I am sick of these people who are whining that people are complaining. :) :) Some *BSD people think that they are good at UNIX, but this is not true. One proof is that people are saying, "We spent day and night to make things work", but how can they write so BAD scripts for installation during so many days and nights ? Even a unix novice can write a nice script for a short amount of time. Note that people who enters in UNIX on intel chips are not always Unix novices. The reason why they have trouble is that the system is different. And the differences/conflicts can be resolved by good/correct documentation and better installation scripts. Installing NetBSD/FreeBSD with DOS in single drive does not work and the documentations are incorrect. Please either correct them or remove them so that naive people may not need to waste their valuable time. >A lot of excellent work has gone into both.
