FreeBSD forerunners:

I am new to Unix/BSD. I have an old 486 without a CD. I am trying to =
find my way to install a FreeBSD version into this machine. However, =
(unclearly) following the instructions on your site, the images for the =
floppies are too big for the diskettes.=20

My machine has only 160 MB harddrive and 4MB Ram. Don't know if I can =
upgrade the RAM on this. Too old. I want to start with something minimal =
first until I have more money to buy a good machine for it.=20

I have another machine with more RAM (20M) may be that is a better =
choice but will be the same HD.

Can someone help guide me through? I have been at this for quite some =
times and think I have run to an end. Need help. One day I will be able =
to help others too.

Thank you very much.
