Message-ID: <20010102133640.A3015@grumpy.dyndns.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i Sender: dkelly@grumpy.dyndns.org Sender: owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Searching http://www.freebsd.org/search/, http://www.cse.ucsc.edu/~dkulp/fbsd/laptop.html, and others have not found any reference good or bad as to the HP n3410. Circuit City is advertising it at $799 before the useless MSN rebate but after store and manufacturer rebates. Or maybe I'm confused and its at Best Buy. At that price the entry level is low enough to finally put an end to my lack of a laptop. But without FreeBSD is would so useless that the much higher price of a Mac laptop would be justified for Mac OS X. I really don't expect the built in modem to work. But would need a supported PCMCIA ethernet card. Am open to consideration of other machines too. Successes? Failures? Any suggestions for compatibility test I might be able to get away with in the store? Such as booting the 4.2 live filesystem CDROM? -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
