Hi Anish, I installed FreeBSD 5.2 on a Dell Inspiron 1150 and it works great. A lot of details about post installation stuff are posted on my site; http://www.rdegraaf.nl/freebsd/ Greetings Rob -----Original Message----- From: Anish Babu Pillai To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Sent: 9/28/04 4:27 PM Subject: Dell Inspiron 1150 Importance: High Hi, I've never installed UNIX before. Can you please help me with it? Is there a page where I can find step-by-step instructions? Please don't laugh at me folks. I don't know which version of FreeBSD is 'stable' for notebooks. I don't know how much disk space to allott to UNIX. I have no idea on where to find drivers. Please help. The website is simply too vast for a novice like me. I have a fast Internet connection - downloading is not a problem. If this will help you answer my query, here is some info on the notebook I'm getting this afternoon: Dell Inspiron 1150 running WinXP Pro 2.8GHz Pentium IV @533 Mhs FSB 512Kb on-die L2 cache 512 MB RAM Onboard Intel ExtremeGraphics2 chipset that shares 64MB of system RAM AC '97 soundboard PCMCIA Slot (types I and II) USB 2.0 DVD RW/+R CDRW Combo Optical Drive 40GB HDD hopefully yours, Anish Babu Pillai "We are not human beings who experience spiritual moments ....we are spiritual beings in an occassional human experience..." _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web! _______________________________________________ freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-mobile To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-mobile-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
