Time for kernel compilation obviously depends on the actual hardware. E.g., on a P233 machine with 128M the elapsed time is about 5 minutes, but on 486DX33 with 20M the compilation of `my' kernel takes more than an hour. I've no experience with a 386 system and 4M (your hardware?), but time may grow heavily. Furthermore, as I remember, isn't 5M the required minimum since 2.2-RELEASE? 2.0.5(?)-RELEASE worked fine for me on a 4M system, but it seems to be long ago ... :-) Konrad Heuer // Gesellschaft fuer wissenschaftliche Datenverarbeitung mbH // Goettingen (GWDG), Am Fassberg, D-37077 Goettingen, Germany // // kheuer@gwdu60.gwdg.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
