X-BeenThere: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Mobile computing with FreeBSD List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 01 Sep 2003 18:07:03 -0000 I've got a PCG-5312 that I'm considering running FreeBSD -current on. Does anyone have experiences installing FreeBSD (of any sort) on this machine? I'm mostly concerned about installing from the Sony bootable CD drive that connects via PCMCIA. Also, if you have experience replacing the standard 20G hard drive with something larger would also like to know. My understanding is these units are very sensitive to heat and using a larger drive may cause problems. Sam
