A couple of minutes with Google revealed the existence of http://www.freebsdmirrors.org where you can find out where various older releases (including 2.1.7) can be found. With such a small amout of RAM you might wish to consider running NetBSD instead. NetBSD generally puts more emphasis on being able to run on low-end hardware, and I believe even the latest versions of NetBSD can be installed with only 4MB RAM. -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se
