Thanks in advance. > I just bought a Clevo 2850 (www.clevo.com.tw). They're sold re-badged. I'm running 4.0-S on it. Mine has a 600 MHz P3 with SpeedStep, 128 MB, 15.1" TFT with 1024x768, a 12GB HD and, best of all, on-board 10/100 Ether. It also has a builtin floppy and CD/DVD drive (you choose). There's also one PCMCIA slot. It all works under FreeBSD since I updated if_lnc.c to recognize the ethernet chip :), an Am97C793. It cost me (after converting from DM to USD) about $ 2,100. It's pretty heavy, though, about 7 pounds. --- Gary Jennejohn / garyj@muc.de gj@freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
