i have had the same problem with 5.0 & with every 4.x i've tried using a xi= rcom pccard with a thinkpad t22. it occurred to me to install with a cdrom & th= en get the card running but was afraid to wipe my linux installation in case t= he card still didn't work. linux isn't my os of choice, but to my mind an os = that gives you net is better than one that doesn't. suggestions other than cdrom? david On Fri, 10 Jan 2003, leafy wrote: :Date: Fri, 10 Jan 2003 18:05:53 +0800 :From: leafy <leafy@leafy.idv.tw> :To: freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG :Subject: Re: Troubles installing 5.0-RC2 on a Thinkpad560 : :On Fri, Jan 10, 2003 at 10:50:40AM +0100, Karl-Petter =C5kesson wrote: :> Yes modified floppies would be great. :> :> I dont really get this.
