Hi ,=20
I was trying to install Freebsd on an old 486DX33 my aunt gave =
me , but when it installs , the computer freezes. Everything works well =
with my 2 floppies , I also see that the CD is spinning , it begins to =
copy , but it freezes, I burned another CD , I thought it could be that, =
but it does the same thing. I spoke about this to some of my friends and =
they say the problem is my memory. I only got 8 Megs of memory and i =
think that could be the problem. I was wondering if i had 20 or even 32 =
megs of memory if freebsd would be running. I don't want to install any =
X-window component , only the text mode and I'd like to use my Freebsd =
box as a Web,ftp server and maybe as a gateway for my personal home =
network. Would I be able to do all those things with my pc if I'd have =
20 Megs of Ram.
Eric
