I'll include some of the specs for informative purposes: PIII-750MHz, 128mb RAM, ATI Rage Mobility-P, ESS Maestro-2e sound, 3com FEM656T (10/100+56k) PC card. I tried installing Linux (*gasp*) only because the machines I administer are Linux - but now I've once again given up on Linux and am going back to BSD. Any help on this matter would be appreciated. Please reply directly back to me, since at the moment I am not subscribed to the list.
