Hi all.

I recovered and old ThinkPad 560 10U from my office trash pool. I'd 
really like to put FreeBSD on it.

My questions are these? Should I go with the PAO or the 3.3 release, 
or current, or stable?

The 3.3 release recognizes my 3com 3C589D-TP etherlink III, and i can 
install via ftp. When I tried to PAO-ize the kernel, next time I 
booted it said invalid entry in rc.conf file and dropped to single 
user mode, losing half my files system  (everything but /) .

Before the PAO disaster, I tried unsuccesfully to get x-windows to 
work alos. Any suggestions there?
According to IBM specs, it has a trident CYBER9382 chipset, and a 
DSTN passive matrix 800x600 display, with 1M video ram.

And finally, will there be, or is there now, support for the Linksys 
Etherfast 10/100 + 56k combo card?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm sort of a newbie (no kidding)

Thanks
Chuck
