So I intended to test FreeBSD on my old PC: Pentium, 133MHz, 16 Mo memory. I used floppies as indicated ( I had to use the drivers one equally for my CD reader to be detected ). The "base" has been installed in a moderate time. But as I wanted to get graphics advantage, I choosed to add KDE tools, fonts, etc. Install time: 16 hours (!). And I still don't have xf86cfg to get my graphic screen. (in what package is it ?) So, my question: is the time duration normal ? And what is the minimum packages to install in way to get a minimum of graphics, so usefull for a beginner . Thank you -- Using M2, Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/
