>about the BIOS, up to date?<br><br>Arthur --<br><br>They are the latest available from HP for that computer, but I would not attribute the phrase "up to date" to anything on this ancient (PIII 1GHz) computer except the FBSD/PCBSD 8.0 hahaha.<br>
<br>On 8.0-Alpha-20091029 I never had a hang or problem. Moreover, I reinstalled late last night from the same DVD I used for the first installation and guess what -- it installed, rebooted, and now it is working (except that it did not auto-recognize (or recognize) the video card - ATI Radeon VT something or other. I'll be installing an older 64Mb NVidia Ti4200 to see how it fares because vesa is not my favorite in the resolution category.<br>
<br>Thanks for inquiring.<br><br>Ian<br><br><br><br>
