tired of a dual-boot system, so I want to just install FreeBSD or another
linux distribution(maybe ubuntu) on my notebook.
My questions are:
1) Can FreeBSD work well with my hardware? The display card, CDRW/DVDRW,
wireless, Ethernet and battery managment are the most important.

Oops, sorry, I was not specific enough:
FreeBSD 4 or older NetBSD are no go:
The computer I am doing this is not old, it is otherwise brand new, but
it uses an embedded cpu, a 486 clone as SoC without math. See
www.compactpc.com.tw, eBOX 2300SX. It is very low cost, runs on about
3W of powe
Also Slackware has a rather Unix-like concept. The versions until 11 (if
I remember right) still run on the 2.4 kernel and have an option to
install without X11 and KDE and such. I still use it on a slow server,
it is easy to understand when you come from BSD-land.

There is no explicit fsck for the root partition. If you have
background-checking enabled there is a single call to "fsck -p -F" that
does foreground checking on filesystems in fstab that aren't eligible
for background-checking. AFAIK the

You may put fsck_y_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf file.
The other option is to modify /etc/rc.d/fsck which is not so good

Hi,
You must cvsup your ports tree before you execute the portupgrade. This
way you make your system aware of the need of update.
In your case I asume it would be better to make your main server a cvs
replica of the ports tree and use it for internal synchronization.
