Three specific pieces of hardware I am having to contend with are the following: Creative Labs DVD Drives & CD-RW drives Creative Labs Soundblaster Models: Live and 64AWE. Sohoware Fast Ethernet Card based on NDC SMC EZNET ethernet card LinkSys LNE100TX ethernet card. Obviously, these cards are not all on the same machine. However, it is my desire to make as many of the computers within the lab I am working with. Could you provide some insight? Lastly, I am having an interesting time configuring FreeBSD 4 or 5 on an AMD Athon system. Unlike my installs of 4 on Pentium I and II systems, this one seems to have a few configuration glitches. Can we keep an open dialog on how to work with this system? Eventually, I wish the lab to use BSD in two ways. One as the Network OS, and the other as a "choice" OS on the terminals.
