I wonder if it is possible to install it from an ext. CD-drive (NEC) with SCSI-interface plugged into the parallell port? If not, do I have to use diskettes? When will the next release of freebsd come out?? Is it possible to test if the computer can handle the operatingsystem, before I make an installation. (or even a purchase)? // Paul Waserbrot (--------------------------------------------------------------------) ( Paul Waserbrot | Student at Chalmers Univ. of Techn. ) ( f95pawa@dd.chalmers.se | Engineering Physics ) ( ) ( http://www.dd.chalmers.se/~f95pawa ) ( --- ) ( You cannot kill time without injuring eternity. ) (--------------------------------------------------------------------)
