I saw a webpage a while back that described a PLIP install using the install floppies. However, when I tried to install to my Compaq LTE/486 - I noticed that the PLIP method was missing. I know the machine has a functioning printer port, set to the usual IRQ/port combination. I figure a custom kernel with a lot of trimming will be required, so I would like as fast a connection as possible for an NFS mount. Alternately, are there any Parallel Port -> Ethernet adapters that FreeBSD supports? The machine is, as stated, a Compaq LTE/486 with 12Mb of RAM, a 500Mb hard disk, and a 486DX processor. Will a minimal install fit on this machine, or should I look into picoBSD? The machine will largely be used for text editing and modem/serial communications - not heavy processing. In fact, I'm not even sure you can run X on this system. Any ideas?
