I don't know how much space/ram the school will give me for now. I will set it has a server. It will do various function: e-mail, http, ftp, telnet(eventually ssh, when I will take the time to learn it). It won't have a screen/keyboard after the first install. 1) How big is the minimal install? I did go through /stand/sysinstall on this system and in the FAQ/Handbook, but I didn't find info on how big it was. 2) How big is the User Install 3) Would the minimal install do all the job I want? 4) What's not in the minimal install? 5) Would PicoBSD be faster? I can mount a swap partition. Also, they have a lot of 486 who are in a closed room and who do nothing. I'm sure that's waiting for another project :-) Maybe a distributed system?
