Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Some laptops have propriatary hardware, and won't run FreeBSD. The easiest way to see if yours will is download the boot floppy, stick it in and boot. If it boots, then it should work fine. I'm running XFree86 and FreeBSD 2.2.5 on my Toshiba 486/75 laptop with no problems. Except the tiny hard disk that is. You can also try PAO (http://www.jp.freebsd.org/PAO/) if you have a PCMCIA card that doesn't work with stock FreeBSD. Also, there is freebsd-mobile for laptop issues and freebsd.
