Download - HDD space is plentiful :+) Basically, as bare bones as possible, I just want to know if it works. Then I'll probably acquire the CD image somehow to get the rest....that, or wait until either the 686B problem is fixed, or I get a PCI IDE controller to replace it. > You can easily fit a fairly complete FreeBSD installation in 150 MB. > This includes most things except the sources and X-windows plus a few > ports.

Not too bad i guess...anyone know how the installer will cope with a dropped dial up connection half way through the install? Freeserve (UK) automatically kicks me off their dialup every 2 hours regardless (a very annoying habit sometimes)...ah well, I suppose you can't complain, it's still the cheapest 24x7 internet access around these backward parts.
