Mostly, it shouldn't matter. Remember, however, that 5.x isn't really intended for neophytes. http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.1R/early-adopter.html > In Features Setup; Interrupt Mode- PIC or APIC? > > Are there any other bios settings that freebsd > requires or accepts? Don't change any BIOS settings from their defaults except to deal with observed problems. > When setting up the video card configuration in > X-windows, how do you indicate or direct it to use the > AGP slot not a PCI slot? Usually, by inserting a video card into an AGP slot instead of a PCI slot. If you have both installed, then the answer kind of depends on why you did that; the PC architecture doesn't deal well with such a configuration. > Are there any other idiosyncrasies that i need to be > aware of? It's usually best to try the install and deal with problems, rather than trying to anticipate problems that wouldn't have occurred anyway. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
