Has an 8 bit NE2000 NIC which required the NFS window be reduced to 1k or so. I used this as a "portable FreeBSD netinstall box" back in the bad old days before I could afford a CD-R, or even have CD-ROM on many machines.
You could try FreeBSD 2.2.9! It was released April 1st 2006. "Releases which are published from a -STABLE branch will be supported by the Security Officer for a minimum of 12 months after the release." http://www.freebsd.org/security/security.html#adv So technically it's a current and fully supported release of FreeBSD!!! hahahaha! :-0 -- BSD Podcasts @: http://bsdtalk.blogspot.com/ http://freebsdforall.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
