I started reading the system requirements for 3.3-RC and the first thing I noticed was that 5MB is still listed as the memory requirements. It is more or less common knowledge that you require 8MB minimum and 12MB in general to install FreeBSD. It seems like this statement should be corrected. The 3.3-RC INSTALL.txt reads as follows: FreeBSD requires a 386 or better processor to run (sorry, there is no support for '286 processors) and at least 5 megs of RAM to install and 4 megs of RAM to run. You will need at least 100MB of free hard drive space for the most minimal installation. See below for ways of shrinking existing DOS partitions in order to install FreeBSD. -- Kent Stewart Richland, WA mailto:kstewart@3-cities.com http://www.3-cities.com/~kstewart/index.html SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) @ Home http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
