Decent partition editor

Hi folks! I was reorganizing my hard-disks these days to suppress all Linux and ext2fs stuff - I finally decided I wanted to keep just FreeBSD on my desktop at home. The 2 disks were scattered in 8 partitions in total and I decided to group some of them. That's where the headaches started... I tr

Problem installing the ISO images (5.1 and 5.2)

Hi FreeBSD'ers! I'm facing a funny situation that I don't really understand... I'm currently running 5.1 (I thought it was -STABLE but the CDROM says -RELEASE, so I'm not completely sure as I have had it for some time). It installed painlessly. As I was reorganizing my hard disk, I thought I woul

Re: KDE and US International keyboard
