Check out ebay.com, Get a deal on some ram and another hard drive, ive had very good success with purchasing old Caviar drives off ebay. Right now, it wont run with only 4mb of ram, get as much as you can, 8mb at the bare minimum. 170mb is enough for an instalation, not a full one, I ran a minimal installation of freebsd 3.2 on a 386 with 8mb ram and a 100mb drive, and it ran pretty good as a gateway, but ive since got an old amd 133 box for the gateway... maybe this will help, good luck On Tue, 10 Aug 1999, Johnny Trivedi wrote: > I have been trying to step in to some sort of *nix environment but am > not too sure that I want to try it on my current PC.
