Subject: 486 DX33
Hi ,
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.
