Sounds quite a bit like the I-Opener I played with last year. The Kawasaki USB chip in my Netgear USB adapter was supported by 4.2 and worked, sort of. The performance was all over the place and I occasionally got timeout errors from the device driver, nothing but a reboot recovered the timeout errors. Perhaps 4.4 is better. One of the Linux guys had a Linux distro called Jailbait that included X and ran from the I-Opener's 16mb flash. I had a hard disk attached to mine so I never bothered trying to put FreeBSD into the flash. I'll bet you can get X running under Pico, remember Pico is just a stripped down version of FreeBSD. The PicoBSD web pages are badly out of date, basically ignore them. I've found http://www.cse.ucsc.edu/~brucem/pico_notes.htm to be the best info on PicoBSD. I'm just installing 4.4 now, perhaps some of docs have been updated. The docs that came with 4.3 were also out of date. >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/ _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
