Hi Lucas, I, too, would be intersted in any responses to your enquiry since I also have an old laptop with a similar configuration. I read regarding DEBIAN linux that the problem was not how much memory it needed to RUN, but how much memory it needed to INSTALL. When installing FreeBSD there is the option to install it via the parallel port from a FreeBSD machine - maybe a solution for the diskette problem. Let'"s hope someone has more information :-) regards Sepp > Hello, > > i've got an old laptop here, a 486 SX 25 with 4 MB RAM and 80 MB HD.
