I have the 4 cd set of release 2.2.7 and did have it installed on the old machine. The latest computer now is an Asus A7V with a Duron @950,256 megs ram. Lpt1 has a scanner and printer, lpt2 has a zip and printer. Com1 has an external 56k modem. There is a microscope on one usb port and a usb to ethernet adapter (for the cable modem) on another. There is also a Realtek ethernet adapter for the home network. The video is an Asus V3800, 32 meg. The question, will 2.2.7 work on the new machine? I can boot from the cd and have removeable hard drives so it would be going on it's own 4.3 drive. Would it be better to download the later version and install from floppies? Thanks in advance for any help. Bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
