It's minimum requirements are on the order of an 8088 with 256k of ram and a single floppy drive, and you far and away exceed those requirements with your system. FreeBSD would probably work on your system if you upgraded the amount of memory to 12 MB. --- Andy To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
