I ran the Free-bsd on older system, the only problem I had was some minor keyboard emulations. I looked up the old link, for some help. This is where I found the most useful information.

Oh on installation make sure you have all the "drivers" handy for your hardware. Stopping in the middle of something is a pain. That older system was a 486, so you may not even need those extra drivers…

hi'

thanks meelousee, but got all the install guide already

I was looking more about tips from someone who did a recent install on "quite" recent hardware, nothing fancy as I said

I think that anyway I got to download the nvidia video driver.
