Granted, that machine only have 8 MB RAM and a modern machine should have enough memory to not need any swap during an installworld but one should be aware of teh potential problem. -- Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
