Hi everybody ! It's some months I read this mailing list just because I use freebsd happily and with much satisfaction, mine and of my customer, and because I'm a lot curious in small systems and small PC. Now, we've been committed to develop a small device that may allow to communicate the position of medical personnel and relavite cars to a central server via GSM phone calls and in the future probably some GPS devices. I won't discuss the details of this work, what is important is that I read in the last months about some little PC embedded in single, small cards called pc/104. I soon realized that this could be a great opportunity to start using picobsd and that cards for something completely different that router setup and so on (what I do mainly now). In few words, something extremely interesting. What I need now it's some more information about the use of picobsd in a pc/104 environment. I read the info on the Mesa site, but I still lack some basic startup hints: what items should I buy to completely develop a prototype and so on. Are all the devices implemented on that cards (Flash IDE, ethernet,..) completely supported by picobsd ? May I install something like PPP on that cards ? Someone with more experience than me could tell me what kind of problems I could find with such a setup ? Some hints would be a great help :) Christian Angelini To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
