I've got a cable modem, can I install FreeBSD over the internet? (I've got the boot floppy, but I am not sure how it will find the connection -- yes I have all the IP information, etc). It's working under NeXTStep right now.... Now the real question: how much diskspace do I really need? The 2.1.7 CDs say 340 MB, but then again, I think they still clain Win95 will run under 8MB of RAM, so I'd like to hear some real numbers... My config: P133 processor Adaptec 2940 Tyan Tomcat III P5 motherboard Micropolis SCSI-1 HD Cogent PCI Ethernet Card & Intel EtherExpress Pro/10+ PS/2 trackball Matrox Millenium w/ 4VRAM My CD-ROM is a Sony CDU-76 (I've got the 2.1.7 CDs but I am not sure if my CD-ROM is compatible or not...) TjL ps -- I've lurked for awhile here but this is my first attempt to actually do anything.... -- TjL / http://www.peak.org/~luomat/next/ "The best things in life are made into inferior versions and bundled with the latest Microsoft systems" NeXT bookmarks: http://www.peak.org/~luomat/next/bookmarks.html
