All,
I was wondering if it was possible to install
FreeBSD on an old 486 that I have laying around my
house. The intent is to have it running as an NAT box
and as a firewall. The specs are:
- Cyrex 486 DX2/66MhZ
- 8 Megs RAM
- RealTec clone network card
- 8 Gigs hard drive space (upgraded from 400 Meg)
- 4x CDROM drive
- Cirrus Logic VGA card
- External 56K modem
I was wondering if there was anything special I had to
do to get the install running. It hangs after
selecting the packages to install. Upgrading the RAM
isn't an option right now, unfortunatly.
Thanks in advance,
Edward Guldemond
