Last week, I installed 5.2 onto an EPIA M10000, and it worked fine. I "upgraded" (;-) to -current over the weekend, and it appears to be running fine (it's currently doing a long "portupgrade -Rrb"). I am using a plain 3.5" disk (Seagate), however, and not a 2.5" one. [ Well, I should say that I *think* I have an M10000. I ordered an M10000, and the board looks like an M10000 (all the major chips and connectors are in the correct locations), but the manual that came with the board says, "Falcon". I'm also a bit surprised at the power consumption, although, in hindsight, it's probably in the right ballpark: with the motherboard, 512MB PC2100 RAM, DVDROM drive, two 2" fans, and one 3.5" 7200 RPM Seagate ST3200822A drive, it's sucking up ~60W idle (the power supply also has a ~3-4" fan). ] -- Darryl Okahata darrylo@soco.agilent.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion, or policy of Agilent Technologies, or of the little green men that have been following him all day.
