X-Priority: 3 (Normal) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have an old 486 PC which I would like to operate as an xterminal attached to my FreeBSD machine via an Ethernet. Ideally, the 486 PC would initially boot from a floppy then load a minimal FreeBSD kernel and an X server over the network. I have read section 14.3 in the FreeBSD Handbook and searched the mail archives. Neither seem very helpful for this problem. I hope someone who has already done this might be save me a lot of time by giving me some instructions. -- David May mail: mayd@cygnus.uwa.edu.au
