That's a good question. If it works at all, I think you will find that it runs faster than Win95. I just wonder if it will work. FreeBSD is EXTREMELY hardware-sensitive and hardware-aware, and probes for PC hardware directly at every step of the bootup procedure. If it finds a single thing it doesn't like, you'll be liable to get a kernel panic and boot failure. I don't know if it can be emulated or not. Why not give it a try - it's free :-) At 09:35 AM 7/20/98 -0400, Dennis Favro wrote: > Ok..
