In the end I decided against running FreeBSD on my desktop machine, since the PCMCIA card reader is quite dodgy - it barely works in Linux! I have just acquired a Sony Picturebook C1VE - the European model of the C1VN, without internal modem :). Any suggestions on setting this up will be appreciated - especially things like X-Windows and sound (I assume I can just copy my XF86Config from Linux?). Also, are the pre-compiled ports - the packages - kernel-dependant? (not sure what the terminology is, steeped in the Linux world). As in, after doing a CVS update and rebuilding sys, will I have to recompile the ports? (uggh). If things go well I'll install the thing over the weekend (but knowing me I'll end up doing it earlier..). Does anyone know why XFree86 4.0.2 is only available as a single package too?
