not able to dual-boot Windows

I am not able to dual-boot Windows with Beta 1.

installed Windows first (Windows 2000) and then Beta 1,  changed the 
size of the / partition,  USF2 + Soft Updates,  did not select use 
entire disk and ticked boot loader -- dual-booting with 1 Hard Drive.

boot loader has only F1 FreeBSD and no Windows.

Thanks for the heads up! I've just committed some fixes for this, it 
should work with SSIDs with spaces in the name, and display them 
properly in the NetworkTray tool as well.

Try this:

kmenu -> system settings -> Add / Remove Software -> System Components 
-> Source Code -> Install

Then choose "internet" for the source location, and it should pull it down.

If it does let you in eventually, at least we know the password *is* 
working. However, you may want to try typing around in a konsole session 
for a bit. I have a wireless keyboard here which doesn't work right with 
FreeBSD, it tries to insert ^ <at>  characters at random times, and messes up 
my typing as well :)

As for qdevelop, let me know what errors you run into!

Well, I've tested this here, and I can't seem to make it fail on my end. 
Are you able to easily duplicate it? Maybe there is some sort of special 
character being put into your password / username which is causing them 
to fail?

If you like, privately send me the details about what user / pass you 
are using and I'll try to duplicate the error here and come up with a fix :)

Picon

kernel source

It works. Thanks.

I was using USB img for installation. I selected source code but as you know, it didn't install.

I managed to get the latest kernel source (dated 8/28) and compiled, but it
won't boot.

Please someone show me where to get the kernel source which will boot with
this PC-BSD beta.

Try this:

kmenu -> system settings -> Add / Remove Software -> System Components -> Source Code -> Install

Then choose "internet" for the source location, and it should pull it down.

BTW, which type of media did you use to initially install with? I'll need to find out why your source didn't get installed in the first place.

I've seen this at times as well. I'm not sure if its related to qdbus or 
something in the backend which is making KDE run into seemingly random 
slowdowns.

You may want to report this here as well though:

http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-freebsd/

They may already be aware of it, but maybe they can help us figure out 
whats going on.
