Maybe there are various other ways of installing FreeBSD, but these came quickest to mind. > 2) I'd like to see some config files for XFree ? Some XF86Config's are available at http://www.linux.org/hardware/laptop.html I don't know if there are Libretto configfiles present, but it helps having some examples. I know for sure that there are some Omnibook and Compaq config files, maybe the admin of the pages has a XFConfig for Libretto or knows ppl that have it > 3) Only one doubt ... is the floppy interface seen under FreeBSD ? What do you mean by a floppy interface ? > Any other info is welcome... I don't have experience with PAO, but by reading this mailinglist I've got the impression that it's a kind of portable (as in portable computer) version of FreeBSD, but the others can help you with that.
