It's (soldered) on a 386SX-16 motherboard, which automatically limits it to 16MB RAM max. I had no problem installing 3.2-R, and have TI486 chug through 3.5-S. I believe I posted about this before -- it took about 4 or 5 days to build & install world completely. Doing it once was fun, but I have no more wish to doing it again any time in the future. Now like you've said, I just buildworld on faster machine and do NFS then installworld on that TI486. The 'ol handbook says 3.2 (or 3.1? something...) can be run on 5MB RAM, but bit more during install. My guess is 8MB RAM. ------------- clip here with virtual scissors -------------- ************************************************************ Keyboard stuck error. Press F1 to continue.
