I don't think FreeBSD 2.1.5 supports the Realtek PCI NICs. (2.1.5 is quite old.) I would suggest obtaining anything from the 4.x series, which will work quite happily on the machine you describe. The back of my FreeBSD 4.3 CD set indicates 100 MB for a binary-only system. X will set you back by at least another 150 MB or so, depending on your choice of window manager. -- Matt Emmerton > Hello, > > I could not find the answer to my question elsewhere, so I have turned to > you for help. > > I have FreeBSD version 2.1.5, which I wish to install on an Intel Pentium > machine (details below), and I would like to know how much hard disk space I > should allot.
