[Moved to -chat before I'm lynched] On Tue, Jan 11, 2000 at 01:53:10PM -0700, a little birdie told me that Warner Losh remarked > In message <Pine.BSF.3.96.1000111133039.4135B-100000@calvin.saturn-tech.com> Doug Russell writes: > : See, I knew there was a reason I hung on to all these 1M 30 pin SIMMs. :) > : Old 386/40s sure make nice little router/modem/whatever boxes. :) > > Until their hard disks go south :-(.

Not that I want to do this very > often... I have a 386 SX/16 (no 387) with 4 megs of RAM and a 100 meg drive running (presently) 2.1.5-RELEASE. When I installed it (out of morbid curiosity), I built a kernel, which took about 6 hours. I'm now doing a (NFS) make world of the latest RELENG_2_1_0 (nope, no buildworld on that branch. Anyone wanna try backporting it? ;). It's now in Day 8 and building .../usr.bin/f2c. It took approximately 7 hours to compile troff, thrashing madly the whole time (something like 15 pageins/sec, as fast as the disk would handle). This is with -O -pipe BTW. I'm expecting perhaps 12-15 days for the entire make world.
