Its great to be using the debian-installer for kFreeBSD. The initial boot menu says "Install Debian GNU/kFreeBSD 32 bits" but the normal term is "32 bit". In the install menus the first character isn't highlighted when the item is selected. In the task select I selected the "Graphical desktop environment" but this didn't result in a graphical desktop environment after install. xorg was installed but only a few bits of GNOME were. I suspect this is because currently 'apt-get install gnome' gives "Package gnome is not available, but is referred to by another package.". Running startx gave a black screen. Installed XFCE4 which runs fine. xorg runs correctly without the need for an xorg.conf file. Despite choosing UK keyboard on install still had to do 'dpkg-reconfigure kbdcontrol' and choose 'uk.iso.kbd' to get correct keymap on console and X. In a ttyv, the menus for 'dpkg-reconfigure kbdcontrol' and 'tasksel' have ugly window decoration as if the wrong characters have been chosen and the menu items shift left on first selection. The '-k' of 'lspci -knn' doesn't work. I guess this is a Linux only option.
