I am running FreeBSD 5.0 (far out of date, I know) on a Toshiba Satelite 11=
00.

Basically, I am not willing (nor experienced enough !) to run a system at=20
state-of-the-art level.=20
So I would really like to go with 4.9 (or 4.10)
However: my "Satellite" can't even boot any 4.xx CD / Floppy.

Boot Process stops with a message complaining about PC-Cards and Controller.
(Sorry, no screen-shots available)

Running 5.0 works so far (with exception of regular compplains about ACPI) =
=2D=20
but it works!=20
Only thing that matters: ports and packages are also out of date.

Since I am using my Notebook on a regular base, I fear upgrades and=20
"experiments".

Has anybody a tip for me (besides "buy a new one ..." ;=3D)


Any hints and help is most appreciated!
