No ACK.
I'm still a "BSD-newbie" and I read this list for many months but I don't agree
with you. Nick and other guys have written a lot of useful postings - in reply
to people who posted a *exact* status/error description.

If *I* would have trouble I would RTFM (I know you know) and at last I would
give as much information as possible. I'm *not* one of that Windoze-people who
write just one sentence in the Usenet:
 "It doesn't work. Why?"

I also installed Solaris, HP-UX, OpenBSD/i386 and on different hardware
platforms different Linux distros (also "Linux from scratch").
My experience is that OpenBSD/mac68k is probably the most easy to install OS.

It's a pity that you have trouble.
