I want to install Freebsd on it and dual boot it with Win2K Pro. I have installed/configured FreeBSD on several servers, but not on a notebook. Am looking for the fine documents, or tips that will allow me to be prepared prior to starting the install on the notebook. IE, what to document/collect from the information windows can provide, before ripping it down and installing. What Do I need to do to get the PCMCIA cards (56K modem, 3com NIC) working? How about Xconfig? Does FreeBSD have a concept for docked/undocked? (as I have a Dell latitude C/Dock docking station). Thanks, and specific pointers to where the FM's are is great. -Darryl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
