OK, at 8MB it runs with a non-GENERIC kernel, still booting with all the default services (including ntpd). Logging in over ssh is slow as molasses, but it works (swap is not an option - it's mandatory now ;) This kernel actually has useful options (ipv6, pf, vlan, briding, etc) enabled. It weighs in at 1663498 bytes. You can probably get smaller but not by much. The first idiot to send me a dmesg of a working (real, no VMWare trickery like I'm doing) machine with less memory can come by to pick up a better machine (at least with more RAM) for free. (I may have more machines I want to get rid of and am too lazy to take out to the trash, first come first served) That's it for today, I'm done with BSDM for now ;) Cheers, Paul 'WEiRD' de Weerd OpenBSD 4.4-current (I_AM_IDIOT) #1: Thu Sep 4 18:04:18 CEST 2008 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/I_AM_IDIOT cpu0: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T8300 @ 2.40GHz ("GenuineIntel" 686-class) 2.40 GHz cpu0: FPU,V86,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CFLUSH,DS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,SSE3,DS-CPL,CX16 real mem = 7892992 (7MB) avail mem = 3051520 (2MB) mainbus0 at root bios0 at mainbus0: AT/286+ BIOS, date 04/10/07, BIOS32 rev. 0 @ 0xfd880, SMBIOS rev. 2.31 @ 0xe0010 (45 entries) bios0: vendor Phoenix Technologies LTD version "6.00" date 04/10/2007 bios0: VMware, Inc.
