Do you think this is possible? > And do you have by any chance a URL where I can find picobsd? > thnx ram --> FreeBSD 2.1.7 was the last version of FreeBSD that could be installed on a 4MB system. FreeBSD 2.2 and later needs at least 5MB to install on a new system. All versions of FreeBSD will run in 4MB of RAM, they just cannot run the installation program in 4MB. You can add extra memory for the install process, if you like, and then after the system is up and running, go back to 4MB. Or you could swap your disk into a system which has >4MB, install onto the disk and then swap it back. see also --> http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/install.html#FOUR-MEG-R AM-INSTALL picobsd --> http://people.freebsd.org/~picobsd/ or just try www.google.com and search for "picobsd" boot floppies --> ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.4-RELEASE/floppies/ how to use boot floppies --> http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-pre.html (look at the end of the file) Sorry about the wrong information about 16 MB RAM.
