I was trying to install 4.4 LiteFreeBSD = into my=20 486DX100 computer with 16MEG RAM. This copy came with the "The Complete = FreeBSD"=20 by Greg Lehey.

I was curiously installing it on a tiny = 170MEG=20 Western Digital Harddrive(2170).

My questions would be:

1. Can a bare minimum FreeBSD system be = installed=20 on that harddrive knowing

= that the minimum that the book mentioned is 200 = MEG?

2. Does FreeBSD recognize or support WD = 2170?=20 FreeBSD could not see my

harddrive which both = MSDOS or=20 Linux can see without any problem.

Thanks for the reply.
