That's a point especially when you want to turn an older 150 MHz P1 into a worthful part of the IT society. :-) No, honestly: If the GUI installer just runs on a narrow subsets of up-to-date GPUs, there are major problems. Especially when a server has no GPU at all. Let me state this: correct screen detection is already a problem with "the big" X, how should "a small" installer get this right with its limited resources? Mind this: The installer runs in a very limited setting, while X can rely on an already running system. Good ways to go (for those who want it this way) are PC-BSD, DesktopBSD and FreeSBIE. > I find it fast and efficient the way it is. Which makes it modern, in my opinion. But hey, I'm old and old-fashioned anyway. :-) -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
