I've been using FreeBSD in i386 in an ISP, | mostly for Sendmail, DNS and Radius some Apache too. Now I'd | like to squeeze it into a PC/104 or something like that, with | only a "RamDisk" for storage. I need a console port, Ethernet | port, PCMCIA port and enough horsepower to boot, drive the few | devices and route TCP/IP traffic. A 486 or a pentium would do the job. Considering that you probably want encryption on the wireless network, a pentium in a small motherboard form factor would be good. Usually, for this type of systems, we use a flash-type device such as a CompactFlash disk. The other devices can be added on. In addition, you might simply find a motherboard maker who is still making notebook style motherboard for Pentiums. It has been agreed that a 32mb or 24mb CF disk would do fine running 4.x or 3.x. Read the -small archives, should be of help to you. --Michael -- +------------------------------------------------------------------+ | keichii@peorth.iteration.net | keichii@bsdconspiracy.net | | http://peorth.iteration.net/~keichii | Yes, BSD is a conspiracy. | +------------------------------------------------------------------+ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
