I tried to look for an alternative board for the AMD 500 Mhz CPU Slot A type. I looked on eBay, but they average around $40 to $60 dollars and come with no case. The current board I have for it works with a PCI video card.
The alternative board is a Pentium II 200 Mhz board. This board works with a ISA video card. I have the parts I need to get the Pentium Board stable, but I am short a floppy disk and CD-ROM. The BIOS does not allow a CD-ROM boot.
The ISO-image I am downloading that will handle a Pentium II CPU is the PC98. When I get the Pentium II hardware stable, then the ISO will install FreeBSD.
A friend in Covina wants to help build a BSD Server. Also, this gives him an excuse to purchase a crimp tool and some CAT-5e cabling. It will be a day project if he can fit it in his schedule.
Hey Alfredo!
Did you try swapping out a "good" keyboard and mouse? Are you sure it's the mobo?
Be careful when removing CPUs from mobos. Most CPUs use thermal material between the die (CPU core) and heat sync. If you don't want the CPU to run hotter, you'll need to replace this material before installing the chip on a new mobo.
If you do need a new mobo, you shouldn't need a new case. If you have an ATX case, you can simply swap out the mobo.
Matthew,
Yes, I swap out keyboard and mouse. I am sure it is the mobo.
Oh snap, I forgot about the die and terminal connectors. Oh joy.
I am using the same case that came with the AMD 500Mhz board. AMD CPU is still good, but that would mean I would need a another ATX Case for it.
The Pentium II came with it's own mobo. I purchased it a while back, but didn't have time to look for cases for it.
I have been reading some posts at LinuxQuestions.ORG and found some that look promising and could gift some hints on how to go about networking Linux Desktops. From my current experience, a server can handle DHCP (Windows probably), but can a Linux Server handle a DHCP as well? We will find out once we get a Linux Server Built and table. I am really excitied about this network project now!
My friend and I worked on installing freebsd 5.2.1, but didn't install the X System because it stalled during installation. He will be giving me the ISOs for the i386s machines CDs.
We also worked out a diagram of where the switches, hubs, and wiring should go for all three buildings on the site. We will research how firewall filtering of network traffic will work soon.
Just finished install xserver and configuring gnome. Works fine. Now, to figure out the firewall rules to protect our private network.
Just recently purchased an AMD 1.4 Ghz mother with 1 Gig of RAM with 128 NVIDIA video. It is a bare bone system, but will need to obtain the 20 gig drive I used as a second drive in a previous machine. So, I am building a seperate Linux box with a Windows 2003 Server as well.
