Not a nice idea. I'm not sure this will work. LSD grows rapidly, and requires more and more disc space. νΑΥ be, 3.x or 2.x or famouos 1.5 will run, but it is not a good idea too - poor early versions, with a lot of security holes and other bugs. To be true, now sufficient HDD of about 1G costs less, then the troubles You will have with installing to Your dick :) The other way is to try PicoBSD. -- AY7-UANIC || AY15-RIPE To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
