Hello All!

Got my "Free" copy of Solaris 7 today!!!

Media cost w/shipping $18.83

As soon as I find a machine to install it on.. I'll offer some comments.

In the meantime... can anybody provide any thoughts on the feasibility of
installing FreeBSD on a 486SX/33 notebook w 200MB hard drive & 12MB
RAM?

I have a friend who installed Red Hat on a similarly configured notebook,
and I do have the Red Hat available as well if it comes to that.

The bad news is that the notebook has no CDROM and no connectivity (though
it does have a serial port that would support an external modem). Does
FreeBSD, or RedHat offer provisions for building a floppy install set?
