This depends entirely on your hardware. A 486/DX2 machine with a good disk (SCSI) should easily support 8. > 2) Does FreeBSD support the Mitsumi/Sony CD-ROM interface?

Mitsumi yes, Sony I'm not sure about currently - this is in a state of flux. > 3) Can part of the OS run off of the CD-ROM, or does it have to be > installed onto disk? It must be installed. > 4) Does FreeBSD support Cyrix processors? Yes, but I'd hardly recommend one! Jordan
