I can't say whether it will run in 4 Mb though. I'd be looking at getting another laptop personally! I Googled and found 2.1.7.1 at the address below. The FreeBSD web site doesn't mention 2.1.7.1 though, only 2.1.7. http://ftp.svbug.com/ftp/pub/FreeBSD/releases/2.1.7.1-RELEASE/ There are also several other older versions here, including 2.1.7: ftp://ftp.cse.buffalo.edu/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/old-releases/i386/ Regards Andrew
