<br>
Since I was unable to install from net or USB with the
PCBSD9.0-BETA1-x64-USB-bootonly.img (on my USB thumbdrive), I
decided to try the PCBSD9.0-BETA1-x64-USBLITE.img<br>
<br>
The network install seems broken in the same way for both the
'bootonly' and 'USBLITE' versions:<br>
<ul>
<li>Choosing network install and configuring DHCP/auto, or
manual network configuration make no difference. <br>
</li>
<li>Clicking 'next' brings up the mirror selection window,
either choosing one from the list or manually typing one, seem
to give the same result. <br>
</li>
<li>The mirror selection window closes when clicking on its
'select' button, but then clicking on the 'next' button in the
primary installer window, brings back the mirror selection
window.</li>
</ul>

What was your network connection / setup like? Proxy? Or should
regular DHCP just work? <br>

chosen as the source. However, I would strongly suggest some kind
of indication during this process of what the "lite" version
actually installs. I realize that this information can be obtained
elsewhere but I believe it should be included, possibly as part of
the installation summary at least. I recommend a new heading "USB
'lite' is defined as:"<br>

I'll make sure we specify that better, we'll have to update the web
/ download pages before release to indicate what each type of media
has / does. <br>

That "slow boot/load" I mentioned in the other post was the
FreeBSD/x86 bootstrap loader, and after reaching the boot menu, a
further boot to the login prompt is speedy.<br>
<br>
I managed to write down most of that odd error message (I don't
recall seeing it during install/boot of previous versions), it
was:<br>
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">Detecting X setup<br>
Autoconfiguring X server... ls: /dev/uhid* no such file or
directory<br>

</div>

Fixed this in SVN. <br>

'lite' there are problems with the display configurator.
Preliminary investigation seems to imply that no changes are made.
I would expect to see a difference when switching from 1900x1200
to 1600x1200, or changing drivers from radeonhd-3d-enable to
radeonhd or to ati. I am unsure what I should expect, but I will
keep looking into it to see if switching to an almost unusable
1024x768 would be a large enough change to notice. :)<br>

What type of video card is in this system? The ATI / Intel drivers
are really crummy, and if you select those drivers and it brings you
right back to the configuration screen it means X failed to startup.
After trying to test a new display setup, right-click on the
background and bring up "xterm" and run "cat
/var/log/Xorg.0.log.old" and you should be able to see what the
particular X error was when testing the new config. <br>
