Are the appropriate device drivers built-in to the kernal on the boot floppy? Or will I have to put everything on floppies prior to installation? Second, I am considering purchasing a TI TravelMate 4000 WinDX/50 with a 200MB IDE drive and 8MB RAM. According to __Byte Buyer's Guide to portable computers__ the memory architecture for the TI travelmate is not paged, not interleaved, but "neither". Will this be a problem for FreeBSD. BTW TI's tech support has so far been useless with this question. Thanks. jeff goldberg -- Jeff Goldberg Internet: goldberg@csli.stanford.edu
