It does not include a floppy drive, and since i dont give it much importance im not caring about it. However i was wondering if anybody out there has tried out this laptop with FreeBSD. If there´s someone out there, my q´s are: - Does FreeBSD support the external CD-ROM drive, else i wont be able to install it with no floppy drive, or not? - Are there any obscure hardware issues with this laptop? - The vendor site says it supports 800x600, will i be able to view a 1024x768 resolution? Any advice, considerations, opinions, /etc.. are welcome, thanks to all, oscar _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
