If you want it easy, go to Distrowatch.com and select one of the live CDs there. You should try out FreeSBIE, Frenzy, Damn Small Linux, and Vector Linux. First two are FreeBSD based while the last two are linux-based. You can run them as a live CD or use them as installers. --- Stojance <dimitrovskim@mt.net.mk> wrote: > Dear FreeBSD > I really like your OS and I want to install it on a > really old Toshiba > Notebook (lap-Top).
