Re: FreeBSD notebook


-------------- Original message ----------------------
From: Wojciech Puchar <wojtek@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
i would like to buy notebook to use with FreeBSD. Not new one, something
like Pentium 200-PII/500 with 64-128MB RAM will be OK, and there are lots
of them available cheaply.

Unfortunately most of them have windows-only hardware.
Does anyone here using such machine successfully with FreeBSD.

successfully means:

1) PCMCIA works
2) disk works with DMA.
3) USB works
4) Network works (if present)
5) X works.

Thanks

This should get you started, there may be others.
