Hello, I could not find the answer to my question elsewhere, so I have turned to you for help. I have FreeBSD version 2.1.5, which I wish to install on an Intel Pentium machine (details below), and I would like to know how much hard disk space I should allot. On the back of the CD box is written 60 MB for a binary only system, which will be what I want, but does that include the X windowing system? I will not be installing any applications or doing any development for now. If you could tell me how much space I will need for the binary system, including X Window, swap space and any more room I need just to have a smoothly operating system, I would be glad. Here are more specific details of my system: Intel Pentium CPU at 100 Mhz Motherboard with Intel Chipset (Don't know the brand) 16 MB Main Memory 2.16 GB Samsung HDD (IDE) S3 Trio 64 V+ ( /64 /32) 86C765 Graphics Card (Surf brand, I believe), with 2 MB memory Realtek RTL8029AS 86017T1 (10 or 100/10 Mbps switching, I am not sure) PCI Ethernet Card (Will be connected via UTP cable to a 3COM Superstack II hub, to which Windows 95, 98 and 2000 systems are also connected) Thank you, Steve _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
