As a suggestion, we should have some sort of category stating which versions of FreeBSD are known to work with piece of hardware XYZ. This would then allow somebody to make the query "if I buy HoozieWutzit XP4, will it work with FreeBSD 4.1?" and receive an answer. I could probably donate some time to gathering information for one of the above categories (or something on the "Other" branch--seems to me with all the integrated chipset/peripheral solutions coming out these days, a natural question is "does FreeBSD work with this motherboard and if so, what pieces of it, etc." ...). I know nothing of XML but can learn and can at least gather stuff in ASCII files ;-). This is a great idea .... -Jr -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | John Reynolds WCCG, CCE, Higher Levels of Abstraction | | Intel Corporation MS: CH6-210 Phone: 480-554-9092 pgr: 602-868-6512 | | jreynold@sedona.ch.intel.com http://www-aec.ch.intel.com/~jreynold/ | =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
