New to FreeBSD

[Ivan Zenzerović]

Thanks, i managed to fix this by running the post install configuration with
sysinstall. But I have another problem. Every time i start the system my
soundcard won't work. I must tipe kldload snd_driver and then logoff and
again logon in kde to get my soundcard working. How can i fix this?
