IPAQ is Strong-ARM, not ix86 based computer. |But FreeBSD does not support ARM based machines for now :( Such project is |going on, but it's at early stage now. John Utz: |randall, where you talking about a legacy free iPaq desktop machine or the |iPaq handheld? It's the 10" LCD Desktop, not the handheld. - K6-2/266 CPU - 16MB RAM, & 16MB Flash Drive - 800x600 10" LCD screen - Cyberblade i7 VIA chipset - Kawasaki USB->Ethernet - USB Keyboard/Mouse See http://www.linux-hacker.net/ipaq/ If we can just get the network card, XFree86, and an xterm running on it, I'll be satisfied. Using it as an X server for remote apps is probably the best option given it's memory size. But that may be a problem for PicoBSD (as it doesn't support X, or so the docs say...), so I'll keep reading.
