Seriously, assuming you're using the i386 version, you need a 386 or above with at least 12MB of RAM (I think that's the latest figure for RAM, it seems to change a lot). I think you can run in 8 but you need 12 for install. I'd give 16 as the lowest practical minimum. As for disk space, it depends how much you want to do with it, but you should be able to do a minimal install in about 200MB plus a bit for swap. -- Ben Smithurst / ben@FreeBSD.org / PGP: 0x99392F7D FreeBSD Documentation Project / To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
