The system bios will not recognize drives larger than 512MB. Could you be so kind to tell me if I can run freeBSD using X11 on such a small hard drive ? If you were very, very careful and only put the bare minimum of what is required for FreeBSD and XFree86, you could probably fit it in under 200 MB. But you could not add anything else. The machine would probably not be very usable as a workstation. -- Crist J.
