Only if the store you purchase from will let you. :-) Many years ago I slapped a copy of Linux on a 486DX33 in the store before I would buy it. But if your question was, "Will FreeBSD work on a Pentium II?", can't say that I've tried it myself but know of absolutely no reason why it wouldn't. And I'm sure we'd hear lots of cries of anguish of P-II users on these lists if it didn't work. Something like the early AMD K6 cries of pain. Only gotcha re: Pentium-II I've heard of is the 512M RAM limit. Or is that a limit of 512M RAM that's cachable? -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
