Hi, I recently bought a new laptop computer, a Winbook N3: http://www.winbookcorp.com/support/n3/n3_support.html I am interested in installing FreeBSD-CURRENT on this machine. The hard drive can be pre-installed with Windows XP, and I don't want to blow away that install, nor do I want to resize the partition. The computer comes with a "Texas Instruments OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Adapter". Would I be able to buy an external Firewire hard disk and install a bootable FreeBSD partition on that disk? What is the state of Firewire support under FreeBSD? The computer also comes with the following hardware: - Lucent Winmodem - Accton EN2242 10/100 Ethernet adapter - S3 Twister video card Would I be able to use these under FreeBSD? Thanks. -- Craig Rodrigues http://www.gis.net/~craigr rodrigc@attbi.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
