I was trying to install 4.4 LiteFreeBSD into my 486DX100 computer with 16MEG RAM. This copy came with the "The Complete FreeBSD" by Greg Lehey.
I was curiously installing it on a tiny 170MEG Western Digital Harddrive(2170).
My questions would be:
1. Can a bare minimum FreeBSD system be installed on that harddrive knowing
that the minimum that the book mentioned is 200 MEG?
2. Does FreeBSD recognize or support WD 2170? FreeBSD could not see my
harddrive which both MSDOS or Linux can see without any problem.
Thanks for the reply.
