Alex, If your 486SX has a floppy that works then you are okay. FreeBSD will install from 2 floppies, takes a little longer but still works. This IS based upon the assumption that you either have: a) A CD-ROM on your 486SX and a FreeBSD CD-ROM. b) A network card (or similar device eg: ppp) that can tie you to a FreeBSD source. You can find out more information here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-pre.html Also from the FreeBSD.org website: 3.4. What do I need in order to run FreeBSD? You will need a 386 or better PC, with 5 MB or more of RAM and at least 60 MB of hard disk space. It can run with a low end MDA graphics card but to run X11R6, a VGA or better video card is needed. So you should be fine. R. On Sun, 14 Sep 2003, Alex Zivenko wrote: > How to install freebsd on this machine? (Intel486SX-25Mhz, 8 Mb Memory, 100Mb HDD).
