It should be stressed that these memory requirements set the floor... Not all distribution sets and/or packages on the disc will install using the minimum amount of ram, for example kde-lite and gnome-lite packages will hang sysinstall unless you have 64MB ~ 128MB of ram, I did not thoroughly test this so speak up now and I'll get you some numbers to work with. -- BSD Podcasts @: http://bsdtalk.blogspot.com/ http://freebsdforall.blogspot.com/
