You need to download AMD64 netboot or network installation CD.

I am trying to install freebsd via FTP from the us website, but I do not know what to put in the Options Editor for the field titled “Release Name” so that it will download and install the AMD64 version of FreeBSD 7.2 (as I have the i386 DVD) – if I leave the default of 7.2-RELEASE it gives me the i386 version every time. please assist.

I’ve installed FreeBSD 7.2 not just because of the enhancement in virtualization but it’s support to HP ML110 hardware raid function.

What about wireless support? I quit using FreeBSD a while ago because I couln’t get my Compaq C720BR fully functional.

Thank you.

FreeBSD is easy to handle, even more than Ubuntu. :)

Great review, as usual from Cyberciti. Thanks !

Yes, it just like UNIX; however it is not tough to handle.

YMMV
