if anyone sees any online FreeBSD 4.3 reviews, please post the URLs to them here... there will doubtless be many people interested in them.

review or not, I'm dl'ing 4.3... 4.2 was great, and now that there's an update available... :cool: :D :cool: :D

You really should just cvsup and make a new world. It's easier and better than upgrading via an iso.

how do I do that?

I'm new to FreeBSD, and I haven't quite gotten around to figuring everything out... :(

Have you heard about the Book of the Hand (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO_8859-1/books/handbook/current-stable.html)?

i might like 4.3 better if X worked. my 4.1 was install was shot to hell awhile ago, so i got the new ISO and installed it exactly the same as i have 4.1 (i've installed it like 14 times if you include helping friends), and this time x just decided it doesn't want to work. i don't have the time to fsck with it right now, but i'll get back to it sometime next week.

really? I got X working in 2 seconds :)

Of course, I did see that X 3.3.6 was an option, so i played it safe and stuck with that....

XFree 4.0.2 or higher is the only option for me, I have an ati Radeon 64Meg DDR VIVO. I finally have the image downloaded so I will give it a go tonight and see what happens. I remembered installing XFree 4.0.2 on 4.2 was a bear. I learned to make an image of the install before attempting installing XFree, makes it much easier to recover from my mistakes. This time I will remember to record my steps because I discovered that XFree will only work correctly if I follow certain steps.

I have a Voodoo3 card... whatever version of X I choose, it should be a snap to get it up and running :D
