Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org any suggestions for the best FreeBSD configuration for a Sony VAIO PCG-XG9 ? I unfortunately need to leave win98 on it, although I can reduce the size of the partition it lives in. i run -current on most of my machines, but so far i have no recent experience with running FreeBSD on a laptop (not since 2.2.2) from what i've seen on the current & hackers lists it seems like 4.0 is probably not the best option at the moment, but i haven't had much of a chance to look at how things work in 3.3 w/ or w/o PAO i can live w/o the internal modem, and sound if necessary, but i would like to have X, a well supported network card, and suspend modes. i'm pretty comfortable with -current on my non-critical desktop systems and wouldn't mind being a test site if that's where most of the hardware is supported. -- Tom Uffner tom@wact.net Themes were useless.
