freebsd status

so far so good ... it recognized everything, let me setup my network card, and is now fetching everything over FTP.

i was impressed: it asked me if I wanted to use IPv6 ... I would've, but I have no clue what IP address I'd use, and our Cisco wouldn't NAT it ... I could've done 6over4, if FBSD supported it, but I have no clue how that all works either.

56% done extracting bin into /

I hope this isn't one of the scrollbars that goes from 0 to 100% an unknown number of times.... might as well have files flying between two folders if the scrollbar progresses more than once. all you care is that it's doing something. 63% doesn't mean crap, then. we'll see. 64% now.
