From what I know, you should be able to accomplish this with old FBSD. Not the recent one, though. Their requirements are much more demanding. Any FBSD version less than or equal to 4.0 stable could do this. Mark this word: "Do absolute minimal install and restrict your install with only the ones you absolutely need to run VNC" From http://www.cheapbytes.com, they say this: " CheapBytes CD-R Containing FreeBSD 3.5.1 Install $ 4.99" Or, if you have any machine with CD-RW, then try here: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ISO-IMAGES-i386/3.5.1-install.iso Good luck and have fun!
