Dear Guilherme. You are in the happy position, with 8MB, to install whatever version of FreeBSD you want. The needlewhole sotosay were my 4 MB and 2.1.5 still has an install floppy for such situations. You'll need some space on your HD. Maybe you just do a minimal install of just /bin. And some packages, lynx, pine, fetchmail, procmail. I dont know of any 2.x isos (that you dont need). All I know is a mirror in Sweden, I think it is ftp2.se.freebsd.org, that still has a 2.x RELEASE for download. Installing via PLIP is fast and uncomplicated. I once bought a german 2.1.5 RELEASE, at a bookshop, sale, and never thought that I could use it..... You may have a copy if you really want it. But it is antique, my ppp is of the newer PicoBSD floppy, and if you have a running 4.x system it is much easier, config files etc, to use this. Best, and tell me how it worked. H. 4.x has a two floppy install, 3.x comes with 1 floppy, maybe you should take this. 3.5 is easy to find, last time I looked around.
