Hi I am trying to install FreeBSD in celeron machine(part of specs detailed below) The freeBSD handbook mentions a few hardware items which freeBSD is supposed to be compliant with However, there are obviously a lot of other points that are not mentioned Can anyone please patiently explain a) if this is the only list on the free BSD site b) and do I need to worry about the extra items that win98 control panel claims that are in the machine c) when I try to install from a CD - the first screen shows a number of conflicts in device drivers and asks me to disable some of them - on what basis I am supposed to disable the drivers and what happens if I incorrectly disable some of them also if someone can describe first hand novice experience in installing freeBSD - then it will be really helpful - (this is getting a bigger project than it was supposed to be ) Specs: CDROM : LG CD ROM CRD 8322B Disk drives Generic IDE DISKType 01 Generic NEC Floppy Disk Display Adapters Intel(R) Chipset Graphics Driver PV 1.0 Floppy disk controller Standard Floppy disk controller Hard disk controller Primary IDE controller(single fifo) Standard Dual PCI IDE IDE Controller Standard IDE/ESDI Hard disk controller HCF MODEM Rockwell PCI Modem Enumerator Monitor unnknown Network adapaters dial up To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
