How much memory is the minimum that would be needed for a very small FBSD system? It wouldn't need to run the installer (5MB), so certainly 4MB would be enough - but would 3 or 2 be OK? It only needs an IDE disk and a net card in the kernel, and it doesn't matter if there is hardly any RAM left for processes. 200K would be enough, I think - I'd be running inetd, so I could ftp or telnet in, plus a small program of my own (don't know how big THAt will be yet, but I'm sure it would be smaller than ftpd.) Thanks, Michael.home | help
