My pentium 100 MHz with 16 MB RAM runs smoothly with FreeBSD 4.10 , it 
even runs fvwm under X. I am not able to run 5.3 install, as I only have 
16MB, I was suspecting that I need more memory for the install proccess. 
When I get another 16MB RAM to test, I will tell you. Will it be 
necessary to change the memory requirements in he handbook?


We will see.
Ramiro.
