All this sounds nice but why in heaven should a basic "operating system" need all this ?: > A practical minimum for running FreeBSD with X on a PC is 80486DX/2-66, > 16Mb RAM , 2Mb SVGA-card and 200Mb Harddiskspace. If DOS showed anything then it's its use of just some 256 K mem in an XT-type to run with, and (even in later versions, less than) 6 MB disk storage. I would consider everything more as "application"; which you may or may not need to use in order to do certain tasks. (The memory wall of 640 K is quite a different affair. I don't know why nobody tries to get *this* wall down; those DOS-expanders and DPMIs are work-arounds, not really next steps beyond the first primitive DOS.) // Heimo Claasen // <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> // Brussels 1999-12-26 HomePage of ReRead - and much to read ==> http://www.inti.be/hammer To unsubscribe from SURVPC send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe SURVPC in the body of the message.
