X-BeenThere: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Mobile computing with FreeBSD List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sat, 17 Jul 2004 00:48:42 -0000 Toshiba 5100-603 laptop: Any Warnings or hints in advance before I install one Sunday 18th or after, (when I will be on the road, no alternate FreeBSD box to read manuals or access net with etc) Are there any complete show stoppers I'll hit, or magic needed ? (example an AST laptop I have refuses to even boot without hw.pcic.intr_path="1" hw.pcic.irq="0" Probably I'll install 5.2.1 but 5.1 or 4.10 or 4.9 if problems, 'till return. I'll be installing X11 too, I believe it's a NVideo GeForce4 440 Go Graphics, any problems there ? I expect I'll have the normal disgusting Toshiba mess: can only access BIOS via M$: This box has no internal floppy, just an external USB flop, I believe, so more agro there I guess. I might have to, for the first time in my life, just squeeze the M$ down to a few Gig, & leave minimal M$ excrement in place, at least initially, despite normal desire to zap M$ completely off any drive I lay hands on ? - Julian Stacey.
