At least I do. As invaluable and paradigm-shifting as virtualization is, I still like to run different OSen on bare hardware. For example right now I'm working on a prototype FreeBSD NAS, troubleshooting problematic disc controllers, and being able to run a Linux kernel is very useful to compare how both systems see and use the hardware, or access some programs I'm more familiar with. I'm not saying I expect bsdinstaller to hold my hand ; I'm comfortable using gpart, fdisk, grub and dd to get what I want, but it would be nice if things were clear on what is going to happen (through user dialog or even simply in the FreeBSD Handbook). _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
