Heh.  As I read this, I'm trying to install Ubuntu.  It's like pulling
teeth.  By the contrary, installing FreeBSD is *so* simple, I could do
it in my sleep.

OK, so when it comes to installing FreeBSD, I wrote the book
(http://www.lemis.com/grog/Documentation/).  But maybe you should
think that things are just different.  FWIW, some very clever Linux
friends of mine are also baffled by the problems I'm having.

So, what's *your* problem?  You haven't mentioned any details.
