I put 4.2 with the X-User distribution on an older armada with a 2.1 gig drive and 64 megs ram, it worked beautifully, even found the (supposedly) winmodem that mandrake linux 7.2 couldn't find. connected to the network using a dlink wireless network card loading the linux utilities with the linux compatibility option. Go for it. Jim On Saturday 02 June 2001 04:34 am, E. Romeo wrote: > Good morning, > > I'd soon wish to install the last version of FreeBSD on a laptop Compaq > Armada E500.
