Sender: owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Greetings - having received some good advice from a reliable source, i am looking to pick up a used box to boot freebsd from scratch, and let the pain and suffering, uh, I mean the fun and games, begin. What I have in mind is a 486/66 with 32MB of ram and a 2GB disk. I guess I'll need a floppy and a cd, if that needs to be said. Could probably do with an ethernet connection, although that can probably be added later. I'll need a keyboard, but I think I have a monitor that'll work. How have you, or would you locate such a one, and what should I be aware / beware of? How inexpensively can I do this? thanks, chris lists@vivdev.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
