installation question

I've got a 'new' old video card that i want to put in my bsd box. Should I wait until I've upgraded to 4.7 before i do it or should I do that prior to upgrading? Opinions? Reasons? thanks, Charles Pelletier Tech. Coordinator St Luke's School To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED

Re: installation question

I don't really think it makes much of a difference. Support for the card will depend much more on the version of X you have installed and whether that version supports the card (assuming you will be running X). If it is just for the system console I don't believe it will matter at all,
