(How's that for an antique system!) If memory serves, 2.1.5 was the last boot.flp that would boot unaltered on a 4 meg machine. I have a 386 SX/20 with 4 megs of RAM (appropriately named 'musca') running 2.1.5; as soon as I get a few things organized (including a NFS partition to build on), I'll upgrade it to the latest 2.1-STABLE, and there it shall stay until the poor thing is laid to rest sometime in the (hopefully far) future; it's a good printserver. --- *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* | Matthew Fuller http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd | * fullermd@futuresouth.com fullermd@over-yonder.net * | UNIX Systems Administrator Specializing in FreeBSD | * FutureSouth Communications ISPHelp ISP Consulting * | "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, | * is because I haven't figured out how to light the * | middle yet" | *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
