> In this situation you have 3 choices: > 1) more RAM > 2) wait for the upcoming 2.1.5-Release ( in a few days ) > 3) Install the latest 2.1-SNAP ( it includes a boot4-floppy) It might be worth mentioning that the 2.1-SNAP boot floppy allows you to select the version of the operating system you wish to install, so you can still install 2.1.0-RELEASE from it. > P.S.: In every case: every serious FreeBSD with 4 MB of ram > will be nearly unusable ( only my $0.02) It will certainly struggle to run X or compile programs, but is probably acceptable for a very basic Unix box.
