Correct, guys, thanks so much! I ran the -cuurent of August 7th, and it runs through, and reboots properly. And X comes up without problem with 'startx'. Looks good to me, so far. And a new installer. Somewhat confusing, though: Layout [A]utomatic (or so) has a lower case default at the line end:[a] At the end, it finds an MP kernel and says 'using bsd.mp instead'. It might be better to formulate it in a manner to clearly state - "I will use" or - "You might want to use" Actually, I'd prefer the second version: asking, with .mp as default. Timezone might better go at the beginning, with ntp. One slash is missing in between, when the newly created directories are shown. There it looks something like /mnt /mnt/usr /mnt/home etc. I was looking for '/', and it seems to be missing in the first line. Thanks again!! Uwe
