My ThinkPad is now off life support and running FreeBSD on its own. My biggest problem turned out to be replacing the kernel in the bin.tgz with the kernel that I had built. It's a simple tar operation, but I had to find about 40 meg of free disk space to work with the file! No mean task when you are running three operating systems (FreeBSD, OS/2 and DOS) on a 486 with around 600 meg of space. Now, what I would like to know is: are scancode 2 keyboards going to be supported in 2.1, or will I have to go through this all again when I upgrade? Jeff Wilson amazed to be running a great UNIX system on a little laptop with 4 meg of RAM!
