J Costain I installed 2.1.7 on an NEC Versa (486-66) along with (ugh) Win 95 on a 350 Mb Hard drive several months ago. I don't remember much about it, so it must have been fairly painless. If memory serves me correctly I did an NFS install from another FreeBSD host. What equipment is on your laptop, CD-ROM, network card, etc?
