FreeBSD 5.2.1 - Joke-only release ? April Fools ??

[j.e.drews at att.net]

Hello Joe:

 You may want to look here for advice on installing also.
The FreeBSD Laptop Compatibility List

 Maybe you should just get CD 1 of FreeBSD 5.2.1 and try installing from
that?

                        Kind regards,
                        Jonathan
