I can run NetBSD in 200MB with a bit to spare. >I don't think those 2 manuals will help you understand *nix any >better. You really need to try installing it so that you can experience >it yourself.

LOL I have my firewall/router/DNS Server on a IIci using NetBSD and while setting it up isn't very Mac-like, it's not that difficult once you learn a bit about vi and can comprehend it's way of doing things. Once you have that, you're a go since there are plenty of us Vintage Maccers using NetBSD on 68k Macs with still active development.
