Hello netbsd-users
Thanks for the replies. There seems to be a lot interest on this one. I wil=
l give version 1.5 a try, it was released in 2000. After reading your posts=
and also release announcement from 1.2 up to 1.6 I decided for version 1.5=
. This is a good compromise between resource usage and recency I guess.=20
I`m confident that the OS will perform well on this small machine and that =
RAM will be enough for a generic kernel. After some configurations and syst=
em checks and can also build a custom kernel. There is no soundcard, no mou=
se or NIC on this notebook so the kernel will be damm small. I also found a=
n older sdcc version which fits to this release.=20
Any suggestions for the swap partition size?=20
I didn`t decided if I try floppy or Nullmodem installation, I have bough av=
aliable.=20
Give me some time, I will report back in a few days. Have not time today.=
=20
Greetings Karim=20
