Hello!

I have a computer with i486SX ,18MB RAM and 170MB HDD. Is it possible to install FreeBSD with 
X-Window on such a system and ecpect a "normal" work at lest with Netscape? 
I have tried to install via FTP the latest version with default settings for harddrive,but it appears that there is not enough space for X-Window with this configuration. May be I have to use much earlier versions of FreeBSD ? I looked through the FAQ but there are no direct recommendations about which version to choose in case you have an old system.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
