1/5     What's a bsd dist that will intall on a 386-25Mhz, 4MB ram, 120 MB HD
        machine. (This is just meant to be an educational endeavour, not a
        dev box- i.e. a box a young'un can mess around with unix on). - paolo
        \_ Dos 6.22!!!
        \_ EdBSD!!!
                \_ Is that standard?
                   \_ Operating system.
        \_ You can get a pretty minimal NetBSD on there. -ERic
        \_ I once tried SCO Unix 3.2.0 on a 386SX-16 4MB with a Hercules
           display and it ran fine.  The OS wasn't free though.
        \_ mconst got freebsd to install on a system like that once.
        \_ I bet you could install netbsd's base.tgz on that, at least.    -brg
        \_ I've installed OS/2 on less....
           \_ But have you installed less on OS/2?
                \_ It sort of ran.  I installed one thing on it.  You decide.
