- I am trying to install 386bsd on to my laptop, its a 386sx16, 2Mb ram
- and a 40Meg drive. Now I know its nothing flash or fast, but the release notes
- indicated that you could fit the bin01 on to a 40Meg drive and that 386bsd
- would run with only 2Mb of memory. The install went through fine, but the
- extract is taking "for ever" (over 5 hours now). How long should I wait? It
- seems to be doing some thing, the Hard drive LED is working over time. Has
- anyone done an install on to a 40Meg drive? Or have I got it all wrong.
- Please E-Mail replys to ashley@yakka.enet.dec.com or ashley@wokka.enet.dec.com
