I will try installing gdm or xdm to see if that fixes the problem. Because of your experience as described in this thread, I think I will put off installing FreeBSD on my desktop machines until I have an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) installed. I don't know if there are certain models of UPS's that will work with FreeBSD better than others. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
