Address: darryl_ruzicka@mk.com I am building a computer and would like to know if it will be possible to run FreeBSD 2.0 on it. Is there a new release comming out soon? Can FreeBSD utilize all of the following hardware? If not what are my options? In particular I am concerned about my CD-ROM drive and the second port on the EIDE controller for the extra two drives. Can FreeBSD handle the larger 1.6 Gig. EIDE hard drives? AMD 486DX4 100Mhz Microprocessor PCI/ISA BUS motherboard 256k cache and 8 meg. of RAM. EIDE drive controller built into the motherboard on the PCI BUS. Has channels for 4 hard drives 2 floppys. TEAC QUAD speed CD-ROM with proprietary interface on ISA BUS. Thanks for any help you can provide Darryl...
