I just installed 5.3-RC1 on a Panasonic Toughbook (366 MHz PII) last night and things are working well. I haven't gotten a lot running yet but don't foresee any problems. The only gotcha is I had to re-compile the kernel to get my Proxim wireless card working (default kernel doesn't have Atheros support) but that was a matter of adding a couple of lines in my kernel's conf file and typing two commands.

I have installed several Linux versions on them (Caldera 2.4/3.1 - RH - SuSe - Mandrake) with minimum re-comps for functionality on the hardware. How does FreeBSD act on laptops any known issues?=20 _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
