Yes, it's even more than possible, it actually works :-) We ran it on a couple of diskless SLCs, and the only problem we got was that when the machine got heavy loaded (much swapping) it ran out of mbufs. I haven't looked so much at this, maybe later when I get some spare time. It was actually a lot faster than SunOS4 as long as there were lots of free memory in the machine. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Anders Magnusson - ragge@ludd.luth.se - Luleå Academic Computer Society - - May the carrier be with you! -
