Hi there, Recently the issue came up on whether FreeBSD4.2/alpha would be able to install in a low-memory system. I just downgraded one of my Multias to 16Mbytes. It is now happily installing from my homegrown 4.2R cdrom. So: yes, it can be done in 16Mbytes. Not that I would want to run anything serious in so little memory. QUESTION: does anyone have a cache module for a Multia 233Mc hanging around that they are willing to part with? One of my test boxes is a 233 and without any cache it is not a lot of fun. -- Wilko Bulte Arnhem, the Netherlands wilko@freebsd.org http://www.freebsd.org http://www.nlfug.nl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
