Hi
The installation notes for 4.11 say, referring to i386 platform
" ...after installation, FreeBSD itself can be run in 4-8MB of RAM
with a pared-down kernel"
The installation notes for 5.4 and 6 (the floppies README.TXT) say
"FreeBSD for the i386 requires ...at least 24 MB of RAM".
Did the memory requirement really jump that much or is something
different being measured?
I have on old tosh 110CT laptop with 24mb memory I want to set up as a
wireless router/NAT box but would prefer to use 6 or 5.4. Can I reduce
the amount of memory required? I have compiled a reduced kernel but it
swaps like mad when compiling. Kismet and deps took over 12 hours.
Just after boot and not doing anything it has about 2mb free and 17
processes running.
Thanks for any suggestions
Chris
