There is another interesting option: The hardware of your laptop is powerful enough to run Linux as a hosting system, with FreeBSD running in a VM. This gives you the advantages of both worlds. :-) > And help resolving similar problems, that the one, > I'm having right now.

I fully agree - (re)creating the ability to install and run FreeBSD on this specific hardware is definitely an interesting task. While I can say that "use a VM" is a solution that will usually work in all settings, having native support and a successful installation on hardware that isn't "too abnormal" would be great. There surely is a way to achieve this. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
