I was given a Dell Dimension m200a yesterday by someone who recently upgraded. I think it was created around 1997. CPU: Pentium RAM: 48MB odd: This PC runs Win95; but has 2 usb ports. Didn't Win98 predate usb ports? When I try to boot up with the FreeBSD 6.2 installation CD, the system tries to boot from the CD; but then reboots before anything messages from the CD appear on the monitor. Is there something I can try, or should I just give up? I have a hard time throwing functional hardware in the trash. Maybe I'm struggling too much with my own mortality; but that's a different discussion. ;-) Andrewhome | help
