Any recommended minimum/maximum hard disk sizes to install FreeBSD on?  (Alone or maybe dual boot).
8GB to small?  Is 30 or 40GB a waste for normal desktop use or good choice for a dual boot system?  I am planning a install using an
AMD K6-2/350 system with 128MB of ram.  Should I go to 256MB of ram?

I have reconfigured Outlook Express and hope it now proper formats.  Thank for the information!

Michael
