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=20
that the minimum that the book mentioned is 200 MEG?
2. Does FreeBSD recognize or support WD 2170? FreeBSD could not see my =20
harddrive which both MSDOS or Linux can see without any problem.
Thanks for the reply.
