I think this is the (historical) default, so that people with only 4-8 MB of RAM don't get into trouble ;-) Where 4 MB isn't sufficient anymore with a GENERIC kernel. You need at least 6 MB or so to boot, then compile a custom kernel and then, if you are lucky, can perhaps run with 4 MB. But that information is about 1-2 years old, don't know, if we perhaps already need 6-8 MB nowadays... Though it's zillions better than M$ crap. -- Andreas Klemm http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/~andreas http://www.freebsd.org/~fsmp/SMP/SMP.html powered by Symmetric MultiProcessor FreeBSD Get new songs from our band: http://www.freebsd.org/~andreas/64bits/index.html To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
