I tried the archive but had problems accessing beyond the first page of hits. Anyway, can I install freeBSD and XFree86 on a Lenovo T60-series ThinkPad laptop? Will I encounter any problems? I've installed older versions of freeBSD on desk{top|side} systems but never on a laptop so I'm concerned that I'll not be able to get this laptop going with freeBSD. Is there any version of freeBSD preferred for this application? How can I minimize the space consumed by WXP? I don't want to remove it entirely because I need it to update the firmware on my GPS receiver -- Garmin don't support freeBSD... :( Thanks for any help or suggestions you may have to offer.
