If it has to do with just installing FreeBSD on your laptop, well, there's the freebsd manual. A video on how to do it? Wow. you're asking alot from a free mailing list. I could probably make a quick video of me installing FreeBSD 6 onto a laptop for 3 simple payments of $9.99! (plus $12 shipping/handling.) Let me know if you are interested. Now this sort of makes me think of society today. this definitely not true in all aspects, but some people do insist on referring to looking at a TV 24/7. This seems to be quite abundant in the United States midwest. Which may also have to do with the obesity statistics when it comes to geographical location. I'm making an assumption that the one asking the question isn't from the US midwest though. I had a HOWTO set up years ago before X compositing was available and 3ddesktop was really the only 3d thing out. I remember at least 8 emails from people reading the HOWTO and then asking for a live video presentation on howto install it. Am I just being mean by not providing a video HOWTO? Reminds me of those annoying projects I had to do in high school where you have to make an instructional video on howto tie a shoe or howto clean up cat shit. In all honesty, I haven't slept in 36 hours. So please pardon me if this response is at all offensive, or a waste of time. I don't even understand what I'm typing right now. I think I should lay down. -nawcom --------------- Mario Lobo wrote: > On Wednesday 21 November 2007, Gerard wrote: > >>> On November 21, 2007 at 07:11AM Mario Lobo wrote: >>> >>> On Wednesday 21 November 2007, tusar kumar wrote: >>> >>>> hi >>>> i want to know how can i assembly laptop. i want a video copy >>>> >>> Ahahahahah ! >>> >>> Sorry guys.
