I know I said that probably would have the same problems, but I was too hasty.  Remember you have to create a bootable device rather than just copy a file onto a FAT32 USB stick - you may already realize that.

Hello

eventually the use of a usb memory stick solved the problem!

Never the less I can not proceed with the GUI stuff. For instance the

# pkg install xorg 

returns an error message regarding the repositories.

Also another question: is there any way to set up the WiFi?

Hello to all

yesterday I downloaded the 5.4.1 version of DragonflyBSD. Never the less when I tried to boot the iso dvd image the system went to an endless loop (see attached picture) and I was unable to start the installer.

Any idea/feedback is more than welcome, since I would like to test my luck and try the transition from Debian Linux (testing) to DragonflyBSD.

Thank you all.
