[PC-BSD Testing] First Impressions of PC-BSD-7

[Oliver Rath]

Hi everybody,

this is my first installation of PC-BSD. I have some experience in 
FreeBSD some years ago, so it wasn't to difficult. Normally I work with 
gentoo linux.

Some failures I found:

- password for first user has to be at least 8 characters, elso the 
dialog hangs. But this isn't remarked anywhere
- 3D-accelleration doesnt work (ati-3D enabled), DRI is disabled, dont 
know why
- WPA encryption doesnt work without loading additional modules (intel 
345 wpi driver)
- taking bash as default shell hasnt been adopted from the dialog
- pointing to the PC-BSD-installation by grub fails for standard entry 
(zfs problem?),
  taking rootnoverify+chainloader works

Generally PC-BSD works fine after a few corrections, its a good start 
for beta!

Hth,

Oliver
