I was wondering if I could install 386bsd kernel source and compiler on a 14MB partition on my HD. That is all I can afford for now. I did the same for Linux and was very impressed by it. I want to see what 386bsd looks like on my PC. Does anyone have experiences with this configuration? Thanks a lot. H.J.
