I already mentioned somewhere on some mailing lists that good old 386DX20
I was using in 1994 with FreeBSD-1.1-R - it was a fine machine, but making
a kernel took about 8-9 hours (3 MByte RAM but SCSI disks) as it was
constantly swapping meanwhile, and although at that time I really didn't
think of making the world, I wouldn't have tried that without a good UPS
on such a machine :-) (It's a little like building PCL font images from
description files under Windows, for 50-60 mbytes of fonts I remember
more than two days on a 386 - hey, this was in 1988 and there were not
much Windoze users speaking of PostScript this time :-)
Regards,
Martin
