Any comment on the vaios? (fwd) In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org 2.2.8 you can install because it is only one floppy. 3.2 you can't (2 floppies). Through installing 2.2.8 first, you should be able to do a networked install first and upgrade to 3.2. That will be solved as soon as I get round to writing the driver for the Y-E Data floppy drive I have at home. Nick P.S.: I'd be willing to write the driver right away if someone can give me good reasons to shift priorities. > Any usb comment. > > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > Date: Thu, 12 Aug 1999 10:43:29 +0200 > From: Terje Elde > To: Stefan `Sec` Zehl > Cc: freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: Re: Which laptop?
