Hi Tobias,

 TE> Las time I cared ~ 200 MB, maybe more nowadys, but 500 MB is enough

 TE> The rest of the stuff is packages, ports and source code. That's one 
 TE> nice thing about FreeBSD - the core system is just 200 MB and you get 
 TE> everything that you expect from a "standard" Unix including even 
 TE> basic development tools. The rest of the CD's is just software that

 TE> window stuff.

Mmmm....., when I get around to moving my e-mail and gateway setup onto my NT 
box, I think I will put FreeBSD 4.0, that I have here, on this otherwise 
worthless 486DX2 66 with 24 Meg RAM and a 500 Meg HDD.
