Hi, I am currently deciding what type of OS I will run on my nice new laptop. Linux runs more or less fine, but the recent Linux distribution are very strange in the way they install the system. A lot of stuff is installed that I don't like or need. (Behaves a little bit like Windows in my eyes.) And it also only supports my graphics card through the rather slow FB device. I personally would prefer to run FreeBSD 4.0 on it. The way FreeBSD installs is the way I like my system to install. I only get what I really want and need. But my first tries sucked, cause I only get the machine working in a small console window. No X and no frame buffer device either. So I like to ask, if anybody has tried it and hopefully succeded. My requirements are rather small. I only a full screen console window. X is no need for me, cause for my tasks it is sufficient to have a nice console. Is it possible to get this running under FreeBSD? I have searched the web and the available documentation, but didn't find any hint. Hopefully someone might help me.
