Everything at the office is big, but at home, I built a gateway for my LAN so that the whole family could have simulaneous net access. My gateway box is 486 DX50 32Mb RAM 212 Mb HDD it runs like a dream Dont know if your 12 Mb RAM is enough, I have no experience in that area, but try it unless someone else can advise) For your reference, when you carve up the disk, allow about 40 MB for / , 10 for /var , and the rest for /usr . Also you will want a swap in there as well, the standard is to allocate twice your amount of RAM as swap, again I have no experience with 12Mb RAM, but I think I would be tempted to allocate more than 24Mb swap..... (say 50Mb.????) Someone may have more experience and give better advice, if not, give it a try.......... After all, what have you got to lose ?????? The 486 stands a far better chance of flying on FreeBSD than is does on ........ Ahhhhh...... what's that other thing called ??????? (something beginning with "M" ??????)
