technoid_'s Journal: lappy

okay, was kinda getting down due to acpi issues on laptop with fbsd. I have to have acpi enabled for nic to work, but then the glidepoint won't work. Turn off acpi and the glidepoint works, but not the nic. Suck. I love this machine otherwise. Nice screen, fast cpu, lotsa ram, good size hard drive. Hell, its faster than my desktops.

To get fbsd running on it I downloaded VMware and installed it.

I am rather impressed. I didn't really know what to expect, but now I know why VMware is highly regarded.

i need to do a howto on getting fbsd 5 running with it.
