I have an old 486 with a minimal install of 2.1.5 on a 80 meg hard drive with room to spare. No X windows though. I've got 3.4 on a newer machine and I installed everything off the CD onto a 2 gig drive and I have some room to spare. (Of course spending too much time drooling on the ports took care of that) If I remember correctly you can get X windows and the kernel sources and plenty of treats into 400 megs. I just fired through the handbook and didn't see the answer to your question. I know it's in the installing and running FreeBSD book I have by Greg Lehey, but its too late to find that. Hope that helps you out. Josh To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
