I'm not sure about the video card... I dont think there is a driver for the voodoo 5 out yet in XFree86, which means that neither linux nor FreeBSD will work in an manner that is normally acceptable (ie 24/32 bit color and a decent resolution). I think right now the card that works the best is the Intel Pro 10/100B/100+ Ethernet or any intel based card (I'm not sure if just ANY intel card will work, but I'm using one here and it works great) I also have a Kingston KNE100TX on my home computer that works great (it uses the de0 driver, the intel uses the fxp0 driver). Hope this is some help :-) ================================================================= | Kenneth Culver | FreeBSD: The best NT upgrade | | Unix Systems Administrator | ICQ #: 24767726 | | and student at The | AIM: muythaibxr | | The University of Maryland, | Website: (Under Construction) | | College Park. | http://www.wam.umd.edu/~culverk/| ================================================================= On Tue, 27 Jun 2000, Matthew Studley wrote: > Hi, i was very interested in installing a copy of FreeBSD on my system, > however i have some questions that i was hoping you could answer for me. > First of all, I have a Voodoo 5 5500 video adapter on my system.
