Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG A young family member has been offered a cheap used laptop and wants to know if it will work with FreeBSD. It's a Toshiba Satelite Pro 420 CDT with 40 MB memory and a P100 and a choice of /either/ a floppy or a CDROM. He wants to know if the CDROM version can boot off FreeBSD CDs, or if he should take the one with the floppy and install from our LAN; and if the thing would be able to run FreeBSD + X11 successfully. Please Cc me with any replies, as I'm not currently subscribed to the list. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
